LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Dear Valued Readers,

Welcome to the 16th edition of the Seniors Blue Book. With each passing edition the Seniors Blue Book continues to grow in size, accessibility, and information. I want to offer you my heart felt thanks for continuing to turn to and trust the Seniors Blue Book as your primary go to source for anything and everything that is related to seniors, caregivers and their well being.

It is our mission to provide you with all possible options and opportunities that are available in an easy to read format. The guide is broken down into three main sections; Community Resources and Services, Home Health Care & Non-Medical Home Care Agencies and Senior Housing. We include definitions of these services and indicate which companies offer these in the appropriate Home Health and Housing Grids.

We continue to offer the Solutions for Seniors resource help line at 973-560-0064 for those that need help navigating the information within our publication and website and to offer FREE assistance to those that wish to ask our for our information assistance.

SeniorsBlueBook.com is our dynamic website that will not only offer all of the information listed in the Seniors Blue Book, but empower the viewer to find local events and activities and post their own events and activities. The community calendars will be interactive and I am expecting avid participation from both seniors and their providers. SeniorsBlueBook.com will also be offering senior professionals their own senior calendar for network ing opportunities, promotion of their own events and job opportunities. The community calendars are only a smidgen of the new information that will be available on SeniorsBlueBook.com. Please log on and check it out for yourself. I promise that you will bookmark SeniorsBlueBook.com and come back again and again. Thank you for your continued support and give me a call or an e-mail if you have any suggestions or comments that will further enhance the Seniors Blue Book.

Sincerely,

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS

A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device designed to let you summon help in an emergency. A PERS has three components: a small radio transmitter (a help button carried or worn by the user); a console connected to the user’s telephone; and an emergency response center that monitors calls. When emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is needed, the PERS user presses the transmitter’s help button. It sends a radio signal to the console. The console automatically dials an emergency response center where the caller is identified. The center will try to determine the nature of the emergency. If the center cannot contact you or determine whether an emergency exists, it will alert emergency service providers to go to your home.

Geriatric Medicine A One-Stop Care Solution for your Aging Parent

“Aging in place is the feeling of being at home – it’s a sense of stability, comfort and familiarity, independence and autonomy,” explains Abhijit Chatterjee, MD, a geriatrician (physi cian specializing in the medical care of the elderly) with the James and Sharon Maida Geriatrics Institute at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, Lakewood. “A large part of this independence is the structure of resources, such as a strong healthcare team, family structure, and inclusion of that loved one to make their own choices, when possible.”The geriatric specialists at Monmouth Medical Center (Long Branch) and the James and Sharon Maida Geriatrics Institute at Mon mouth Medical Center Southern Campus (Lakewood) know it’s impor tant to focus on how older adults can thrive while aging in their communi ties and living independently for as long as possible.

“Coordinating geriatric care for an aging parent or loved one may help to make life easier and more convenient for both you and them,” Dr. Chatterjee says. “We know it’s important to maintain that connection to a team who specializes in the needs of older adults, through building relation-

ships and addressing all of your loved ones’ medical needs in one conve-

“We provide consultative ser vices as well as primary care for older adults, explains Sana Riaz, MD, geriatrician at Monmouth Medical Center’s Geriatric Health Center. “We work with families and the patient to manage chronic health challenges, and design care plans that include medication management and supportive counseling for emotional challenges”

Our multidisciplinary team includes: geriatric certified nurses and nurse practitioners, social work ers, case managers, pharmacists, health educators and rehabilitation therapists to help patients navigate through the healthcare system. Often, if testing is required after a visit with the geriatric physician, arrangements can be made in the same visit. Trans portation may also be provided.

With the expert treatment available at both our Long Branch and Lake wood medical centers, older adults can live their fullest lives possible.
