"I just decided I would tell her every single day. And she forgets it every day, so it’s like new to her each time she hears it."

People get sick. And in the depths of that sickness, a person might forget about her first date, her wedding, and even the love of her life.

"As the population ages, the burden of social isolation on public health will only increase."

"The supply of caregivers is shrinking just as the nation needs them most. Every day, 10,000 people turn 65. In 2020, there will be 56 million people 65 and older, up from 40 million in 2010."

Family members have long been the backbone of the nation’s long-term care system. But smaller, more far-flung families mean fewer of these unpaid helpers to attend to the rising population of elderly Americans. “Are you really my daughter?”

Do you know a senior in need of companion care? Companion care services offer emotional support and companionship for seniors who want to remain independent and enjoy life with extra guidance.

Our clients enjoy sharing fond stories of their past, spa visits for manicures and pedicures, chatting over a meal, taking walks, light housekeeping and much more. This type of care can be significant for seniors who live alone and may be isolated from others.

Companion care services can prolong seniors from going to assisted living or nursing facilities by enabling them to remain active, both physically and mentally. Family members enjoy peace of mind when their loved one is both physically and mentally active with a companion care employee in the community.

Studies show the effects of dementia are delayed when seniors remain active, engage in conversation and play games!

Does anyone from Seattle have any great tips for Pam and Rita Jernigan with their upcoming move?

Hi! My wife and I are planning to move to Seattle to be near our son. We like tennis (public not a fancy club), hiking, casual biking, walking to the grocery. We're 56 & 62. I wondered if any of you seniors could recommend some neighborhoods. We are middle income. We would love to be able to walk to a few restaurants. Our kiddo lives in Montlake, but it's a bit pricey for us. Any tips would be great! Thanks. Pam and Rita Jernigan in Little Rock, AR

We received this message and are turning to our Facebook community: if you have advice for our soon-to-be new neighbors, please share it here!
