News on aging.

You’ve likely heard someone say, “Are you counting the days or making the days count?”  This type of question is really all about assessing the quality of one’s life.  Elders can be especially vulnerable to major shifts in their quality of life because so many circumstances contribute to living a full life or not in this season of life.  Sometimes it takes an intuitive loved one to recognize the signs of an elder that is struggling in this way.  Here are a few critical questions that you can use to have regular “check-ins” with your loved one to ensure their quality of life is at its best.

Daughters express their gratitude to PineCrest staff for touching their mother's life. "The years proceeding her coming to PineCrest were very difficult.  She endured a lot of physical, emotional and mental pain and hardship.  Her spirit was dismal, at best.  Aftercoming to PineCrest and getting settled in, Mom's life turned around.  She came alive and regained her awesome sense of humor and sweet spirit.  I know her final years were happy ones and I will forever be thankful."
