Long-Term Care Planning: A Senior's ChecklistSomehow, it’s already November. The year is rounding out to a close really soon. On November eleventh, we will celebrate our nation’s armed forces on Veteran’s Day. This is the day to pay tribute and honor those who have sacrificed their time with their families and their lives to protect our great country. Many of our senior loved ones have served in the military at some point in their lives. While it should be a daily practice to thank a veteran, it is especially important on this national holiday. Simply saying “thank you” is a small gesture that surely is appreciated. Post a message on a social networking site to thank our veterans. You never know who may come across that post and just needed to hear those words.

The need for a coat or extra layer of clothing in the evenings and early mornings is becoming unavoidable. The days are getting shorter and chilly nights are growing longer.

More recently, October has also become more commonly known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer has claimed many lives, both male and female, so it is important to help shed light on ways to detect, prevent, treat and hopefully cure the disease.
Breast Cancer Awareness and In Home Senior CareWith the summer season behind us, our day-to-day life resumes and routine schedules are honored. If you have school-aged children, it’s time for helping with homework assignments and dinner meal preparation each weeknight. Life can get pretty chaotic during the school year. This is the time of year that may make visiting elderly loved ones on a regular basis nearly impossible. If distance makes a visit difficult, a quick phone call to say hi or a gift of flowers “just because” will make your loved one feel special. If you are concerned that your loved one is spending too many hours alone, there are options for affordable in-home care to provide much needed daily companionship.
Affordable In Home Care and Remembering Family MembersWhile it tends to be the trend, there’s no need to wait until the New Year to make a resolution to live cleaner and to take the necessary steps to a healthier lifestyle. A very simple and daily practice that will improve health is to eat a cleaner diet. Eating fewer processed foods and more fruits and vegetables will reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Aim for foods with fewer chemicals and more ingredients that are simple and from nature. Practice moderation and look for variety. Healthy eating will improve health, make you feel your best and will even help reduce stress. Not only will eating better foods make us feel better, it will help us to live better.

It is important to not overbook yourself so that you can still take the time to spend downtime together. It’s the lazy weekends spent lounging over brunch and conversation that build memories. Crammed schedules and rushing from commitment to commitment can be very overwhelming. Time spent together doing nothing can be more fulfilling than attending many hectic events.
