2017 Spring
Spring Cleaning Tips
A cluttered environment can lead to accidents from trips or falls, causing injury to you or your provider. Also, emergency personnel may have a difficult time getting to you in a time of need.
Community Resource Highlight: Senior Center Without Walls
Participants call a toll free phone number from the comfort of home to join in activities. No special equipment is needed and the calls are completely free.
Managing Your Care Providers
Consumers have the choice to select who works for them and, also, the right to terminate an independent provider’s employment, if necessary. However, when issues arise with a care provider, terminating employment may not be the only (or the best) option.
Fun Activities on a Budget
Savor the milder spring sun, blossoming trees, flowers, and gentle warm breezes, while enjoying fun, relaxing activities.
The Importance of Self-Advocacy
The key component of self-advocacy is communicating your needs, however you can.
A Note From IHSS
