Aging Life Care Managers Assess Safety Risks of Guns in the Home

Leave a comment


In the survey, Aging Life Care Managers were asked if they include questions about firearms when interviewing prospective clients and, if so, how that affected their providing services in the home.
The majority surveyed either ask about a firearm in the house (57.23%) or ask if a client or family member has access to a firearm (32.95%) in their assessments. And if found that a client has a firearm in the house or access to, the following responded:

  • 54.34% require that firearms are securely locked up
  • 8.09% require that firearms be removed
  • 1% decline services if firearms are present

The rest stated that they evaluate safety implications of firearms on a case-by-case basis, dependent on additional factors and circumstances including the client’s cognitive status, mental health, living situation, family dynamics discussions, as well as medications and health diagnosis.

When asked what diagnoses or conditions pose the biggest threats to firearm safety, the survey found dementia, mental health illness of any kind, and depression as the leading concerns. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was also among the top concerns.

“As Aging Life Care Managers, we take a holistic, client-centered approach to care management,” Sansevero says. “This means while we all most likely have common assessment questions for each client, we take the answers and determine plans of care on an individual case-by-case basis.”

The Aging Life Care Association (ALCA) does not take a position on guns or gun ownership. As a professional society, their purpose is to provide education, networking, and professional development to their members.

Shockwave Therapy at Mara’s Med Spa: A Safe and Non-Drug Solution for Men Seeking to Overcome Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – Founder Mara Pinney Launch Game-Changing Protocol with a 76% Success Rate

DALLAS, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Mara Pinney, the visionary founder of Mara’s Med Spa, is spearheading a groundbreaking approach to address the pervasive issue of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Drawing on her extensive experience as a licensed laser technician and medical esthetician, Mara has unveiled a new protocol based on shockwave therapy—a safe, comfortable, and non-drug treatment designed to optimize sexual performance and reverse the effects of ED caused by poor blood flow. Notably, Mara’s proprietary protocol boasts an impressive 76% efficacy rate, offering a beacon of hope to men seeking effective solutions for ED.

ED is a prevalent concern that extends beyond age demographics. While the prevalence tends to increase with age, Mara Pinney emphasizes that ED is not solely an age-related issue. Many men, regardless of age, experience ED at some point in their lives. The impact of ED on men can be profound, affecting their self-esteem, self-confidence, and intimate relationships. Recognizing the importance of prompt intervention, Mara emphasizes the need for addressing ED through lifestyle changes, medical treatments, or counseling to improve both physical and emotional well-being.

Mara’s Med Spa employs its own protocol rooted in shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT). This non-invasive medical treatment utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate and promote the body’s natural healing processes. Widely recognized in various medical fields, including orthopedics, urology, and physical therapy, shockwave therapy has gained recent popularity as an effective treatment option for ED.

Established in 2017 in Dallas, TX, Mara’s Med Spa was founded with the goal of combining time-honored Brazilian disciplines, cutting-edge technologies, and leading scientific methodologies to provide a prestigious and relaxing full-body experience. With over a decade of expertise, Mara Pinney has now developed her unique protocol for treating ED, understanding that it often results from a combination of physical, lifestyle, and psychological factors.

“The safe, comfortable shockwave therapy treatments utilized by Mara’s Med Spa are tailored to optimize sexual performance for men and reverse the effects of ED due to poor blood flow. We acknowledge the multiple causes of ED, and our longstanding shockwave treatment method is proving effective in managing the severe effects of ED on men. We are poised to help men suffering from ED regain confidence and manage its adverse physical, emotional, and psychological effects,” says Mara Pinney, Founder of Mara’s Med Spa.

Mara’s Med Spa stands out in the beauty industry with its personalized services that address the individual concerns of each client. Born and raised in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Mara’s journey to success is an inspiration, marked by resilience and determination. Her spa’s philosophy, rooted in the belief that true beauty stems from within and radiates outward, guides the team to serve every client with care and warmth.

In Mara’s own words, “At Mara’s Med Spa, treatment is not just about surface-level enhancements but about nurturing a sense of confidence that revives one’s soul.”

Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Forced to Drop United Healthcare Due to Low Reimbursement Rates

Leave a comment


Foothills has been recognized as Arizona’s top rated physical therapy provider for multiple years; however, UHC’s low reimbursement rates have forced Foothills to opt out as a network provider to maintain their uncompromising standards in delivering high-quality and affordable patient care.

Foothills is urging its patients to contact United Healthcare and express their concerns about this change. Patients can also contact their employer’s human resources department to ask that they add Foothills Physical Therapy back to their network.

“We are committed to advocating for our patients to have access to the best care possible, regardless of their insurance provider,” said Basten. “Our hope is that United Healthcare will reconsider its position and agree to provide us with fair reimbursement rates. Until then, we will continue to work with our patients to ensure that they have access to the care they need.”

