Senior Humor
Dog for Sale
A guy spots a sign outside a house that reads TALKING DOG FOR SALE. Intrigued, he inquires inside.
"So what have you done with your life?" he asks the dog.
"I've led a very full life," says the dog.
"I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Iraq. And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a retirement home."
The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog's owner, "Why on earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?"
The owner says, "Because he's a liar! He never did any of that!"

Best Way to Avoid Hospital Readmission
Nearly 20 percent of Medicare patients discharged from a hospital are
readmitted within 30 days. If you or an aging loved one has recently been admitted to the hospital, preventing readmission should be a top priority. One strategy incorporates all the best practices...it's called a care plan, and it's very effective.

Angels Who Soar: Celebrating Our Hardworking Employees
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working employees who go beyond the call of duty. Below is why our Angels are so special...
Shushana F. is one of those angels who quietly and effectively goes about her job without a lot of people taking notice...that's only because Shushana works overnight shifts. Sushana is a bright star on those dark nights, quietly but efficiently caring for our clients and keeping them comfortable. Shushana rarely calls out and has an outstanding record with Visiting Angels.
Abena B. is one of our live-in caregiver employees who has gone above and beyond for our clients. She truly cares about our clients; she makes sure they have a clean, comfortable, and safe environment, makes sure they are on time to doctor appointments, and provides for their wants and needs. She has been described as kind, patient, and well-mannered representative of Visiting Angels.
We are grateful for you and thank you for your hard work, Shushana and Abena!

certified home health professionals
, are ready to provide assistance with the activities of daily living to seniors, the disabled, those recovering from surgery, and to those who are simply frail. Our

include tasks such 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 living at home safely. We understand how challenging the home care selection process can be.
