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.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video: "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review: Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine. I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
