My Grandma is 89 Now

My grandma turned 89 years old on July 17th and we took her out to dinner for her birthday. Here she is with my kids, her great-grandchildren:

Funny thing is, she paid for dinner; she is stubborn like that sometimes, still wants to take care of everyone. She is at that age where she cannot do as much for others or herself and it is definitely time we take care of her, but she still wants to be independent. Right now she lives with my mom, so she is lucky in that respect.

I have a friend in New Jersey who has a grandmother in the same sort of situation; too old to do some things but not too old to still care for herself. Unfortunately, she does not have family to live with and living alone in an apartment is a bit too much for her to handle. I told my girlfriend to look into new jersey elder care because there are places that actually have people visit those who live alone and help them with their daily routine.

With this type of nj senior care, such as Visiting Angels, older people do not have to feel forced out of their homes and into nursing homes or into senior housing. This solution is good for those who need part-time or full-time assistance, help after surgery or just help with every day tasks.
