Good Ideas for Golden ?Years?

Do you have an elderly person visiting or living in your home? If so, here are a few things you can do for them. When older folks come to visit, a rolled-up bath towel slipped inside a pillow case makes a handy neck support to ensure a good night's sleep. Print your address and phone number in big easy-to-read letters and keep it in their wallet or purse during their stay. That way they'll always be able to find their way home and be able phone you in an emergency. If they are traveling with you, put a hotel matchbook in their pocket or purse for the same reason. For home, buy a wireless doorbell chime and place it somewhere that is centrally located. Then install the button in their bedroom so they can summon help in a hurry -- day or night. In the bath, put non-slip rubber strips on the top edge of the tub where one grips. This prevents their wet hands from slipping when they get up. A loving thought goes a long way, especially in one's golden years. And that's the On The House tip for today.
