Today we cover two important issues.  The first is when your loved one is acclimating to a new community when they first move in and the heartbreak that can cause during the Holidays if they can’t come home to be with you.  The second is three secrets nursing homes might not want you to know including (1) it is never too late to try to save money; (2) Medicare doesn’t pay for much in the way of nursing home benefits; and (3) you can choose your own nursing home.

Our quote is: you can’t pour from an empty cup.  Make sure you take care of yourself first.”  No author.  This is something I stumbled upon looking for a good quote.  I think it is an important reminder to make sure you take care of you – the caregiver – especially during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season
