My Friend's New House

Our family visited friends in Fort Worth today.  After an enjoyable ride on the train at Trinity Park and fun at the Zoo, we head on for a get-together dinner at my girl friend's house.  She and her husband bought a new house in town and we saw it for the first time.  I was very happy to see my friends again.  

It's a two-storey house with five bedrooms.  Yes it is huge and beautiful!  Her father-in-law already moved here in Texas and is living with them now.  Because of his age, the couple had a stairlift installed on the stairs.  It's a very helpful equipment for elderly especially for those with disabilities.  

It was really nice to see my darling daughter loves being with the girls.  They missed her.  :)  They went up and down the stairs.  She even rode the stairlift and wanted to go some more.  Hahaha!

A Big Help Getting Back Onto The Road Of Independence

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am glad my cousin is enjoying her pregnancy, like I do. Like me, she is now staying at home also. My cousin was working as a caregiver somewhere in North Texas. But when she began getting abdominal pains (pregnant at that time), she quit working.

If you think the job of a caregiver is easy, think again. You need to have an enduring energy to be able to perform the job. Attending patients or elderly residents in an assisted living home requires a lot of walking even climbing stairs. Elderly patients really need care giving assistance. And so are the disabled people.

But people with disability can still go the outdoors with the help of NMEDA or National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association. It is the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. NMEDA dealers are the one who sell handicap van and vehicle modifications, not the association itself. They also help in training or product refinement. Besides NMEDA dealers, the association also has the Quality Assurance Program which is based on the principle that, companies must possess a systematic and documented approach to quality. It is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry.

Sure is, care giving is tough. But with a NMEDA certified dealer, an elderly or disabled can get back onto the road of independence. Do you know of somebody who needs assistance from NMEDA? You can be of help, too. Visit www.nmeda.org and simply type in your zip code to locate a qualified dealer near you. Do not forget to leave a comment here after doing so.

For Elderly's Convenience

It is just natural to think about our family's welfare. I do not know with others but, I have the sense of responsibility in me. I want to help as possibly as I can. But in this point of time, my resources are limited.

I have an elderly living with my family back home. He is my grandpa. And I love him. I do not want him to be sick. That is why we take care of him at home. He is still strong and capable of doing things his way. In fact, he still tends his farm. But time passes by quickly. He is not getting any younger either. We want him to enjoy life too. From personal necessities like walk-in bath tub to simple travels like relaxing at the beach, my grandpa will be pleased. The idea of a walk in tub is not bad. We just have to be very careful and learn more about it especially on tub safety measures.
