Elder Mom

Elder Mom

Elder’s success derives, in large part, from the ability of its teachers to transmit to the students a strong work ethic firmly rooted in the Gospel values. Indeed, it is not enough to work hard; one must do so in pursuit of building the Kingdom of God. Thus, Elder teaches its students to taste success through selfless service to others, tireless devotion to academic excellence, and an unflinching desire to succeed – all tempered by Christ’s teachings.

Elder is a place for young men from all communities to grow, not only intellectually, but also physically, spiritually, culturally and socially. We are a comprehensive, college-prep Catholic high school that offers a place for all students to express their individuality and make their high school experience unique.

Elder is proud to offer a wide range of curricular offerings which challenge and nurture the interests of all students. Our curriculum – aligned with the A.C.T. College Readiness Standards – is comprised of required courses in various levels (Advanced Placement, Honors, Advanced College Prep, College Prep and General) and electives that allow students to customize their schedule to their individual interests and learning styles.

Compassion is at the heart of all authentic ministry. If our actions are not a result of a compassionate heart, we are but a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. We look first to our Elder family, then to the surrounding community, and finally to the world that is home to us all. An Elder student is taught to think globally but act locally. He learns, in word and deed, to reflect Christ, whose spirit gives us the desire to minister.

If it seems like an elderly relative sleeps a lot in the day, they are not alone. There are many age-related changes that the body goes through, resulting in normal interruptions in night-time sleep patterns. From aches to bathroom breaks, seniors face a number of interruptions as they sleep. The result is that they are often overtired in the day and can really benefit from a nice nap. However, if an elderly relative is sleeping most of the day away, it could signal a health problem, both physically and mentally.
Elder Care in Vestavia Hills AL: Daytime Sleeping
Aging adults deal with a number of sleep disorders that fall under the umbrella of insomnia. Because chronic illness, aches and pains are more common in the elderly, leaving them with difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. They may also have trouble staying asleep and experience frequent nighttime awakenings. The body can only go so long with sleep deprivation before it tries to compensate. If elderly people aren’t getting the restful sleep they need at night, they will take it in the daytime.
Insomnia can also be triggered by a number of different causes. When an elderly person is sleeping for most of the daytime, it usually signals that there is something going on within the mind or the body. Too much daytime sleeping means that seniors are skipping meals, remaining inactive and aren’t able to get involved in events and outings or in conversations with friends, family members or senior care assistants. These consequences can be further detrimental to elderly adults.
There are a number of elder care causes that might explain why an elderly person is sleeping all day. One of the most obvious is because of medication. There are lots of different medications that can trigger excessive sleepiness in seniors, such as drugs for depression or high blood pressure. Sometimes a single medicine may not trigger sleepiness but when taken with another drug, the interaction may create a sleepiness side effect. A doctor can make adjustments to the medication as necessary. Interestingly, vitamin deficiencies may also be the root cause of drowsiness during the daylight hours.
Psychological conditions can cause seniors to feel sleepy during the day and cause disturbances at night. Anxiety and depression can create insomnia, which in turn triggers elderly adults to sleep all day. It’s common for seniors to develop depression or anxiety that often goes undiagnosed, so family caregivers need to make sure their loved one is evaluated by a qualified doctor. In the medium stages of dementia, seniors also tend to sleep longer in the day. In other words, the elderly adult could be in good health physically, but have some kind of mental condition that is contributing to the lethargy.
It’s important for family caregivers, elder care aides, and anyone else that interacts with the elderly adult to watch out for the bad habit of sleeping all day. While some seniors may just need the boost that a restorative nap brings, if they are sleeping all day long, it could signal a more significant problem.

I tell myself this several times as I drive two and a half hours to my mother’s house. She is 84 and fell a few days earlier. I have not seen her since last Christmas, prior to the coronavirus pandemic. My husband and I had not planned to travel during the holidays. He stays behind. I will sleep with the window open and the door shut. I will sleep in fuzzy pajamas and socks. I will wear a mask indoors. I will be OK. She will be OK. When I arrive, she is bruised and stiff, using a walker. Prior to her fall, she zipped around unassisted and lived alone.
I stay two nights to cook, clean and help. The first day, I step outside, lower my mask and stare upward at the longleaf pine trees. Two hawks, huge and silent, take flight. I breathe in the moment, calm. I pull up my mask and return inside. The second morning, Thanksgiving Day, Mom says she feels better, and she seems more energetic. I am
