non-medical in home care

Please excuse me for going off of our month long topic of Reminiscence this week, but I am too excited not to blog about an important day for Sitters Etc.  On January 31, 2010, Sitters Etc. celebrated its 8th birthday!   Many of you will not be able to completely comprehend how important this day is for Beau and me.  But please indulge me as I attempt to explain.

Many elderly persons rely entirely on their children, family members or other trusted individuals to help them. This dependence upon caregivers or family members makes an older person more vulnerable to abuse and financial exploitation. Legal arrangements and protective actions by family may be necessary to shield loved ones from making bad decisions or from being taken advantage of.
