Technology is a great resource for caregivers and seniors, especially due to the percentage of adult children caregiving from a distance. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 18 million Americans provide care to aging parents and other relatives, with 15% of these caregivers living at a distance to their loved ones. With all the difficulties caregivers face, meeting the challenges of long-distance caregiving can be overwhelming. Presbyterian Senior Living wants to help alleviate these challenges and bridge the gap between caregiver, caregivee, and how society views aging. One way we are doing this is through the use of technology.

As we enter the season of giving thanks, many of us are disposing of pumpkins that we carved for jack-o-lanterns or placed on our porch to add a splash of color. More of us will be ending our traditional Thanksgiving feast with a delicious slice of pumpkin pie. While I am a big fan of that sugary treat, there is much more to thank nature for in the pumpkin.
