Problems and Some Solutions…Or the Peppermint Twist?

Did you know that two of the biggest problems in Independent and Assisted Living are STD’s and drinking?  Here are two articles, one from AARP and one from the New York Times.

STD Rates Keep Rising for Older Adults

New Old Age: Drinkers in Assisted Living

It appears as if we DO have something to look forward to in our old age. Returning to dorm life hasn’t changed a bit since I was listening to “Benny and the Jets” while drinking peppermint schnapps and waiting to sneak my boyfriend up the back stairs of DeChantal Hall.

Even Dorothy knew this was coming……….and I don’t mean the Wizard of Oz………..

I have no solutions to these problems, but now that I have your attention, I just want you to know that we will be discussing lots of problems AND SOLUTIONS at this great Caregivers Conference in Philly on November 3rd.  And there will be two Keynote Speakers in charge of the laughs. Yes, I’m one of them. Dr. Ruth was busy that day.

Come to the conference. It’s only $25 for a ticket and that includes breakfast and lunch…in PHILLY? Do you think you can get breakfast and lunch for 25 bucks anywhere in Philly? Ask Rachael Ray, she’ll tell you, that’s a deal. And SO MUCH GREAT INFO, and meeting great people.

See you there! I might have a bottle of peppermint schnapps in my conference tote. Meet me in the little girls’ room. After my Keynote, I am a professional.

“You Just Have to Laugh… and get to the Conference!
