Senior Humor
The Dentist
I was sitting in the waiting room of my new dentist. It was my first appointment. I noticed his diploma on the wall, which had his full name.
Suddenly, I recalled a tall, dark haired, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class nearly 50 years ago. Could this be the same boy I had a secret crush on, way back then?
When I saw him, however, I quickly discarded that thought. This gray haired, balding man with the deeply wrinkled face was way too old to have been my classmate. Hmmm! Or could he?
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Central High School.
"Yes, I did!" he said. He gleamed with pride.
"What year did you graduate?" I asked.
"In 1969," he said. "Why do you ask?"
"I was in your class!," I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, wrinkled, old, fat, bald, gray, decrepit *@!# asked, "What did you teach?"

We're Delighted to Hear from Families About Our Exceptional Care!
A Satisfied Family's Review:
"Visiting Angels were wonderful. Jamison was a wonderful caretaker; my uncle was really fond of him. The caregiver treated him very well. [Visiting Angels] helped with basic in-home help like bathing, feeding, getting [my uncle] out of bed, and whatever was needed to watch my uncle so his wife could go and run errands. The whole staff was also always very informative and followed up when he was not doing well. We were very pleased with their whole service."
--Heather, Lawrenceville, NJ

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...
Natacha L. has been one of our dedicated, loyal Angels since 2014. We can always count on her reliability, her consistent attendance, and her eagerness to take on more long-term and fill-in assignments. A client has recently commented that she's very friendly, is always smiling, and happily performs her duties. Keep up the awesome work, Natacha!
Nancy C. is one of our newer Angels who is making a positive impact. She's working with a client who had previously been resistant to receiving help with her activities of daily living (ADLs). According to the family, Nancy's kind, professional demeanor has changed that resistance; now, their mom is even going on walks, which she had previously refused. We appreciate Nancy's gentle persuasion!
Thank you, Natacha and Nancy! We greatly value your hard work and diligent care of our clients.
