Today was the 5th Annual Caring for the Caregiver Event!! A few of us ladies got to meet up there. Great connections were made by all. We received some Great materials to hand out to our consumers!! Thanks Franklin County!! What a great couple of days!!
I kidnapped Jade Needum Friday morning to help get some marking materials and gifts together. Friday afternoon she kidnapped me and we shopped all afternoon. That lady has expensive taste!
Saturday we started the day off with the event. Got to meet Linda Bruff in person and we’ll be doing a coffee this week. Went for a late lunch with the girls. Then a few of us went shopping at Bin Mania. My favorite cheap store for expensive things I use in this business!
November is my birth month and we’re Rock & Rolling for Forget Me Not Home Care Agency!!

I had to Thank Mike Trogdon & Amanda Trogdon yesterday for inviting me out to assist them with building a shed. They laughed at me but I finally relaxed yesterday!! Even though it was a long day. Working 5:30am and ending at 9:30pm. My phone didn’t ring nearly as much as usual yet they thought it didn’t stop ringing. Then they got to hear what it's like to deal with someone with Dementia. It so sad to have to explain something to someone 3 or 4 times before they understand something that's simple. Thank goodness Amanda gets it's because men usually don’t and it's hard for them to understand much let alone except that someday it could be them.
Thanks guys for letting me assist!!

I wanted to share the lastest about MyCare. I have spent the last 10 months helping ODM with the OHCW developing a new Self Directed waiver. Everyone should check this new waiver out. In developing the new one we were able to make changes to the Ohio MyCare Waiver. I was lucky enough to be a MyCare Choices Home Care Attendent for my son in law. So I understood things from a Provider and Consumers point of view. I realize people have had problems with MyCare but please don't judge this based upon a few people with bad experiences. It has changed over the years and things have been getting better.
I will continue to work on behalf of consumers and providers to make this program a success for everyone.
I had enough faith in it to push me to open an ODA agency which means we can accept MyCare consumers. I'm so tired of agency owners keeping most of the raises that were given on January 1, 2024. I think we've finally been approved by all MCO that are MyCare approved MCO's.
Please research MyCare, if you have questions please call any of the numbers on this flyer or reach out to me. I try to help everyone that I can. I really believe this is a beneficial product for all consumers and providers.
I'll post the flyer in the comments.

It takes a Village in these times. I have a fantastic Village, I’m one of the wealthiest people!! Because I’m surrounded by people like Janet Laprad Hammock, she knew of a single parent who provides care to their child and can’t work so Janet sprung into action!! I’m always willing to help with our Village!!

Here’s her post she is amazing!!

“URGENT HELP NEEDED: I've come in contact with a provider and her loved one who need our help. She hasn't asked for it, but I'm asking. I won't go into details but trust me when I say, they can't afford groceries at this point. They have exhausted all avenues of help with no luck. If you could find it in your heart to donate even $5.00 it would be greatly appreciated. You can use:
Venmo () 9011 is last 4 of the phone number,
Cash App ($mcurtis1962) or
Pay-pal to ().
Or checks, gift cards can be mailed to Marilyn Curtis 14399 Cleveland Rd, Pataskala, Oh 43062. When you sit down for dinner today, I hope you will think about this family and find it in your heart to make a loving donation.

I’m stressed out! Computer crashed Friday night around 9pm! Then Ms Wheelchair Ohio Saturday & Sunday back home at 10pm last night. All day today getting ready to do a presentation to Pataskala City Council for them to back an Adult Day Services (ADS) program here!!
Maybe me being stressed will show them how badly us caregiver whether paid or not need this for our own health!!

You ever had someone just pop in your head? I did and sent that person a message because I wanted them to know I appreciate things that they’ve done for me. No matter how long it’s been since you’ve talked to someone or seen them you need to let them know that you appreciate them and are thinking of them.

We are teaming up with the Nonprofit Forget Me Not Home Care to help people be Self Sufficiently Living! This is a big deal if you want to be self employed or be a W-2 employee.
We need Caregivers, CNA, STNA or Personal Care Assistants. Starting pay can be anywhere from $16 an hour to $22.25.
We will help you with the process.
This job is not for everyone. It is either of the 2 F's 1 F is for FUN and the other is because it's a cluster F**k of a day.
Taking care of someone can go from good to bad in a split second.
If you think you have what it takes send us a message.
