Padecimientos comunes en adultos mayores Pt2: Artritis

Anteriormente se había mencionado que es de suma importancia estar atento a las rutinas y hábitos de los adultos mayores para prevenir lesiones y padecimientos, en algunos casos se pueden presentar enfermedades que son inevitables por lo que solo podemos enfocar nuestros esfuerzos en controlar los síntomas, evitar el dolor y mejorar la funcionalidad o evitar que esta se deteriore aún más, por ello en esta ocasión daremos algunas recomendaciones para tratar la artritis. 

La artritis se ocasiona por el deterioro o desgaste del cartílago que protege las articulaciones y evita el roce entre los huesos, proporcionando suavidad a los movimientos. La degradación del cartílago puede hacer que en determinados momentos los huesos entren en contacto ocasionando los síntomas característicos de la artritis: dolor, inflamación, disminución de la capacidad de movimiento de la articulación, enrojecimiento de la zona de la articulación y rigidez al despertar.

Una manera de tratar este padecimiento es la fisioterapia, con ejercicios diarios se puede mejorar la flexibilidad de las articulaciones afectadas y fortalecer los músculos para permitir su movimiento. Los masajes y la hidroterapia también pueden dar buenos resultados.

Otras recomendaciones tales como elegir una dieta que incorpore alimentos ricos en ácidos grasos Omega-3, además de frutas, verduras y que ayude a perder peso ya que la obesidad puede agraviar el padecimiento. También es necesario evitar permanecer mucho tiempo en una misma posición y dormir bien.

Buyers remorse. These previous reviews don’t reflect reality. This is a hospice for people who are comatose or severely limited. The ad for the facility is quite misleading. The building is not in view of the ocean, but isolated on a hill with no other buildings around. The rooms are dark and the gardens are basically a small patio. No one goes outside, and there are no activities for memory care. Physical movement is limited and the food is mediocre hospital food. Meals are served at random. My husband was there two weeks and no matter how much I wrote emails or texts, I got very little response. My husband started slurring during our phone calls and I suspected he was being sedated to keep him docile. They say the staff speaks English, but the only the intake person and one staff member spoke broken English. My husband was isolated and became depressed. I was told we could have a two month trial period, but when I arrived there was a contract for a year and it was in Spanish, so I didn’t know what I was signing. The owner/manager was never seen. I had to fly back down and retrieve my husband after two weeks. I asked to have my deposit returned and was told no. The owner appeared and was condescending and denied my concerns.There was no medical transcripts offered, even though I was told there were doctors monitoring the patients daily. This is a bad place to put your family member. .

We are so blessed to find an amazing home for my parents. They are surrounded by angels. There is nothing to compare the feeling and knowing they are being cared for by such amazing people.

Just took a tour of CasaMar for my mother. I was extremely impressed with how beautiful and clean the house is. Very quiet area and nice ocean view. They offered a lot of different floor plans and the master suite was incredible. Pricing was a lot more affordable than everywhere else we’ve checked in San Diego.
