Exercising With Chronic Conditions

August 17, 2022 By village-belmar

Almost anyone, at any age, can do some type of physical activity. You can still exercise even if you have a health condition like heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, high blood pressure, or diabetes. In fact, physical activity may help. For most older adults, physical activities like brisk walking, riding a bike, swimming, weightlifting, and gardening are safe, especially if you build up slowly. You may want to talk with your doctor about how your health condition might affect your ability to be active.

Staying physically active: Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

Researchers are assessing the benefit of exercise to delay mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults and to improve brain function in older adults who may be at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. Older adults with MCI may be able to safely do more vigorous forms of exercise, similar to older adults without MCI, provided there are no other underlying health concerns.

Being active and getting exercise may help people with Alzheimer’s or another dementia feel better and can help them maintain a healthy weight and have regular toilet and sleep habits. If you are a caregiver, you can exercise together to make it more fun.

To learn about exercising with other conditions, such as arthritis, COPD, diabetes, heart health, osteoporosis and chronic pain, from the National Institute on Aging, CLICK HERE.

COVID-19 Update – July 31, 2022

July 31, 2022 By village-belmar

July 31, 2022 

Dear Village at Belmar Community, 

I am pleased to share with you that again we had zero COVID-19 positive residents and associates from our testing on Thursday. We will continue to test twice this coming week Monday and Thursday. Thank you for your patience in this process. 

There is another variation of the COVID virus that is even more transmissible and is rapidly spreading across the Denver area. For this reason, we need to maintain vigilance to prevent the spread of the virus. Please do not visit if you are not feeling well for any reason. If you are aware of being exposed, please do not visit for 10 days after your exposure. 

All residents need to continue to wear a mask when out of their apartment. This is very important. 

Any residents that are not up to date with their vaccination and boosters we must rapid test daily. Residents that are not up to date must quarantine for 8 days if they leave the community for more than 24 hours. These restrictions may be motivation for many to become up to date which is easily done. Please reach out to me or Angela if you want to confirm whether you are up to date or if you have any questions. We can also assist you in finding a location to receive a booster if needed. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please reach out to me, Beth Williams, Interim Executive Director, at 303-351-5455 or Beth@ascentlc.com. 

Warm Regards, 

Beth Williams, Interim Executive Director

Tips for Caring with Someone with a Personality Disorder

July 21, 2022 By village-belmar

“My mom has narcissistic personality disorder,” one of my psychotherapy clients said to me. “She is unaware of my feelings as her caregiver.” “You wouldn’t believe the tantrums my mother throws when she doesn’t get her way,” said another. “I think she has borderline personality disorder.” “My father doesn’t feel guilty about hurting anyone’s feelings because of his antisocial personality,” said a third.

It sounded a little odd to hear people who aren’t clinical professionals applying mental health diagnoses to their family members, but psychiatric and psychological terms have always found their way into regular jargon. Thirty years ago, I heard psychotherapy clients say they were afraid they were “codependent” because they relied too much on others’ approval to feel good about themselves. Ten years ago, clients asked me if they were “bipolar” because they reacted to caregiving stressors with up-and-down moods. Nowadays I’m hearing more references to “personality disorders” when describing some care receivers.

I don’t think this is being disrespectful. Caregivers have always struggled to understand why some family members they are caring for are argumentative, demanding or all-around difficult. It is sometimes easier to think of those relatives as having some condition beyond their control that affects their behavior rather than seeing them as personally hostile to the caregiver. “My mother doesn’t mean to ignore my needs,” a caregiver son or daughter might say, “but her narcissism prevents her from understanding what I’m going through.” That’s also a way for caregivers to protect themselves from disappointment by lowering their expectations that care receivers might change.

To better understand personality disorders, and to learn how caregivers can best work with a care receiver who has one, from AARP, CLICK HERE.
