TESTIMONIAL

I have a nice apartment that my furniture fit in beautifully.  Plenty of room for all the furniture and it looks beautiful in the apartment.  It looks more like a home and I am quite pleased with the place.  I am participating in many games and I am getting acquainted with many people.  My apartment is beautiful and looks like a model home.  My furniture and decorations look very well here.  I am very pleased and happy here.  Thank you for placing me here.

Happy New Year! And, though it was a great year at times, may it be less tumultuous than some events of 2016! Now that the holiday fun has come to an end, keep an eye on seniors who may need a little boost at this time by checking out our article below on the subject. Also, to shrug off those post holiday blues start your year off right with our caregiver resolutions article, or read up on a new endeavor like hydrotherapy (aka swimming!). Speaking of something new, how about all this RAIN!? Thank God! Just...be careful on the road! Here's to a great 2017!


Warm Regards,
    
Post Holiday Blues
Why it Happens & What to Do. . . 

As the end of the holidays approaches, many people feel relief knowing the hustle and bustle is nearly done. Yet the day after decorations are packed away and the leftovers are in the freezer, surprisingly that relief can be replaced with feelings of depression, especially for seniors. Older adults are more likely to have difficulty with both pre- and post-holiday blues if they are more isolated from family and friends. Seniors are also more likely to be suffering from ill health, which can exacerbate feelings of depression that may arise after the holidays. According to the American Geriatrics Society, seniors may also feel blue after the holidays if they are facing money issues, and spent beyond a budget.

Caregiver Resolutions
Top 10

The lives of those who are family caregivers of seniors can be difficult, with many demands on their time from their senior loved ones, spouses, children and their jobs. It is often even more difficult when you add into the mix the additional stress of wanting to do the very best for family - and often having your efforts taken for granted. Your senior loved one demands your attention and time, often times with little or no spoken thanks in return from them or other family members. Challenges face you every day, every minute some days. Sometimes those challenges are repetitive, but too often you are hit with something out of the blue.
Senior Swim 
Hydrotherapy with Mum

Yesterday I took Mum to the pool. I don't think she's been swimming for about 60 years. "It's not swimming," I told her, "it's hydrotherapy." Which was completely true. Mum was highly amused by the whole business. Every time I brought it up, she'd tell me the same thing: "You're quite mad... but I'm not averse to the idea." She was definitely up for it. The first problem was finding a swimsuit.
