This month we have an inspiring story about Peter Buttacavoli - someone who went back to getting in shape after turning 60. As they say “you are never too old...”. You will find his story to be inspirational as well as amazing.

My wife and I continue with our exercise program of working out 2-3 times per week. Slowly but surely we are seeing the benefits. You may very well find the article on exercise bands helpful. These easy to use aids can be an excellent way to start your own low impact and safe exercise program. We hope these stories will give you the impetus to find ways to improve your own health.

Many people talk about doing something to save the planet, but we have someone who actually is doing it in his own small way. Our story on Steve Domitrecz’ home conversion to solar energy takes some of the mystery out of the subject.

I recently participated in a “virtual dementia tour” and it was quite an experience. The article on my experience relates how it alters your perception of this awful disease. An additional story on dementia gives you an idea of just how insidious the disease can be.

This month we have a list of amusing and clever bumper stickers as well as our usual mixture of the funny and the unusual. Our “Boost Your Brainpower” has been a popular feature so we have even more ways to maintain a healthy mind as well as body.

Lastly, check out the mayonnaise jar story. It is an excellent metaphor for how you can view life and live a bit more easily. Enjoy this issue and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Visiting Angels Lehigh Valley

When it comes to your care there are so many choices-nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health agencies (nursing agencies), home care agencies and more. However, only you can choose what's right for you.

At VISITING ANGELS, we know that it isn't easy to make the decision to invite a caregiver into your home to provide homecare for loved ones who can no longer be safely left alone.

You'll have the opportunity to interview and select any caregiver who we refer to you.  You'll only accept a caregiver that you feel totally comfortable with.  When you meet our caregivers, you're going to be pleasantly surprised to see that at VISITING ANGELS, character matters!
