Day: November 30, 2015

In the spirit of thankfulness and as we approach the full gale of the holiday season, here are some true heroes to keep in mind: family caregivers. Some astounding figures according to AARP (American Association of Retired Persons):

  • 39.8 million Americans – 16.6 % of the population – are giving unpaid care to an adult.
  • If provided by paid workers, this care would cost $470 billion annually.
  • 18% of caregivers take care of two or more adults.
  • 13% of caregivers are assisting a friend or neighbor.
  • 2 million Americans care for their own adult children.
  • 40% of caregivers are men.
  • 7% of caregivers live more than two hours away from the person they help.

Just published for National Family Caregivers Month, November, 2015, here are some tips for respite: http://caregiveraction.org/national-family-caregivers-month.  “Respite” is relief or rest for the caregiver.  Giving a gift of respite to those who care for others is a wonderful way to show them they are appreciated and not forgotten.

Happy and Restful Holidays

Jan was nothing short of amazing in her verbal dominance of the other side in depositions and trial arguments. Let’s say I am very glad she was on my side of the table. At the conclusion of my case the judge looked at me and said, hope you appreciate the Herculean effort that your lawyers gave in this case. Believe me I did! That’s just how they roll.
