BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | killing 2 birds with 1 stone! I just had to share this with you all! I'm at work right now, I take care of 2 elderly ladies who both have Alzheimer's. I'm at the dining room table with both of them making bows for the Y Fair and there both just watching me and getting such a tickle out of the finished bow! The one Francis, she lines them all up and after I get one done she will say " awww now that one is so cute" LOL I'm just getting a kick out of them!! Here are my sweet ladies I care for! Francis is the 1st pic and Virgina is the 2nd. They both are 87 yrs old! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How wonderful for you to take care of them. I am taking care of my Dad who is 87 and has dementia, but it is unde control pretty well right now. I fell so bad for elderly people who have no one to care for them. We need more people like you!!

| They are just beautiful and they look so sweet I didn't know that was your job, I have so much respect for the people that do your work You tell them that I think they are both very pretty and DO NOT look 87 years old~ |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | No, I take care of them at my parents home. They live with my parents. My parents added 2 rooms onto there home just for this business. My mom has been taking care of the elderly for over 15 yrs now. This is the alternative to a nursing home. |

| wow.. your mother is a saint! and how nice for a family to have that option... it must be very hard to put a parent in a nursing home but to have your parents as an option must be such a relief! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I agree you are doing such a great thing...your mom has provided some very pretty ladies with a nice home enviornment ...that's the way all our elderly should be treated. They're just beautiful women and I can see very happy with your mom and you. not to mention great bow helpers lol - |

No Longer a Member | Wow! I never knew there was such personal care available. That is good to know that there are good people who can be counted on to take care of your loved ones when they need help we aren't equipped to give them. The idea of nursing homes sound so scary--you hear such terrible stories. |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I'm just glad we can keep at least 2 elderly out of the nursing home! Don't get me wrong, this is a very stressful job, your there 24/7 and if you want to leave, then you have to arrange for the care to come into the home and care for them. My parents bless there heart, they havent had a vacation in 15 years or better. I'm hoping to change that soon. Francis was in a nursing home before she came to be with us over a year ago. I went to visit her before she moved in and all she talked about was how she was locked up and they wouldnt let her out. She always said the food was so bad and you could just see how unhappy she was. Now she is like a new woman! We take them out shopping and out to eat and they just love it! We have a big enclosed porch and they just love sitting out there and enjoying the birds singing. My parents even has put squirrel food up on there deck just so the ladies can watch them come up and eat. The familes of these 2 ladies are just so overwhelmed with the care they get! We already have people on a waiting list! |
