You may decide that a care or residential home may be a good option for your loved one. They will be able to get round the clock support and care if they need it. This will be useful if you have a lot of demands on your time from your career and family and are unable to offer this level of support yourself.
Visit any homes that you are interested along with the family member who will be moving there. Try and get a feel for the place and the way that it is run. Talk to some of the staff and get a sense of the ethos.
Look for opportunities for socializing. If there is a lot on in the home, it will ensure your loved one is mentally engaged and has activities that they enjoy and can look forward to.
Caring For Your Loved One In Their Home
You could, of course, opt to care for your loved one in their own home. Provided they have a degree of independence and are able to be left alone from time-to-time, this could be a good option.
Try and create a schedule where you call in at set times of the day to help out with meals, bathing, or assisting with medication. If you have a few members of your family who are able to help, then be sure you divide this up between you. If you have a set time that you all pop around, this may be helpful to you all.
You may be able to get a healthcare professional to call in and see them on a daily basis too and provide at-home care. This can help lighten the burden on you and your family.
Caring For Your Loved One In Your Home
A cheaper and more convenient care option might be to let your loved one come and live with you. Of course, you would need to be happy doing this as they will be with much more of the time and there will be more work involved.
Whichever option you choose, you should make every effort to look after yourself throughout. There is a lot of stress and hard work involved in caring for someone. Taking care of yourself will make sure that you are able to do this effectively.

There has been many bath and beauty products over the years geared towards women, teens, and young girls but all the products seem to be the same old thing and have bored a few young girls so much they decided to take matters into their own hands and create a product that not only makes you smell good, but makes you feel good too.
Angels and Tomboys was created by Madison Star & Mallory Iyana after being bored senseless with their body care products.
We had this cool idea to make everyday products that girls use fun. We came up with fun names, characters and unique fragrances for these products and pitched the idea to our mom. She loved it and the rest is history in the making. Our mom named the company Angels and Tomboys as a reflection of our unique and complex personalities and interests. We’re just like every girl in the world because ALL girls are created equally different. Plus, we can all agree that every Angel has a bit of Tomboy in her.
We created Angels and Tomboys so that you can have a product made just for you. If you’re anything like us, and we’re certain that you are, you are tired of wearing your mom’s boring perfume and it’s probably too flowery, too expensive and way too strong. Well, Angels and Tomboys® is just right. Our paraben free, patent pending, vegan friendly formula contains several great vitamins to preserve young skin. It’s a must-have for EVERY girl and every parent can feel good about it. Our fun and unique scents encourage you to be proud, be bold and be you. Love being a girl…because all girls are created equally different.
A little about these young entrepreneur:

She likes to collect purses, stickers and bottle caps and can dance, sing and act…She is an honor student, who loves to give back.
Not only does my company donate a portion of proceeds to non profit organizations that focuses on the well-beings of girls, I also volunteer throughout my community and every year for my birthday party I ask attendees to gift me with an item that I can donate to charity. Thus far I’ve donated hundreds of coats and shoes to a women’s shelter in my hometown, Memphis.

It’s so great to see such young girls with so much drive and social conciousness. They have a great start and can’t wait to see what they produce in the future!
About the product:
I was sent 3 delicious scents to try out…Deep Fried Ice Cream, Cotton Candied Apples, & Adventures. But they have so many other scents that will appeal to any personality like Rockin’ Blueberry, Lemonade Doughnuts, & Watermelon Funk just to name a few. I don’t have any girls of my own, but I have three nieces who absolutely love these and will totally be spoiled with whatever scents they want. They come in lotions & body sprays and smell, well, amazing! I’m actually wearing the Cotton Candied Apples right now and can’t stop smelling myself.

Nationwide is the PowerTalk 21 national presenting sponsor, and the GM Foundation is the national supporting partner.
Ahh, it’s the weekend time to sit back relax and have a few drinks…but If your kids are like mine they are always asking what your drinking and why if it’s bad, do I do it. You might think they are too young to understand “adult drinks” & the dangers of underage drinking, but, research shows children start weighing the pros and cons of underage drinking as early as age 8.
We’re sure to discuss the effects and why it is an adult only drink every time, even with our younger ones who are more of the inquisitive ones. I was a proud member of SADD when in high school and am proud to be working with MADD to share their Power of Parents program!
MADD developed its Power of Parents® program to help parents feel more confident about talking with their children about the dangers of underage drinking. PowerTalk 21®, April 21st, is the annual day for parents to start talking with their children about alcohol.
To help you out in this talk MADD created the new Power of Parents handbook for parents of middle schoolers (grades 6-8) to equip them to have early, intentional and ongoing conversations about alcohol with their kids. The Power of Parents high school (grades 9-12) handbook helps evolve the conversation as children mature and their perceptions about alcohol change.
To download your FREE handbook or register for a FREE online webinar on this topic Visit http://bit.ly/1bS66wL! You can also learn how to get involved in your local community and view the infographic.
You can enter to win prizes (an Apple Watch Sport grand prize) by downloading the free handbook or registering for the online webinar on April 21st.
A MADD and Nationwide Survey showed that one-third of parents believe the ages they should start talking with their children about alcohol are 14-18, in high school. But, research shows children start weighing the pros and cons of underage drinking as early as age 8.
One in four middle school students have tried alcohol by the end of 8th grade.
Parents remain the biggest influence on their teens not to drink, even more so than their teens’ friends.
Teens are 80 percent less likely to drink if parents deliver a clear no alcohol before 21 message.
A common misperception is that drugs are the leading harm when alcohol is still the number one drug of choice of youth and underage drinking kills more people than all other illegal drugs combined.
