Staffing Shortages in Nursing Homes

I have come across more articles about staffing shortages in nursing homes and all levels of assisted living lately, so I thought I would share this article from The Hill that emphasizes some issues we want to be aware of as we are staying health so we can stay in our homes as long as we choose to.

Protecting Our Feet in the Summertime.

As always, foot health is a top priority and this article from the American Podiatric Medical Association has a lot of helpful information to keep our feet healthy this summer.

And One More Thing

Continuing with staying healthy in the summer, here is some valuable information highlighting we should continue to use sunscreen as we age. Even though much damage has been done to our skin earlier in our lives, we can still prevent skin issues from arising and becoming more serious as we age. Much more valuable information on this from the Skin Cancer Foundation in the article below.
