Canadian Senior Consumer Safety

The state of medical technology has never been more advanced. Every day scientists are dreaming up new medical devices that change the world in which we live. These medical devices prolong lifespans, improve the quality of patients’ lives and help to treat conditions that were once considered untreatable. However, there is a downside to all of this seemingly wonderful medical technology. As amazing as much of it is, there are some medical devices that can actually harm patients. When scientists and engineers release medical devices that are used to treat seniors, not all of them have all of the bugs worked out. These glitches in medical devices can cause a lot of harm to unwary seniors who have them implanted in their bodies. Here is a look at some of the most dangerous medical devices that seniors should be wary of. Knee and Hip Implants As seniors age, they often have to deal with problems with their joints.

Home care opens door to career possibilities; Statistics show increasing need for personal support workers

Kerry Harrison divides her work week between two elderly Toronto women. She spends four weekday mornings in one woman's home, and three weekday evenings and Sunday mornings in the other's. Both women are in the early stages of dementia, and Harrison helps them bathe, prepares meals, does light housework and spends plenty of time chatting and doing crossword puzzles with them. "It doesn't seem like work," says Harrison, 45, who receives $20 an hour for her services. "I feel like I'm being paid to hang out with people I like." Harrison is a personal support worker (PSW), a career that will see an increase in demand in coming years as Canada's population ages. After many years of working as a nanny, she completed George Brown College's personal support worker program last spring. The two-semester, 700-hour program trains students for basic front-line health care work in hospitals, homes for the elderly, group homes, hospices and as support workers in private homes. Tuition f…

CENSUS figures show many more Canadians living into advanced old age

Better aging with chemistry Social chemistry, that is. As census figures show many more Canadians living into advanced old age, 'co-housing' offers seniors a way to extend their independence by sharing burdens. Erin Anderssen reports on Saskatoon's new Wolf Willow condo development [Our parents faced] nursing homes and wrenching demands on all sides. We hope that our senior years might be a little more graceful. When they move in together this summer, the residents of Wolf Willow plan to share cars and weekly dinners. They will walk to the theatre together and to the farmers' market on Saturdays and, perhaps, start their own yoga class in the courtyard. If someone falls and breaks a hip, there's a guest room for a caregiver, and a shower that fits a wheelchair. They will bring meals to each other during illness, and collect mail when anyone's away. In the evenings, there will be jam sessions in the music room. The 36 soon-to-be residents of this Saskatoon residence r…

Retirement Homes Licence fee called ‘tax on seniors’

SARNIA -- Retirement home residents will take a hit in the wallet when a new licensing system takes effect, warns a Sarniabased retirement living manager. The new Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA) will require all Ontario retirement homes to apply for a licence to operate. About 40,000 Ontario seniors live in 700 retirement homes. Under the Retirement Homes Act, the authority will ensure facilities meet standards in cleanliness, food preparation, and emergency plans. All retirement home staff are also expected to be trained on preventing abuse and neglect, along with protection for whistle-blowers. But retirement homes will have to pony up licensing fees. Homes with fewer than 20 suites will pay an $800 application fee to be licensed. All other homes will pay $1,200. Once approved, homes will pay an annual licensing fee to the RHRA. "In effect it's a tax on seniors," said Clarke Boddy, retirement living division manager of Steeves & Rozema Group. "The re…
