(NEWSCHANNEL 3) Losing a spouse can be one of the most painful experiences anyone will ever go through. Newschannel 3 recently talked to one woman who volunteered her way through the healing process. I've known for quite some time that my goal in life is to help others, said Shirley Lyke. For six hours a week Lyke volunteers, not because she needs to, but because she wants to. Kept me week to week, knowing I'm going to be here, said Lyke. Literally, it's changed my life. Seven years ago another life-changing moment led Lyke to volunteer. She lost her husband, George, to colon cancer. During his last days, George received care from the Borgess Visiting Nurse program. It's a very wonderful, kind, a soft program, said Lyke. As one of 70 volunteers, Lyke delivers medicine, files paperwork, and offers advice to those who are in the shoes she was once in, widowed for the first time. It's truly value added because it assists our staff to do our jobs better, said Linda Young of Borgess...

At close to 400 pounds the hardest thing to do is sustain any type of effort of a diet. The motivation isn't there to attempt to start it. Usually if you don't have a consistent weight loss over a period of time, you give up. The diet I had the some success with was basically just trying to eat right and exercise. You'll have some success, you'll lose 25, 30 pounds and then you feel you're fighting an uphill battle. Once you get to that point, without some additional help, you're just not going to make it. You just go back to your same habits. You just give up. What sparked my desire to lost weight was a trip to urgent care because of a headache. When I went into the clinic they took my blood pressure, and the doctor asked if I was under anybody's medical care? I said no. He said I needed to get a physician and have him go through my health conditions. So I went to a physician that diagnosed me as Type II diabetic and hypertensive and poor kidney function. I also had a condition...

Bedsores, or pressure ulcers as they are sometimes called, are a serious and unfortunate common occurrence among residents in nursing homes. This is so because the most significant risk factor of developing a bedsore is immobility--someone who cannot move or get out of bed on their own and must depend on the care of another. Because most bedsores are preventable, the mere existence of one may indicate medical negligence and a failure by the nursing home to properly reposition a resident, among other failures. In short, a pressure ulcer is caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin that results in damage to the underlying skin tissue. There are four stages of bedsores. Stage I is an observable redness (alteration of skin) caused by pressure. Stage II is an observable thinning of a skin area and appears as a blister or abrasion. Stage III is an observable thinning and skin loss with damage to the underlying tissue and appears as a deep crater or blister. Stage IV is a full skin loss...

bit.ly Nursing Home Neglect - Lack of Attention and Due Care Nursing home neglect is the failure to act with the same prudence that a reasonable nursing home owner or operator would have acted under the same or similar set of circumstances. Usually, nursing home negligence occurs when nursing home staff, such as direct care staff, nurses, nurse aides, therapists, dieticians, rehabilitation specialists, and others fail to monitor a resident's condition, fail to appropriately assess a resident's condition, or fails to report a significant change of condition to the resident's physician. We expect the nursing and direct care staff at the nursing home to be the eyes and ears of the doctor and to report any significant changes of condition so appropriate care can be initiated and provided in a timely manner.
