Wow What a Week

It's another busy week.  Yesterday I spent the whole morning at a Senior Fair that was held at a local church.  I made lots of great contacts and found many resources.  Here are just a few:

www.gentletransitions.com 
This a  moving company specializing in planning and coordinating your move.  They work in conjunction with a mover, but they take care of the details.  They help change service address for utilities and really help people figure out how to downsize in the least stressful way.  When they leave your new dwelling, everything will be unpacked, the beds will be made, the lamps plugged in, the clocks set, and the electronics in working order.  They have been around a long time and understand the emotional upset behind moving and work with the clients to fully support them.  Amazing.

www.familymeans.org 
Family Means provides respite care, caregiver support groups, caregiver coaching/counseling, and education programs.  They serve the Washington County (MN) and St Croix County (WI) areas.  They are a partner with United Way.  If you are not in these counties and need services, please contact the United Way. 

www.sttheresemn.org 
St Therese at St Odilia is a relatively new facility in Shoreview MN.  They offer Palliative Care, Hospice Care, and Spiritual Care.  The facility is an 8 bedroom home with 24 hour on-site nursing care.  It looks really beautiful and the representative that I met was delightful.
