Senior Services for the Financially Challenged by Davida Siwisa James Pdf

"Senior Services for the Financially Challenged" is a gem of a book that proves big things come in small packages. It provides valuable information for low-income seniors, their families and caregivers about the multitude of free social services available to help them live with more dignity. The material the author shares is totally public, but could take years of frustrating wrong turns to find out about on your own. This book is your shortcut to the questions you may not have known to ask-and it gives you the answers. How many people know that Medicaid can help pay the greater portion of Assisted Living Facility fees in five-star residential care centers? The author walks you through all the steps on how to apply for the program. If you are caring for a senior on Medicaid, you could be paid for services you may be providing for free out of the goodness of your heart. Ms. James has woven vital, often overlooked information about services available for low-income seniors, while recounting her journey caring for her father as he phased from dementia to Alzheimer's. Most books that touch upon these subjects are too clinical and detached. Others want to sugar coat the reality of caring for an aging, sick loved one. Not so here where the author shares some brutal truths to consider about the decision to become a caregiver for an elderly person. "This book will be an extremely helpful guide for families and/or their caregivers to help them navigate not just through Medicare and Medicaid, but so many social service programs for low-to-middle income seniors," said Colleen Anderson, retired Statewide Program Administrator for California Community Care Licensing, the state agency that licenses residential care facilities for the elderly. "The author has combined a wealth of factual information to help seniors live a better quality of life, along with personal anecdotes while caring for her ailing father." Ms. Anderson is the CEO of the California Institute of Health and Social Services, Inc. in Los Angeles. Finally there is a book that focuses on providing details on accessing long term residential care to an underserved population-elderly people with limited financial resources.

Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill by Davida Siwisa James Pdf

Explores four centuries of colonization, land divisions, and urban development around this historic landmark neighborhood in West Harlem It was the neighborhood where Alexander Hamilton built his country home, George Gershwin wrote his first hit, a young Norman Rockwell discovered he liked to draw, and Ralph Ellison wrote Invisible Man. Through words and pictures, Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill traces the transition of this picturesque section of Harlem from lush farmland in the early 1600s to its modern-day growth as a unique Manhattan neighborhood highlighted by stunning architecture, Harlem Renaissance gatherings, and the famous residents who called it home. Stretching from approximately 135th Street and Edgecombe Avenue to around 165th, all the way to the Hudson River, this small section in the Heights of West Harlem is home to so many significant events, so many extraordinary people, and so much of New York’s most stunning architecture, it’s hard to believe one place could contain all that majesty. Author Davida Siwisa James brings to compelling literary life the unique residents and dwelling places of this Harlem neighborhood that stands at the heart of the country’s founding. Here she uncovers the long-lost history of the transitions to Hamilton Grange in the aftermath of Alexander Hamilton’s death and the building boom from about 1885 to 1930 that made it one of Manhattan’s most historic and architecturally desirable neighborhoods, now and a century ago. The book also shares the story of the La Guardia High School of Music & Art, one of the first in the nation to focus on arts and music. The author chronicles the history of the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest surviving residence and famously known as George Washington’s headquarters at the start of the American Revolution. By telling the history of its vibrant people and the beautiful architecture of this lovely, well-maintained historic landmark neighborhood, James also dispels the misconception that Harlem was primarily a ghetto wasteland. The book also touches upon The Great Migration of Blacks leaving the South who landed in Harlem, helping it become the mecca for African Americans, including such Harlem Renaissance artists and luminaries as Thurgood Marshall, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Mary Lou Williams, Paul Robeson, and W. E. B. Du Bois.

Families Caring for an Aging America by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on Family Caregiving for Older Adults Pdf

Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
