I was regularly visiting my Grand Mother, who suffers with Vascular Dementia, at her care home while my parents were away on holiday.  On time, I was helping her to put on her cardigan because it was cold.  Several pills fell from her pocket on to the floor!  I had no idea if they were her own medication or if they belonged to someone else!  When I went to report the matter, the care nurse said she would look into the matter and speak with the care nurse who was...

Just imagine after years of working, traveling across the globe, heading from one company to the other, or simply put, the daily work has finally taken its toll on...

I was introduced to senior caregiver tasks at the age of 10 with helping to assist my grandmother. She depended on me for support during her stages of dementia. When I moved to Los Angeles, CA, I didn't know that you could create relationships of all kinds with seniors and an income too.

But there are seventy-five year-old retirees playing tennis out there, and anyone who can still think and move two...
