Day Trips for Caregivers - Visiting Nurse Service of New York: Day Trips for Caregivers
Nature Getaways within 2 Hours of NYC
People who spend time outdoors, particularly around trees and in gardens, have better physical and mental health, and the benefits can be immediate. One recent study at Stanford University found that volunteers who walked in a park-like section of the university’s campus were less anxious, less likely to dwell on negative things, and performed better on short-term memory tests than those who walked near a highway.
Arrange for a day of respite care and plan your escape! Here are day trips in the Hudson Valley, on Long Island, and in New Jersey that can help caregivers recharge. If you can only steal a few hours, we’ve also included ideas for NYC.

Hospice is likely to be the most important health care decision we make. by Joy Loverde
Hospice: I had no idea | Eldercare Blog: Families have a choice in hospice programs.
Hospice is likely to be the most important health care decision we make. For a long time, we could assume that every hospice provided high-quality care. That assumption is no longer safe. Families must shop around. To start the process, request a home visit for patient assessment and a customized Q & A. How receptive a hospice is to the following questions is an indicator of the quality of their program:
What do others say about your organization? Get references.
How long has the hospice been in operation?
Is the hospice Medicare-certified?
What is the expectation regarding the family’s role in caregiving?
Is there anything currently being done for the patient that you would not do?
(Make a list of specific family needs.) How will you address these needs?
What extra services are offered?
Is your availability 24/7?
How rapid is crisis response?
Do patients ever get transferred to inpatient care? Under what circumstances? And where do they go?
Is family respite care available? What kind? Under what circumstances?
Are your MDs/RNs certified in palliative care?
How are family complaints handled?
What kind of emotional support do you provide – now and after?

The Top Two Misconceptions about ADA Compliance at Your Senior Community | Senior Housing Forum
The Top Two Misconceptions about ADA Compliance at Your Senior Community | Senior Housing Forum: “But our resident units are accessible.”
While your resident units are accessible, you must remember that ADA accessibility is also about accommodating the general public and your employees.
This means all public accommodations at your senior care community, inside and out, should be in compliance.
“What often gets reported are violations that occur outside of the resident dwelling units, such as the lobby, public restrooms or parking lots,” said Greg. “Many senior care providers often forget that these areas need to be compliant, and since they have never received a complaint or violation, they continue to operate under the assumption that nothing needs to be changed.”
And don’t forget, you should also be cognizant of your employees’ work areas, such as the staff break rooms and bathrooms, which also need to be accessible.
