Using the right criteria, some computer and video games are ideal for improving cognitive ability in older people. Just like the body ages, so does the brain. Video and computer games exercise the brain and can help to decelerate the aging process, and improve senior's cognitive health. Let us see some of the top ten, in no particular order, video and computer games played in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and Okatie, that can keep seniors from risk of cognitive decline.

Providing care to our senior citizens in and around the Okatie area is a rewarding task. Whether working in the field or providing care to a loved one, growing your skills ensures you give the best care. In this blog, we will dive into critical skills to possess and offer some help to develop and grow those skills. 

We welcome the season's heat as we welcome summer here on Hilton Head Island and neighboring areas. While prolonged exposure to heat is unsafe for anyone, seniors are especially vulnerable to heat-related emergencies. Older adults often have health issues that put them at greater risk of hyperthermia, or a dangerously overheated body, including blood vessel problems, diseases of the heart or lungs, and changes in your skin and sweat glands. Some medications complicate the body's response to heat, including diuretics, beta-blockers, and antidepressants. It is critical to discuss your medications with your medical professional. Here, we will talk about heat stroke, how it looks, what to do if you think you have heat-related trouble, and how to avoid it.
