Huntingdon Valley Home Care would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a very important day of recognition for the tens of millions of Americans, who selflessly give their time to care for those who are ill, disabled, or elderly. Many individuals and organizations have declared a care giver recognition day on many different dates. The most common of them are November 13, and March 3. This day of recognition is for both paid and unpaid care givers. We believe unpaid care givers, deserve even more special recognition. They silently go abo...ut the task of supporting someone in need, most often a family member. They give their time freely, and often spend their own money in doing so. It can be a thankless task without even a thanks from the person being cared for or other relatives who find countless reasons not to help. Some interesting statistics: 29% of the U.S. population, some 65 million Americans are care givers in some way. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, over 40 million Americans, age 15 or older, provide unpaid care to the elderly alone.

Yom Kippur "In a world that encourages us to numb ourselves to pain and distract ourselves from chaos, Yom Kippur is a necessary reminder us of our humanity our rawness and our destiny, as Jews, to do what’s right, especially when we don’t want to." May you and your loved ones be sealed in the book of life for a year filled with much joy, love, happiness and blessings. B''H.... G'mar Chatima Tovah

Medic Alert Awareness Month August is Medic Alert Awareness Month, dedicated toward educating the public on the needs and uses of Medic Alert ID’s. For more than 50 years, the Medic Alert foundation has worked to protect the health of its members all over the world. The foundation ensures that their members receive timely medical treatment when an emergency occurs. Though it has been around for a long time, many don’t know what Medic Alert ID’s are for. Unless you or a family... member wear one of these identification bracelets or necklaces, you are likely to remain in the dark about the reason that so many people use them. What is a Medic Alert ID used for? To provide quick recognition of any medical conditions you may have. This includes allergies, medications you take and treatments that you have agreed to. Your ID is there if you are unresponsive. Medical personnel will be able to access your information quickly. Medic Alert ID’s can help prevent errors in the case of an emergency. If there are certain medications you can’t take, responding personnel will know this. For anyone with a chronic or disabling medical condition, a Medic Alert ID can be a lifesaver. Should you be in an accident or have a medical emergency while out in public, personnel will be immediately available. Take-Aways From Raising Awareness About MedicAlert ID’s As you can see, MedicAlert medical IDs can be a life-saver, and it is vital for people who have life-threatening or potentially dangerous medical conditions that need immediate medical care. It has helped patients and their loved ones cope with the situations they are in and save lives in an emergency situation. Additionally: Medical alert systems help protect senior health while promoting peace of mind for both seniors and their families. There are many different kinds of medical alert systems; so it’s important to do your research before committing to a device or plan. Medical alert systems are also a useful way to help older adults maintain their dignity and independence. Go the nearest participating organization nearest you and take part in their awareness campaigns. Share information about Medic Alert medical ID and share your knowledge with your family member and friends. Medic Alert began more than 50 years ago in Turlock, California. Dr. Marion Collins and his family invested the time and money to begin providing life saving services to those throughout the world. About 1 in 5 Americans have diabetes and more than 15 million have food allergies. Many of those with these conditions wear Medic Alert ID’s. The ID’s are also worn by thousands more with seizure disorders, impaired eyesight, hearing loss and heart disease. August brings the importance of these Medical Alert ID’s to the forefront so now is an ideal time to learn and pass on this knowledge to others!
