Elder Care Basics | Free Press Release

Posted on 21 June 2012. Tags: garage, garage door, garage repair

People in the past didn?t have to worry about elder care since there was usually someone in the family able to care for them. Will I have the time and energy to care for them myself or will they need in-home care services? It could be very time-consuming for you to try to take care of your elderly loved ones yourself.

You won?t have an easy time discussing your options with your older parents, but it?s best to discuss your options before the time comes when you?ll really need to. Once cooking their own meals or even getting dressed becomes too difficult for your loved ones, then senior care services may need to be called in.

You may want to let your loved one come live with you. However, because most adults have to work full-time jobs to support their families, this option is not the most ideal situation. In addition, most seniors want to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes. If your loved one is somewhat capable of self-care, then they may only need a home care service on a part-time basis instead of having one come in for eight or more hours each day. It?s best to research as many different companies as you can find, so you?ll be in a good position to make the best possible decision.

Assisted Living

For seniors who are still mobile and somewhat good at taking care of themselves, assisted living is a great option. An Assisted Living community combines housing, support services and health care to assist their aging tenants. Assisted Living residents have as much freedom as they like while still having access to support services whenever they need. For seniors who suffer from more major health conditions that require more detailed care, assisted living isn?t the best option.

Nursing Homes or Skilled Nursing Facilities

The professionals at nursing homes would be able to meet your senior?s needs much better if they suffered from more serious conditions. These communities provide all the same personal care services of an Assisted Living Facility with the addition of 24-hour nursing care. People living in nursing homes don?t have nearly as much freedom and usually have to share a room with other people. Nursing Home Care tends to be more expensive than other facilities due to the volume of personnel and expensive medical equipment required to meet patient?s medical needs.

Hands-on: Maingear Shift running Saitek flight-simulation hardware (video)

Custom PC builder Maingear had something pretty nifty up its sleeve at Pepcom tonight: versions of its desktops configured to run Saitek's flight-simulation hardware -- in this case, with a full cockpit setup. In partnership with Mad Catz, the company developed configurations of its Potenza, F131 and Shift desktops optimized to work with the Saitek line of flight-sim systems.

Tonight we saw the Shift paired with some pretty heavy-duty hardware: we're talking 18 USB connections for the full Saitek cockpit. Maingear's pro-certified system packs a Core i7 CPU clocked at up to 3.9GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics (with four GPUs), and with an experienced pilot behind the wheel, that translated into a smooth landing in Flight Simulator X. Maingear says the whole setup -- hardware controls plus the Shift desktop -- will go for $5,500 starting tomorrow. That's the top-of-the-line configuration, mind you; if your piloting aspirations are more modest, you could opt for the more affordable Potenza, which starts at $1,000. Check out a video demo below.

Dad's brains mean more to his son's success than his money: Study

ScienceDaily (June 21, 2012) ? Sons of fathers with high incomes tend to end up with higher than average incomes themselves, but new research shows that it's not just dad's money that helps a son on his way.

According to a study recently published in the Journal of Political Economy, human capital endowments passed from father to son -- perhaps in the form of smarts, advice, work ethic, or some other intangible -- could be more important to a son's success than the size of dad's paycheck.

"We know there's a correlation between fathers' income and sons'." said David Sims, an economics professor at Brigham Young University and one of the study's authors. "What's gotten less attention is the mechanism. We wanted to see if the intergenerational income correlation is due to money -- what we can buy for our kids -- or if human capital attributes passed from father to son play a role as well."

The problem is that separating the two inputs is tricky. On average, fathers with higher human capital endowments also tend to have higher incomes, so it's hard to tell which factor is doing what. Sims and his colleagues used a statistical model and a rich dataset to try to disentangle the two.

The authors' methodology builds on the following thought experiment. Take two smart, similarly skilled and educated fathers. Say one lived in a town with a robust labor market and he had a big salary. The other father wasn't so lucky. He lived in a town with a depressed labor market, and had much lower earnings despite his comparable human capital. If money is the only thing that matters in the intergenerational transfer of income, then we'd expect that the son of the lucky father would end up with a higher income than the son of the unlucky father. However, if human capital matters, the two sons may end up with more similar incomes.

To test this idea, the researchers used remarkably detailed government administrative data on a large sample of Swedish fathers with sons born between 1950 and 1965. The data included salary information for fathers and sons as well as clues about fathers' human capital: education levels and the nature of their occupations. Fathers with more education or those who work in jobs that require specialized skills are considered to have higher human capital endowments that could be passed to sons.

First, Sims and his colleagues looked for a raw correlation between fathers' incomes and their sons', which, as expected, was quite strong. Then they employed a statistical methodology to isolate differences in fathers' income due to something other than human capital, like in the example of similar fathers who worked in differing labor market conditions. If the income correlation weakens for fathers and sons in these types of situations, the researchers could conclude that money isn't the only thing that matters.

And that's exactly what the study found. Income differences not related to a father's human capital were weaker predictors of a son's income. In other words, human capital matters.

"We can conclude that, for the men in our dataset, differing human capital endowments passed from father to son account for about two-thirds of the overall intergenerational income relationship," Sims said. "We don't offer a final answer here, but we do offer some boundary conditions and present a methodology that could help unravel the question."
