Adult Day Care
 Adult
Day Care programs provide an assortment of health, therapeutic, and
social services to those at risk of being placed in a nursing environment.
Adult Day Care services support elderly individuals who lack full
independence but who do not need 24-hour nursing care. Services may
include therapeutic and social activities designed to meet and enhance
the participant's level of functioning through individual plans of
care. Such Adult Day Care services generally provide support, respite
and education for caregivers.
A typical Adult Day Care center operates 10 - 12 hours per day and
provides meals, social/recreational outings, and general supervision.
Some Adult Day Care centers maintain a nurse on-site and may also
provide transportation and personal care.
With the added support through participation in Adult Day Care, admission
to rest homes or nursing homes may be delayed. Hence, participants
may be able to remain at home with family members for a longer period
of time. In addition the social stimulation and recreational activities
often mitigate the decline of cognitive/physical functions.
Adult Day Care support also aids caregivers by providing respite services
thus enabling caregivers to work or to have a break from their caregiving
responsibilities.
Costs for services are usually less than a home health visit and significantly
less than a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees for adult day services
vary depending upon the services provided.

Moving and Storage Services
Make sure you
have the information you need to protect
your memories, money, and belongings from moving problems.
The best defense against moving difficulties is to be informed and aware of your options when
choosing a reputable mover. While most household moves go smoothly, there are
many pitfalls that you should be aware of. It can also be stressful, even under
the best of circumstances. Use the checklist here to help guide you through the moving venture.
A key step is to read and understand all information provided by the mover. These should include the following basic documents
as part of your move:
Estimates
The estimate should clearly describe, in writing, all charges for
services the mover will perform. Make sure the estimate is signed by the mover.
Do not accept oral estimates.
Order for Service
The order for service is a list of all the services the mover will perform and
shows the dates your household goods will be picked up and delivered.
Bill of Lading
The bill of lading is a contract between you and the mover and a receipt of
your belongings. You should be given a partially completed copy of the bill of
lading before the mover leaves the residence at origin.
The inventory is the receipt showing each item you shipped and its condition.
Be sure you receive a written copy of the inventory after your household goods
are loaded, and that you agree with its description of your household goods'
condition

Aging In Place
 |
"Aging in place" is growing older without having to move. Aging in place with supportive services is one of the most desirable ways of aging. Aging in place can achieve efficiencies enabled by the customized care. Successful aging in place approaches focus on the provision of the most appropriate care for the specific individual. Thus avoiding wasted costs brought on by a "generic" care model. |
An aging in place scenario, creates housing and health care options to provide support as defined by an individualís wishes and efforts to live independently. Aging in place can work best when it is employed as a part of a comprehensive plan for retirement and aging. A key step in implementing aging in place is to make your home aging friendly. As we age we don't hear so well, we sometimes forget or get confused and we can even outlive doctor's predictions about our longevity. So as long as we persist in growing older, why not arrange our homes to accommodate our reality. Incorporate memory triggers into the way we arrange cabinets and counters, add soft fabrics to muffle background noises, change appliances to better accommodate our short-comings.
Here is a book to help you make your homes senior-friendly.
