Program
“Friendly Caregivers”
Ernie introduced Ms. Karen Woodrum representing the Friendly Caregivers, Morehead City, North Carolina. Ms. Woodrum is a Registered Nurse and has worked as the Nurse Supervisor for more than 5 years. She gave us a most interesting and informative presentation on home care. She stated that the Baby Boomers will be turning 65 years old next year, thus doubling the U.S. population age 65 and over. Healthcare will be stretched and making home care a viable solution to this problem. Ms. Woodrum also stated that everyone will eventually need homecare and nursing homes are over-staffed and overworked and most seniors fight going to a nursing home. Independence is a hard to lose and most seniors do not want to be dependant on someone. Ms. Woodrum introduced us to “Aging in Place,” or to age in location or Nurse Care. This type of assistance will have the senior stay at his own home, but have someone take the individual to doctor appointments, take notes and administer medications and even make meals. A hearty thanks to Ms. Woodrum on this great topic and vast information that was passed. |
