Assisted Living & Memory Care Communities

Assisted Living Communities

O

Offer help with non-medical aspects of daily activities in an atmosphere of separate, private living units. In addition to providing meals, transportation for medical appointments, activities and pleasure trips, assisted living may supply: linens and personal laundry service, assistance with dressing and bathing, reminder regarding medication, and assistance with eating, transferring to and from a wheelchair, toileting, etc. The best candidate for assisted living is someone who needs help with daily activities, but doesn’t need ‘round the clock’ skilled nursing care. The ideal facility provides services and personal assistance in a group setting that helps its resident’s lead active, healthy lives. In many cases, assisted living communities offer extensive services for early stage Alzheimer’s disease patients. Private pay rates vary depending on care and services needed. A physician’s approval is required for admission.

Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Communities Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Communities Alzheimer’s is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain, resulting in impaired memory, thinking and behavior. It is only one of several forms of dementia. Alzheimer’s care communities are special units or free-standing communities designed to sensitively care for those with Alzheimer’s or memory related disorders. These communities offer safe and secure residential care for those who need 24-hour assistance. Other senior living environments may be appropriate for residents in early, or even mid stages of the disease. However, unless they have a specialized dementia unit, transfer from another facility will be required as the disease progresses. A family’s private resources or long- term care insurance generally funds Alzheimer’s care communities.

Newly-Approved FDA Drug Treats Prostate Cancer Which Has Spread to Bones

Southern Nevadans and others across the nation who are battling prostate cancer have a new treatment option thanks in part to the tenacity and research led by local medical and radiation oncologists at Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN).

The Food and Drug Administration approved Radium 223 now commercially known as Xofigo earlier this year, which proved effective in patients whose prostate cancer had metastasized to their bones. Xofigo is designed as liquid radiation to attack prostate cancer cells that have grown in patients’ bones. This enables oncologists to reach those spreading cells when surgery or other options have been unsuccessful.

The active ingredient – Radium 223 – targets cancer cells in the bones and leaves unaffected areas untouched and unharmed. This is a breakthrough in treatment options because prostate cancer metastasizes to the bones of nearly 95 percent of all prostate cancer patients.

Medical Oncologist, Nicholas Vogelzang, who has been involved with prostate cancer research for more then 30 years, ensured the clinical research study became available in Nevada. He and Radiation Oncologists, Farzaneh Farzin and Michael 16

J. Anderson, tested the drug and reported multiple benefits to patients.

“During the research study, we witnessed a trifecta of benefits in Xofigo – it reduces pain, improves quality of life and extends the life of patients,” Dr. Vogelzang said. “It also reduces the need for narcotics to control pain, reduces the need for external radiation and helps prevent bone fractures.”

Las Vegas was one of two cities in the United States treating prostate cancer patients during the research study. Others were treated during the research phase in Europe. According to the CCCN oncologists, the drug has few or less severe side effects compared to other treatments.

Many patients reported feeling normal again after receiving Xofigo.

According CCCN, more than 241,000 men are diagnosed annually with prostate cancer and more than 28,000 die from the disease each year. Although this new drug was designed specifically for prostate cancer, Drs. Vogelzang, Farzin and Anderson see the potential for using Xofigo to treat breast cancer and other types of cancer that can spread to the bones. More studies will be required before those possible benefits are known.

Health Shamanic Healing: Nature’s Alternative Healing Profession By: Elena Risto

It is said that Shamanic Healers see with their “heart” to get important healing information for physical, emotional and spiritual problems.

For thousands of years, ancient Shamans were responsible for the general well being of the tribes. Classic Shamans still exist in indigenous cultures. The word Shaman is from the Tungus tribe of Siberia which means “one who sees in the dark”.

Modern day Shamans can be found as healers, doctors, psychotherapists, mystics, storytellers or spiritual guidance counselors for their communities. However, all Shamans have one thing in common... they walk a spiritual path called Shamanism which believes everything that exists is alive and has a spirit. All nature (be it rock, tree, animal, human, earth, air, fire, water, planet, or star, etc.) is interconnected through the great web of life and a transcendent universal energy that is limitless. Illness occurs when we feel separate and out of balance from each other and life. Some Shamans say that we are “asleep” and lost in illusion or a dream.

Shamans perform a variety of ceremonies and rituals that work with nature to restore harmony and balance. This supports the body, mind or spirit that is doing it’s best heal. Many times a Shamanic healer can provide the missing link for someone who has “tried everything”.

It doesn’t replace medical or psychological methods.

It does enhance and become the 3rd side of the healing triangle.

No two Shamans are alike, but, they all use the ritual of Shamanic Journey to go into an altered state of consciousness. It is also described as traveling outside of time and space into hidden realms or non-ordinary reality. This is typically done with the use of a monotonous drumbeat, rattle, chanting or singing.

In this altered state, the shamans interact with helping guiding spirits that surround us all.

They are made of loving transcendent energy that takes the form of a power animal or teacher in human form. Questions are asked during the journey, such as “How can Susan move forward with her life and find peace?” or “What can John do to improve his health?”. The suggestions offered by the Helping Spirits might vary. Suggestions that include employing other rituals such as Soul Retrieval or Extraction; to walking to a tree, placing your back against it’s trunk and letting it carry your worries to Mother Earth. The results can be dramatic and suddenly obvious or slow and deeply moving, like a calm river. Either way, a change can happen in the healing process of the client.

Consider Shamanic Healing as an option if you need more support on your healing path. At the very least you will reduce your stress levels and reconnect with nature in a positive way.

Shamanic Healer & Teacher, Usui Reiki Master, Singer and Sound Healer who lives in the Henderson, NV. She has a private practice and teaches in healing circles in Henderson and Las Vegas on both Classic and Nordic Shamanism.

As an energy healer, she has 30 years combined experience in Shamanic Healing, Polarity Therapy, Reiki, and as Laini Risto Sings: Professional Musician.

Elena has studied for several years with international Shamanic teachers Sandra Ingerman and Betsy Bergstrom; also the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
