Many people believe that they’ll be able to just completely switch gears once they retire, but the truth is, if you don’t prepare yourself now, retirement may be some of the most boring and dull years of your life. Instead of having just the weekends off, you are going to be at home nearly every day. If you want to make the most of it all and have a happy, successful retirement, you’re going to need to get started preparing right away.

The recent influx of seniors and retirees into the population has nursing homes severely overcrowded and Americans asking themselves in record numbers: "Just what is adult day care and how can it help me?" To answer this we will look at the problem as logically as we can, in a manner that can be easily understood by anyone, regardless of experience in the field or practical life experience. Considering that the the Baby Boomer population, (the largest...

The program details the life and memory of the...

It is the nature of soul to grow, to heal, and to love. As we enter into the world, we emerge as a tiny child. We are open. We do not have conditions placed on us by our parents or ourselves. We have not closed ourselves off from any possibility. It is though the world lay at our feet. We are a bundle of unconditioned purity. As we age, conditions are placed on us to direct us along our paths intended to keep us from harm. Even if we manage to stay out of harms way, we move into a...

When Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal went before Congress a couple weeks ago to discuss the need for greater oversight in the nursing home industry, he was speaking fresh from the wound of one of the worst episodes of corporate siphoning in recent memory, as bad or worse than the ENRON fiasco, but far less well-known.
Blumenthal cited his experience in the ongoing fight with Haven Healthcare, one of the largest administrators of nursing homes in Connecticut. The...

Working with older adults, in the care sector I have seen many changes over the last six years. The most encouraging of these is the growing recognition that physical activity has an important part to play in later life and EVEN in residential care.
Motivating older adults to join an exercise session is not usually an easy task, in fact I often have comments such as: "I've done my exercise young man" and "I spent 50 years in the Navy, why should I exercise...

What should you do with your parents' home if they are put into care?
Putting a loved one into care is an incredibly emotional and stressful experience; I know, we had to do make the decision on behalf of my mum when dad was suffering with Parkinsons and dementia.
In mum’s case we were lucky, she could still afford to stay in their home even when paying for dad to be in a special care home. As mum’s home was big enough to create a bedroom downstairs and...

This is such a tough time for everyone. Sometimes it’s a relief all round, other times it can be very tense. Depending on your circumstances, you have two courses of action: to sell the property or rent it out.
Whether you decide to rent out the property or sell it often depends on three factors:-
1. Is your parent ‘happy’ to let go of the property or do they still think they will come home at some stage? This can be the case...
