In Home Care VS Nursing Home

I love the new way things are transitioning for our older generations. Instead of moving to a nursing home and feeling like all independence is lost, elderly now can choose in home elder care. It's an amazing feeling for an elderly person to stay in their own home and not feel as if they were in a prison where meals are scheduled and bed times are put in place. I know nursing homes still serve a purpose and many of the nursing homes offer more of a community feel rather then a institutional feeling. Choices are a great option because many elderly people might lose some mobility but are functioning well in every other area. Then the opposite is true too, many elderly are fine with mobility but suffer from memory loss.

Within the realm of in home elder care you have options. If you need help with homemaking skills someone can come and help prepare meals and do some cleaning and laundry. Or maybe you want your loved one to have some social interaction for a meal, movie, games or cards, go to church, and so much more. Also, you can hire an over night person to help you have peace of mind knowing someone is there with your loved one.

I am unsure of the costs between in home care and nursing homes or if medicare will cover the services. It is a tough choice for families and many families just need to hear all the options when weighing the options for their loved one.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
