I think I over analyze blogging. Not sure though. I want to provide information that will help others; but is the real purpose of a blog to be more entertaining or educational? I have recently begun to pay attention to the older females skin tone. I have several clients with incredible skin (especia...

Home Health Care has become big business. As the population ages; there is a need for caregivers to help people stay home longer. Sitters as they are sometimes called; earn from $8-20 an hour depending on where you live. Quite a few families handle the care giving duties themselves. For those who w...

I spent several years working within the Rehab/ nursing home settings; and suffered through numerous state "rounds". Most nursing homes do not go by the Nursing Home title any longer.
