Do Something Grand for Grandparents Day, Sunday, September 12th

Aren’t grandparents truly GRAND! Grandparents are special for many reasons, but they have become even more so over the last year-and-a-half, as loved ones have not been able to spend time with them due to COVID.

Demonstrate Compassion, Community & Caring During National Assisted Living Week®

It seems rather appropriate that I publish this blog discussing National Assisted Living Week® (NALW), observed beginning September 12-18, 2021, in the middle of this special week of celebration, because Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and nursing homes have been the center of attention from the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brown Bag Checkups Provide Comprehensive Oversight of Senior Medications

Medications and supplements can be confusing, especially for seniors, but they are an essential component to their physical and mental well-being. It’s easy to forget that the occasional headache or upset stomach may be a side effect from medications, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins or supplements, but it happens.

Community Warriors Partner to Escalate Senior Care in Clearwater

We’ve all heard the phrase, “It takes a village to raise a child.” ”This is an idiom that translates to, ‘Many people must cooperate to achieve a goal.’ This expression is generally considered an African proverb common to many African cultures,” says The Grammarist.
