A message from Dr. Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard

For the first time in its history, Canada currently has more adults over the age of 65 than youth under the age of 15. Known as population aging, the next 30 years will see a shift where there are continually more older adults than younger adults. In New Brunswick, we currently have close to 22 % of the population over the age of 65, the highest proportion of older adults in Canada.

The Nursing Home Without Walls project is the result of an outstanding collaboration between the Westford Nursing Home and myself at the Université de Moncton. Together, we received funding from an anonymous donor as well as the Healthy Seniors Pilot Project funded through the Provincial Government in partnership with the Public Health Agency of Canada. With the goal of keeping older adults aging in place, providing information on services available to you is an important first step to keeping you informed in your health decisions. Along with the Seniors’ Navigator and the Seniors’ Navigator Assistant, the project has flourished beyond our expectations and I hope you have benefited from these services.

I hope that you will find this guide useful and informative and that it will help you stay well!

Dr. Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard Professor – Université de Moncton

Caregivers’ Guide

The Caregivers’ Guide contains practical information for caregivers of older adults. More than eight million Canadians are family caregivers. They are individuals (family members, neighbours, friends, and other significant people) who take on the caring role to support someone as he or she ages. With an aging population, it is no longer a question about if someone will assume the role of caregiving, rather it is when. Today, New Brunswickers are living longer and with fewer health issues than in the past; however, most seniors continues to be challenged by at least one chronic disease or condition. This guide provides information to individuals who are now, or anticipate becoming family caregivers. It provides advice about various aspects of caregiving as well as practical ways caregivers can adapt their lifestyles and living environments to ensure a better quality of life for themselves and the senior for whom they are caring https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/social_development/ seniors/content/caregivers_guide.html

Food Safety for Adults Ages 60 and Over

WHAT IS FOOD POISONING? Food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness or food-related illness) is caused by eating food that has been contaminated by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Food can become contaminated by these microorganisms at any time before you eat it, including at home during: handling, storing, and cooking.

Health Canada has published a great booklet called “Safe Food Handling for adults ages 60 and over”. You can visit their website and download a PDF version or order a paper copy.

Plan Your Future Today - Live the Life You Want Tomorrow

If you are like many Canadians, you want to Age in Place in your own home and community. Aging in place means having the health and social supports and services you need to live safely and independently in your home or your community for as long as you wish and are able. The earlier you start planning, the more prepared you will be to respond to changes that may occur as you age such as changes in your health, mobility or social connections. To successfully plan, you need to start thinking about how you want to live as you age and what steps you need to take to achieve that lifestyle. When planning, you should also consider the unexpected. This includes planning for what you would do if you had a sudden onset of a chronic illness developed a disability or had a change in resources.

For more information on Aging in Place, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/corporate/ seniors/forum/aging.html

Powers of Attorney

Creating a power of attorney is one way that individuals can plan for the future. To help the public explore their options, the Public Legal Education and Information Service of New Brunswick (PLEIS-NB) has published the “Powers of Attorney” booklet. The booklet describes the different kinds of powers of attorney, explains how to set them up and explores some advantages of creating powers of attorney to deal with property and financial matters and/or personal care.

For more information on Powers of Attorney, please contact Nursing Homes Without Walls or The Public Legal Education and Information Service (PLEIS-NB) at: http://www.legal-info-legale.nb.ca/

Preventing Falls in and Around Your Home

Anyone can fall. But as we age, our risk of falling becomes greater. That’s the bad news. The good news is that falls can be prevented. The first step to avoiding falls is to understand what causes them. For example, poor balance, decreased muscle, and bone strength, reduced vision or hearing, and unsafe conditions in and around your home can increase your chance of falling. Staying safe and on your feet is a matter of taking some steps to protect yourself.
