Senior Humor
THE CAT
A man hated his wife's cat and he decided to get rid of it.
He drove 20 blocks away from home and dropped the cat there. But the cat was already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.
The next day, he decided to drop the cat 40 blocks away, but the same thing happened.
He kept on increasing the number of blocks but the cat kept coming home before him.
At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again, and another right and so on, until he reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.
Hours later, the man called his wife at home and asked her, "Dorothy, is the cat there?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" answered the wife.
Frustrated, the man said, "Put that cat on the phone...I'm lost and need directions!"

About Our Care
Visiting Angels
is a New Jersey-licensed, non-medical home care company committed to going well beyond the "industry standard" to provide an exceptional level of security, comfort and peace of mind to our clients and their loved ones. Our "Angels", all
certified home health professionals
, are ready to provide compassionate and dependable assistance with the activities of everyday living to seniors, the disabled, those recovering from surgery and to those who are simply frail. Our
services
include such simple tasks as light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands and shopping to more personal tasks such as hygiene assistance, bathing, dressing and grooming.
Visiting Angels
' in-home care helps make it possible for seniors and other adults to continue to live at home and maintain the independence of their daily routines and familiar surroundings, safely. We truly understand how challenging and alien the entire home care selection process can be...and we are experienced in working with families; with loved ones "resistant" to receiving care; and with third-parties payors (such as insurance companies and the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs) to help insure that the best interests of the family and their loved ones are met.
Visiting Angels' services
help families spend more mutually-rewarding and meaningful time with their loved ones and also helps provide comfort and peace of mind to those who face the challenge of long-distance caregiving.