Foothills believes in the power of choice for patients and the right to access the care they need when they need it. The company is committed to standing up for its patients and the integrity of healthcare in the face of profit-driven decisions.

Those impacted can take action by contacting UnitedHealthcare and expressing their concerns about these restrictive policies, and by standing with Foothills through an active petition https://foothillsrehab.com/sign-the-petition/

Patients who are experiencing an impact to their care can also contact their employer’s human resources department to ask that they add Foothills Physical Therapy back to their network.

Loyola’s BSN proposal is recommended for implementation by Maryland Higher Education Commission

Leave a comment


The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) has recommended Loyola’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for implementation.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) has recommended Loyola’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for implementation. This program will be run through a partnership with Mercy Medical Center, which will provide clinical placements at Mercy’s downtown Baltimore campus, in addition to other resources and support.

“This program will be a powerful example of living out our Jesuit, Catholic mission, as we strive to graduate leaders who are capable of meeting the needs of our community,” said Cheryl Moore-Thomas, Ph.D., NCC, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “This affirmation from MHEC is an important milestone in the process—and a critical step as we look ahead to implement a strategy of growing health and STEM programs at Loyola.”

The University, which expects the four-year BSN program to be available for new incoming undergraduates in Fall 2025, still needs approval from the Maryland Board of Nursing. Loyola is preparing to launch a search for a nursing director with the hope of filling that role in the spring.

“Loyola is proud, honored, and grateful to partner with Mercy Medical Center in helping to address Maryland’s ongoing nursing workforce shortage, and we appreciate the support of MHEC in this process,” said Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D., president of Loyola. “As an anchor institution and the Jesuit university in Baltimore, Loyola has long been involved in partnerships that strengthen our city. This new program will help us continue this legacy of investment and collaboration.

Loyola and Mercy have a shared history as faith-based, mission-driven institutions deeply committed to the City of Baltimore. Founded in 1852 by the Society of Jesus, Loyola merged in 1971 with Mount Saint Agnes College, a women’s college founded by the Sisters of Mercy, who also founded Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore in 1874.

While working toward the creation of the BSN program, Loyola has also created a memorandum of understanding to prioritize admission for BSN graduates to Notre Dame of Maryland University graduate programs in nursing and occupational therapy.

“We believe this collaborative relationship with Notre Dame will serve our students and the deep workforce needs in our state,” Moore-Thomas said.

TheraSpecs® Announces Groundbreaking New Product Lines to Tackle Brain Injuries, Epilepsy, and More

Leave a comment


The significant expansion in the company’s catalog includes its original indoor glasses and outdoor sunglasses, both of which elevate the FL-41 tint and deliver lasting relief to customers with migraine, light sensitivity, and other symptoms for over a decade. They’ve been made even better with the addition of premium optical coatings that further reduce scratches, smudges, and glare.

New to the TheraSpecs lineup are lenses that provide additional options for migraine and photophobia relief, as well as address even more issues that are triggered or worsened by light. These include light sensitivity and related symptoms due to brain injury and post-concussion syndrome, seizures triggered by flashing lights, sleep disrupted by blue light, and decreased contrast due to visual issues, plus much more.

TheraSpecs’ seven lens types, are:

  • FL-Pro™, the original indoor lens, offers the strongest protection for artificial lights and digital device screens; helps reduce migraine attacks, headaches, post-concussion symptoms, and photophobia.
  • FL-Blend™ balances protection against screen and other artificial light with a less noticeable color; also helps reduce migraines, concussion symptoms, and light sensitivity.
  • Z-Blue™ protects from flashing lights and repeating patterns to provide relief for photosensitive epilepsy; often preferred by people with brain injuries as well. Available in three lens strengths to accommodate symptom severity.
  • Sleep improves circadian rhythms and enhances the quality of your sleep when worn before bedtime.
  • Flex takes the edge off triggering light with a barely-visible tint; helpful for mild light sensitivity and light enough to use for night driving.
  • Contrast HEV™ filters high-energy visible light to deliver greater contrast and sharpness to your vision.
  • FL-Sun™, the original outdoor lens, is the best sunglasses lens you’ve ever tried.

Most of the lens types now come in multiple strengths to further accommodate the unique needs and symptom severity of customers. Additionally, TheraSpecs offers a wide selection of frames as well as prescription and reader options.

Previously these types of tints were only available through specialty optical sources, difficult to produce accurately, and of varying quality and reliability. Now, TheraSpecs Company has combed through the research to find the best tints for different conditions and situations, and produced high-quality, tested, affordable, reliably therapeutic eyewear that can be conveniently purchased at theraspecs.com.

With these new lens offerings, more people will be able to experience the life-changing impact of TheraSpecs, like Niki, who shared this recently:

“These changed my life the moment I got them! No more daily headaches, no more light sensitivity. I feel like I can be a part of the world now at any time of day, whether indoor or outdoor, using technology, going to music events. These are hands down the best product I have ever invested in and my overall health and well-being has been positively impacted!”
