September 13,2011 Dear Ms. Evans, Thank you Comfort Keepers!!! My 90 year old mom is legally blind and lives in a senior citizen's residential community in Atlanta. For the past two plus years, Comfort Keepers has provided her with a daily CNA who has ensured that her life remains active and fulfIlled as well as providing her family with the peace of mind of knowing that her dignity, safety and quality of life is being protected. I have heard many "horror" stories from friends who have used other agencies for their elderly parents. I can honestly and thankfully say that Comfort Keepers has provided my mom with compassionate, attentive, reliable, competent caregivers. Ms. Evans, I attribute so much of our excellent experience to your personal involvement in vetting and matching caregiver personalities to be a great fit with my mom's sweet disposition and zest for life. In addition, you have provided ongoing monitoring and coaching for your caregivers to ensure a high, consis ...read more

Glendol has been my parents' caregiver for a year (my father passed away six months ago), and in that year I've seen my mother thrive. No amount of pleading could persuade her to attend activities at her assisted living complex before Glendol came along. Now she regularly attends exercise class, even when Glendol is nott there. She goes downstairs for the entertainment that is provided; she is more talkative and generally just happier. With a little encouragement from Glendol, she even took the microphone and sang a little solo at the house sing-along one day! Mother loves Glendol and tells me that she always looks forward to the days that she comes to visit. I can not praise Comfort Keepers enough for their kindness and insight as to who would be the perfect caregiver for my parents. ...read more

After an Alzheimer̢۪s or dementia disease diagnosis, you believe the best care for your loved one is at home in familiar surroundings with less disruption in routines resulting in reduced confusion. Like the majority of devoted family caregivers, you take on the role of providing Alzheimer's care. As a primary caregiver for someone with the disease, the effort begins to take a toll on your own physical and emotional health, family life and career. Families with the best intentions simply "burn out". Neglecting other responsibilities, lacking confidence in caregiving skills, and resenting demands placed on your time, are a few predominate feelings experienced. As the day-to-day demands increase, you seek respite care, but no one seems to understand the specialized needs of your loved one. Looking for providers with dementia care experience is often challenging and frustrating.

Many Americans own many homes outside of their primary residence, including a winter home, a vacation home, a cabin, a motor home, a houseboat, a yacht, a sail boat, a motorboat, a tent, a camper…. All of which are extensions of home and add to the progression of junk, clutter and stuff. There is no wonder why moving and relocation is such a dreaded task. All of that stuff is fine and dandy until you have to move it. Remember that accumulation gets worse if every little thing in every nook and cranny has sentimental value. The common rule of knowing when to dispose items is: If you have not used it or worn it in the past year, you probably don't need it. Even if you think you do need it, could it be that you have too much stuff? Conceding to that is easy, but embracing the work involved in sorting and packing up some of it from closets, attic, garage and self-storage to put on a sale is a lot to do. One suggestion, which does not include having an exhausting garage sale, moving sale, estate sale or yard sale is to call Junque Ladies Free Estate Property Disposal – Estate Sales, a community charity event. When they finish removing unwanted items or leftovers, you will feel relieved. Everybody feels better when clutter is removed. Before you call the Junque Ladies, make sure what you want to get rid of. Unless the items, whether clothes or furniture, are without soil, tears and breakage, they will not pick it up. Like many free pickup services, they salvage items for recycle and sale in lieu of payment. So things that should go in the trash have no value to anyone. These are hard working senior ladies, but they cannot "fix things." They donate over half of your unwanted clothing and household items, that they packup and pickup, to individuals and families in need. For example, when a family has lost everything in a fire, and they had relatively nice things, it would be hurtful to offer them something that no one else wants. It's just common sense. The Junque Ladies have recognized a need in the community and are doing their best to meet it. They do not have a thrift store so are limited in what they can accept. However, they can make arrangements to dispose of good bedroom suites, living room furniture and working appliances. After a family member dies, there is usually a mountain of estate property leftovers such as books, clothes, hats, purses, dishes and kitchenware, home accessories, etc., which is costly to move and store—anywhere. Eventually, all of our dwellings will be downsized and estate property will be disposed. If you are looking for a good cause to help that is focused on Giving and not profits, call or email Junque Ladies Free Estate Property Disposal – Estate Sales. They specialize in removing unwanted items and free home junk removal in southwest metro Atlanta. 770-347-7902 junqueladiespropertydisposal@gmail.com Blogger Resource:http://www.collegeparkwebcity.com ...read more
