A Tutorial to make caring for our older loved ones As Simple As Possible

 

My name is Dr. Mark E. Zweben.  I am a board certified cardiologist experience on a daily basis in caring for patients in their later years and as I peruse the web for medical information for myself or my patients, I notice that many websites are packed with information a lot of which is either confusing or extraneous to my needs.  It can be difficult and frustrating to find what I want. My hope is that you find what you need to know using this website as a guide.  Care of the elderly can be very complicated and thus confusing and bewildering, only adding to stress during a potentially stressful time of life.  Being fully informed can lessen that stress and help the healing process.  Thus, I have created this website as an informational guide in a was that is easier to read and to understand.

You or someone you love has been diagnosed with an illness or has been hospitalized and now requires help in ways you could never imagined or managed before.  Independence that has been enjoyed for years can be lost extremely quickly by one single illness or hospitalization that for an older person is not a simple matter of taking a short course of medication and quickly recovering to the previous baseline of excellent health.  Unfortunately, for people usually older than 70 but even younger, metabolism has already slowed significantly and the ability to recuperate from even simple injuries or infections can be a prolonged ordeal that may leave one worse off than before.  Even a simple health issue like a cold or muscle strain can usurp one’s energy and capacity to maintain your independence and suddenly simple issues become complicated and a source of severe stress.


 


I present to you this website to help provide care to a senior ASAP, as simply as possible by helping to organize all of the issues that were once take for granted and are now more at hand. The information found in this website should be considered an outline from which further information can be obtained from a trusted expert in the associated fields shown to the left of the page.  Having the right information allows one to make the right decisions quickly, which can help the healing process.


Become informed and organized so health care can be provided ASAP, as simply and as soon as possible.
