Longevity and Cognitive Health Among a Group of Canadian Centenarians

release date: Feb 16, 2026
Longevity and Cognitive Health Among a Group of Canadian Centenarians
The purpose of this book is to explore practical information and insights from a group of Canadian centenarians to assist health care professionals and researchers who administer care to the oldest of adults, known as “Centenarians.” A centenarian is a person who lives to or beyond 100 years of age. From a phenomenological approach, this book is important as few studies on cognitive health among centenarians have included in-depth and detailed descriptions from the individuals themselves. Physical and mental health challenges increase with advancing age and the oldest individuals may be prone to several risk factors such as dementia, disability and dependency. However, research has also suggested that centenarians may be resistant to cognitive decline and have survival advantages. Theoretical perspectives, together with current literature will assist in our understanding of cognition and longevity among centenarians. In addition, therapeutic interventions will be explored to address the needs and challenges centenarians face in their daily lives. The Phenomenological approach will include in-depth face-to-face interviews to assess factors that may have a relationship to longevity and cognitive health. The goal was to collect data from approximately 10 individuals together with family members. The interview questionnaire focused on demographic information, physical functioning and mental health, cognitive health, living arrangements, and family and social involvement. The administration of the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) was used as an additional source when appropriate. Analyses of the information was based on the Phenomenological approach (Creswell, 1998), to explore the essence and meaning of the statements. An informed consent was given to each of the participants and/or to a family member. The interviews were conducted in various living situations, such as home environments, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in Canada. Implications for clinical practice and research was addressed. This book will be particularly useful for family caregivers, Social Workers, Nurses, other health care practitioners and students who are involved in undergraduate, graduate studies and research in Gerontology and or clinical practice.

The Jamaican

release date: Nov 14, 2024
The Jamaican
Rena stood beneath the flickering streetlight, shadows dancing around her like whispers of forgotten dreams. The vibrant colors of Mexico City washed over her, a stark contrast to the darkness swirling within. It was here, in the depths of her despair, that she contemplated the twisted journey her life had taken. The decision to flee Buffalo, NY had been impulsive-driven by an unbearable need to escape the chains of her struggling existence. She left behind not just her job and home, but also her ex-lover, Behanzin, who embodied everything a human male could ever possessed, until he made the mistake of propositioning her into the prostitution ring. Her otherworldly soulmate, Jahazap, the embodiment of everything she feared and craved, a riptide dragging her into an abyss she struggled to resist. Being propped up by her past and present misfortunes, Rena was far from the girl who used to explore the world with passion and curiosity. Now haunted by a desires so intense they threatened to consume her. The very thought of embracing what resided within her pushed her toward the brink; a power she both feared and craved. His ethereal presence ever lingering, reminding her of the fragile boundary between light and dark. "To gaze upon me is to risk your survival," he once said, a warning that had fallen on deaf ears as she let her heart drift to the physical realm, seeking the thrill of human connection. She felt the urgency mounting-it echoed in her chest and throbbed in her veins. Whether it was the essence of danger calling to her or the allure of the unknown, she tried not to be drawn towards Luke''s ultimatum. The biggest drugs lord in Rochester whose money she needed to survive. "Find a man in Mexico, Rena. I''m tired of supporting you," he had said, meanest lacing his voice. With no other options, she embraced her predicament. Rena walked the streets with head held high, determination lighting the darkness within. She would become the hunter rather than the hunted, reclaiming her power.

I Didn't Know I Was Beautiful

release date: May 21, 2020
I Didn't Know I Was Beautiful
"Every home should have a copy. It''s that powerful.""Am I pretty? Am I good enough?" are the questions countless young girls and women have asked themselves at some point during the course of their lifetime. Simple questions that when answered incorrectly often have profound consequences. The answers to value and self-worth are usually related to the scope of one''s past, be it childhood or adulthood, and unfortunately many girls grow up and women continue along life''s journey with the most pertinent questions about who they really are unanswered, incorrectly answered or ignored. Consequently, they learn to settle for less than they deserve and never expect anything worthwhile to happen for them, while they teach their own daughters to do the same without having to utter a single word. A dangerous concept, isn''t it? So many are scarred emotionally, develop unhealthy habits and unknowingly become their own worst enemy. They feel hopeless that any turn-around is at all possible, using excuses such as: "Nothing good ever happens to me"; "I''m not attractive or talented enough"; "I''m too old"; "I''ve been settling for too long"; "I''m just too afraid"; "I don''t want to take any risks". Sounds familiar?I Didn''t Know I Was Beautiful: The Real and Raw Facts That Every Woman on The Planet Should Know seeks to change all that and address the questions that have long been avoided to the detriment of women all over the world. An inspiring read for young girls and women of all ages, cultures and creed. It''s now time to face reality, overcome the stubborn barriers and claim what is rightfully yours. You deserve the best and to soar like an eagle for the simple fact that you are woman. Excerpt from ''I Didn''t Know I Was Beautiful'': "I wondered when the time came if I''d miss her.All she ever did was made me feel ugly, inferior, and worthless. Although I know I''d cry whenever she passed on, I wondered if those tears would be because I''d miss her or because I''d be reliving all the emotional pain she''d inflicted upon me ever since I knew myself. I''m a grown thirty-year-old woman now, but almost daily, hearing her voice and seeing her face is a constant reminder of all she''d put me through when I was an innocent, caring child who only wanted to love her and know that she was safe."After centuries of women not realizing the power of who they are, this book will break through the myth that you must have the approval of others in order to be secure within yourself; that you must look a certain way or have certain credentials to be worth anything in this world. The walls are finally coming down! A powerful read that gets to the core of who you are as a woman and the very power of your presence.

Grab the Carrot and Run
We each have a set of conditions, or standards that we believe we need to reach to get to our next greatest level. Whether those conditions and standards are shaped by the attitudes, and opinions of others, or we have risen to our unique level of authenticity that dictates those standards, those standards still exist. I like to think of those standards as an imaginary carrot that dangles over our head, we stretch, and reach, and try to grab it, but some imaginary force pulls the carrot higher out of our reach. But what happens when we stop trying to grab the carrot, and we stop stretching, and reaching, and growing...we began to settle for mediocrity. We settle yet, there is something inside that desires more, not more things like cars, houses, riches, etc. but a strong desire to become greater through the fulfillment of purpose. Grab that Carrot and run is about fulfilling your desire to grab hold of your purpose and run. That carrot is your motivation to run to the finish line, for you to create your lane, and run your race without permission from others, and without apologies for your greatness! The greatest moments of your life are before you, if you grab hold of that carrot and run!
