When Someone Dies
Following the death of a family member, many important details will need attention. A relative, friend or even a stranger is left with the responsibility of accomplishing many tasks in just 72 hours. There are at least 87 decisions, choices and things to do, including: *Securing vital statistics and documents; *Arranging and paying for a funeral service and burial plot; *Notifying the authorities, family and friends. You can take care of many of these items right now and save undue hardship for loved ones tomorrow. Please contact us for more information.
Eat Fresh, Chew Better
Fresh fruits and vegetables return in spring, but struggling to chew them can limit your nutrition. Properly fitting dentures allow you to enjoy a balanced diet, including crisp apples, salads, and seasonal produce. If you find yourself avoiding certain foods, your dentures may need adjustment or replacement. Good chewing supports digestion and overall health. Don’t compromise your nutrition — a denture evaluation can restore comfort and function so you can fully enjoy healthy seasonal foods.
Solutions to Home Ownership
Reverse mortgages can do more than help seniors deal with the rising cost of living. They can also help their children and grandchildren get into the housing market years sooner. One of the biggest barriers for younger people buying their first homes is saving for a down payment. A reverse mortgage can help get them over this hurdle and enter the market at a time when buyers have the advantage. I specialize in working with families to provide intergenerational solutions to home ownership. Contact me for a private family meeting and let me show you some creative solutions.
Combat Seasonal Allergies
May brings high pollen levels that can significantly affect seniors, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue can worsen quickly if not managed. To combat seasonal allergies, seniors should keep windows closed on high pollen days, use air purifiers, shower after outdoor activities, and stay hydrated. Over-the-counter medications may help, but it’s important to monitor their effectiveness. If symptoms persist or worsen, it may be time to have medications re-evaluated by a healthcare provider to ensure proper treatment and avoid interactions with existing prescriptions.

With the uneven terrain and changing elevation, appropriate footwear and gait mechanics are most important to avoid injury. Before starting your springtime activities, visit your local pedorthist for a biomechanical assessment to ensure you are best prepared for an adventurous season. Custom foot orthotics, compression socks, braces, and walking poles are all tools that may support your days of hiking. Book an assessment today!

Ask The Expert
Q: How can I make my vision better for driving at night?
A: Night driving is a common source of anxiety for many people, no matter how good or bad their vision is! Keep your windshield, wipers, mirrors and headlights clean and maintained (the topic of headlights themselves would be a bit long for this column). Reduce sources of distracting light from within your vehicle. Don’t stare at oncoming headlights. And get your vision in focus with non-glare prescription lenses if you need them! Consider driving less at night if you know you’re having difficulty. If you haven’t had your eyes checked in a while, come see us at Mosaic!
