Seven Tips

Mom has had a pretty good week. I call her every morning and she seems to be doing fine. Before I hang up, I always say, "I love you bunches." and she always responds, "I love you two bunches." :) I also send her a printed copy of the Sunday Sermons at church and she enjoys getting them in the mail. She has her "spot" out in the "Front Room" and is usually already in it by the time I get through to her on the phone. I had a bit of a stressful deal going on earlier this month with her Social Security and DSHS benefits due to people not doing their job in a timely fashion but eventually got it all straightened out. No need to bother Mom about any of the details. She becomes anxious easily but also can get over it before you know it. I guess that is one nice thing about AD. Found a good article on seven tips for Elderly Caregivers that you might like to see. Click Here.

Community Living

We are planning to pick Mom up for Church again this Lord's Day. She did well last time and we pray she will feel up to it again this Sunday. Here is a link to an article that brings out some positive things about Community Living and why Seniors now a days are liking it more and more. http://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/why-seniors-prefer-senior-living-communities/
