Volume 1, Number 4
Welcome to our August issue of the Hearthstone/Carestone newsletter. We certainly hope you have enjoyed some relaxing times this past month.
In this issue, we remind you and your loved ones about the importance of care for caregivers. Often, as caregivers, you carry multiple jobs with little or no time for yourselves. Learn how you can plan for some well-needed respite from the day-to-day care you so lovingly provide. If you haven’t enjoyed any relaxation this past month, we share ways to find time for you to do so!
Lastly, have you ever wondered why you have a last name and how using one came about? Do you know the most popular all-time male and females first names? Read on to find out more!
We urge you to call or drop by to visit as so many of you did this past month! Thank you. As your friend and resource, we want to support you in every way possible. Learn more about how we can help you maintain or increase quality of life for your loved ones, most affordably.
Warmly,

Care for the Caregiver
Caring for family members has been going on for ages and ages and is done out of kindness, love and loyalty.
But, unfortunately, caregiving can be challenging and is the cause of varying emotional, physical and mental health problems especially in older caregivers.
Did you know?
• An estimated 52 million Americans 20+ provide unpaid care to older folks and those with disabilities.
• Caregivers have many roles. 60% of those caregivers ages 50-64 work outside of the home.
• Many caregivers of older people are seniors themselves. Of those caring for someone over the age of 65, the average age is 63 and 1/3 of those folks are in poor to fair health.
• The average length of caregiving is 4.3 years.

Short-Term Visits
Temporary Care for Both Seniors and Their Caregivers
There are certain times when a short stay for a loved one at a senior community is a perfect solution.
If a caregiver has a vacation planned or even a business trip, giving him/her a brief respite from day to day care is a welcome alternative.
Designed for a month or less, or in special cases even longer, short stays are also an option for a loved on needing extra assistance after a hospital visit or illness.

What’s in a Name?
Names are interesting; names are fun! Onomastics or onomatology is the study of names. There are so many answers onomasticians have for us – For instance, what is a given name vs. a family name?
A given name is a name one assumes after birth – in the United States it would be the “first” name vs. the family name which follows the given name and which is inherited.
