Starting Fresh

12:18 am/by Tony Plummer

By Katie Tantillo, MS Chief Operation Officer   As we enter the Spring season, we welcome the warmer weather, longer days, and renewed sense of life and growth. What we don’t welcome is the inevitable spring cleaning that typically comes during the next few weeks. Putting away all the winter clothing, bringing out the deck […]

Where To Live as I Age

4:02 pm/by Tony Plummer

By Tony Plummer, MS As a young man getting ready to be married, one of the most important things to figure out was where we would live. My fiancé and I looked at apartments and settled on a great little condo that was a perfect starter home. One kid came along, and we quickly outgrew […]

Foot Health for Seniors

1:42 pm/by Tony Plummer

While waiting for the elevator at my mom’s retirement building, I overheard two residents discussing the need for a podiatrist to come to the building. This made me think about the importance of foot care in the elderly. For me, when my feet hurt my whole body suffers.  As we age, problems with our feet […]

Retired But Want To Make A Difference?

4:38 pm/by Tony Plummer

Many people work their entire lives working toward the golden promise of retirement. Some even have retirement “countdown clocks” that number the remaining days of one’s career. In fact, there is a growing movement of FIRE folks, whose goal is to reach Financial Independence and Retire Early.   Yet, when retirement finally comes, it often […]

Durable Medical Equipment On A Budget

4:44 pm/by Tony Plummer

It is an issue that families face on a daily basis in Georgia and across the country. Finding that a loved one needs a wheelchair, walker, bedside commode, or some other medical device and not having the funds to purchase good equipment. Back in the 1980s, this was a problem just as it is now. […]

Chaplain Services

12:49 pm/by Tony Plummer

Having been in the senior care field for a quarter of a century, we have become accustomed to never saying (or even thinking), “We’ve seen it all.” In fact, we have come to expect to see and experience new things in home care because of the nature of crisis that often times accompanies the need […]

Support Groups

8:33 am/by Tony Plummer

Family Private Care realizes the value of support groups that are focused on helping people deal with and process the sometimes nasty stuff life throws our way. Anything from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, to loss of a loved one can be a very heavy burden to bear alone. We have certainly experienced that being a […]

When HO! HO! HO! Isn’t Enough

5:51 pm/by Tony Plummer

Holidays bring lots of emotions with them—anticipation, happiness, guilt, excitement, joy, frustration, sadness, loneliness, loss, and grief to name just a few.  The bad news is that the holidays aren’t like a dump cake where you just put everything in, and it all comes out all right.  The good news is that we can maneuver […]
