Okay, I'm going to admit it ... being of a certain age (cough cough) I have been checking out what living in a senior community is like. My husband worked at an apartment community for seniors 62 and older for a few years, and it was really nice. Only problem is - when HE could move in, I still had to wait 8 years before I could! With the kids all having families of their own and moving on with their lives, it's something that we should consider in the foreseeable future. So here are some tips if you're in the same boat as we are! Choose … [Read more...] about What to Expect When Moving Into a Senior Community

Cremation Insurance Why You Should Give It Some Consideration

Cremation is a practice that has withstood the test of time. Unlike burial, which involves plenty of planning, it is a fast way to put a loved one to rest. It is no wonder, then, that more people are applying for cremation insurance. Numbers indicate that more than half of the population in the USA would rather be cremated than buried. Cremation insurance is a top way to ensure that this wish is met. If you are still not convinced that it is a worthwhile investment, or if you are not sure about it, we believe that you will find all … [Read more...] about Cremation Insurance: Why You Should Give It Some Consideration

How Tech Can Benefit Seniors

how seniors benefit from technology

As people get older, it makes sense that we would want to make some changes to our lives that will help us to do what we need to do but easier. It can be hard to integrate technology into the life of someone who has lived without it for most of their lifetime. But that doesn't mean that you can't help someone learn new things and use the right technology for them to make their lives a little bit easier. Many people, not just seniors, can benefit from the use of the right kind of technology in their day to day lives. But what are the best … [Read more...] about How Tech Can Benefit Seniors

Sunday, August 16, 2020 by Kimberly Miller 2 Comments

thoughts from a senior, pandemic

I think it is safe to say that we all have been intimidated and scared since the COVID-19 pandemic began. So much information and discussions to absorb that it has almost reached a point where I try to avoid the news and social media platforms at times. There are times where I just don't want to leave the house for fear of what might happen if my husband or I were to come in contact with someone who has the virus or is a carrier and doesn't realize it. All of this has given me time to think; however, about the senior citizens who live in our … [Read more...] about Thoughts of an (Almost) Senior During the Pandemic
