Q&A: What’s the best way to tell an aging parent that it’s time to move into an assisted living facility?

February 16th, 2012 admin

Question by AJP: What’s the best way to tell an aging parent that it’s time to move into an assisted living facility?
She’s almost 91 years old, and has all her marbles. But she is having trouble caring for herself in her own apartment. She has insisted in the past that she won’t go into assisted living because of the connotations of that kind of place, but she can no longer care for herself. She knows it, too.

Best answer:

Answer by dzr0001
i would try to convince her that they can take better care of her than you or herself can, and also let her know that she still deserves the best of care and that the assisted living can provide that for her.

Q&A: Best GPS for the $$$ maybe less wasted features?

January 12th, 2012 admin

Question by : Best GPS for the $$$ maybe less wasted features?
I am a little over the top when it comes to technology. Recenty I started looking at GPS units and now I’m baffled, so I’m asking your advice :) please

I would like a farely inexpensice GPS unit that gets the job done. I just bought the Garmin Nuvi 775t and quickly decided that it was a waste of money. The GPS portion is awesome, quickly finds routes and quickly redirects me when I’m lost. Here is why I think its a waste though:

MSN Direct: Hmm doesn’t work in my area (only 2 areas in Virginia are available)

Bluetooth: I have a jawbone and a convertible. I don’t think the GPS hands free is going to work with the top down, the jawbone does

Picture Viewer: Why?

MP3: Not that convenient for me. I have an ipod so that does the trick. The MP3 is nice, isn’t very good for sorting music, playlists etc.

***So I’m back on the path of finding a GPS that is right for me. I thought about going very basic and getting the Garmin 205 (or whatever model it is) then I started seeing the Nulink and Go Live series of Garmin and TomTom. Sure not everyone needs that much info at their finger tips but I have come across situations when I wish I did (ex. gas prices, area searches etc). I know you can download POI and such but you can bet when I’m in some off the path area I will not have what I want and have no clue whats in the area.

What I would like is a good GPS (fast route search, turn around times etc) that is accurate and easy to use. I do love the speed indicator on the Garmin, I use that more than the cars speedometer. I would like to be able to add POI and have multiple stops on a trip or be able to go off route with the GPS still functional.Lane assist would be nice but not a deal breaker.

Any thoughts or suggests? Should I just hire a personal assistant to search everything I want? LOL

Thanks in advance

Is assisted-living the best option for my mother?

August 17th, 2011 admin

Question by WhiteWolf359: Is assisted-living the best option for my mother?
My sister and brother-in-law own the house where my mother and I currently live. They bought the house as an investment, and because my parents were paying too much money to live in a small “villa” in a retirement community where they were not particularly happy. Now, due to my Mom’s continuing depression and the onset of stage two dementia (mostly loss of short-term memory), they want to sell the home and move her into an assisted-living facility. I think this is a bad idea. My mother is not a socially outgoing person, and I do not think she will flourish in that environment. Also, she’s as healthy as an ox, and I don’t think being around sick and dying people will do anything to lift her spirits. She can feed herself, clothe herself and does not require any medical care. I feel that uprooting her from what she has come to accept as her “home” could have very negative psychological effects, but I don’t have a “voice” because my sister is older and “knows best.” Is it a good idea?
