A new Australian-Israeli collaborative study suggests that yoga may help senior people reduce insomnia. The participants in the study of 74 people between the ages of 60 and 87, did physical and meditative yoga as a daily home practice twice a week over 12 weeks.

When it is time for an elderly person to enter a nursing home, many relatives experience guilt, grief and a sense of loss. Caring for someone can be exhausting, especially when that person has challenging behaviours such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. If the disease gets worse over time, it is likely that they will have to be moved into residential aged care. Often the person who has been caring for that person (often a close family member) can feel guilt and grief over making this decision.
Placing someone in aged care is a landmine of financial decisions, strange acronyms and unfamiliar information which can be confusing (especially when decisions need to be made quickly).Whether you need a financial planner or not depends on individual circumstances, but you may be thinking of using a financial planner when moving into residential aged care if you need guidance on issues such as daily care fees for residential aged care, whether you should sell the family home or rent it out and many other financial factors.
