With 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.
October is known for breaking out the pumpkin spice and fall harvest time. 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.
