As May 1^st approaches, we are excited to see our local community prepare for lemonade stands and business. Our young entrepreneurs make final preparations and plans for Lemonade Day 2011. At Homecare By Design, we decided to share some fun facts about our company and entrepreneurial advice with the group. We included a fun activity sheet in their yellow backpacks. For those who were unable to receive this addition, we have posted the file here to download and print. Enjoy and, again, best of luck and success to all the participants opening and running their lemonade business.

Today’s Caregiver posted a nice article from Susan Leck recalling her fight with a shower chair. She shared how she tried to squeeze a chair that was too large into a shower that was too small for her late husband, Bud. The bathroom had been small and they made do with what they had, however this story is a very common tale. Most seniors want to live independently for as long as they can in their own home, but many changes need to happen for that to be a possibility. The key word is, “accessibility.”

Thanks to Employee Benefit Solutions of Indiana, one of our wonderful caregivers decided to share this information with the rest of the Homecare By Design members. And with Spring here and Summer right around the corner, it is increasingly important to drink the vital amount of water! Yes, our good friend Mr. H₂O hosts a large number of health benefits that we must remind ourselves daily.
