Home Care Assistance Publishes “The Senior Sleep Solution: A Guide to Improving Sleep in Later Life”
Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) August 09, 2013 -- Home Care Assistance of Scottsdale, a leading provider of in-home care in Arizona, proudly announces the release of its newest book, The Senior Sleep Solution: A Guide to Improving Sleep Later in Life. Sleeping well is important to physical and mental wellbeing at every age. Older adults who don’t sleep well are more likely to suffer from depression, attention and memory problems, excessive daytime sleepiness and nighttime falls. Their caregivers are also at a higher risk for experiencing sleep problems. As adults age, sleep patterns may change—older adults tend to have more difficulty falling and staying asleep than they did in their younger years. The prevalence of many sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, also tends to increase with age. The Senior Sleep Solution explores some common causes of chronic sleep disturbance among seniors and provides guidance for older adults and their loved ones to re-establish and maintain a restful sleep pattern, and in doing so, improve overall quality of life.
“It is a common misconception that we need less sleep or lower quality sleep as we age,” said Ted Holmgren, Owner of Home Care Assistance of Scottsdale. “We recognize the negative impact changes in sleep patterns can have not only on older adults themselves but also on their loved ones and caregivers. We are confident that The Senior Sleep Solution will provide relief for these individuals.”
This book is the latest in the Home Care Assistance award-winning Healthy Longevity Book Series, designed to address the various challenges facing the aging population and provide well-researched advice to ensure healthy and successful aging at home. Topics covered in previous books include scientifically-based lifestyle choices to promote healthy longevity, best practices for providing quality care for an aging loved one in the home, hospital discharge and post-hospitalization care at home, understanding how the five senses evolve as we age and adopting a multi-faceted approach to dementia care.
The Senior Sleep Solution is available on Amazon.com and at the Scottsdale office located at 9301 E. Shea Blvd., Suite 112. For more information about Home Care Assistance and the company’s expertly trained caregivers, please visit http://www.HomeCareAssistanceScottsdale.com or call 480-499-4944.
