Ensuring senior members of your family receive the professional care, treatment and dignity that they deserve in their latter years, especially if they are in need of constant care and attention with the onset of Alzheimer’s or any other chronic or debilitating condition, is of paramount importance to younger members of the family, especially if those younger members are the children of the person suffering.

Senior Care Services Virginia based company Ready Hands Inc offer a home based care service for elderly clients that need more assistance than the family or that person can give.

One reads about and hears and sees on the news less compassionate care that one would never want for members of your family, and it is to this end that Granger Benson founded Ready Hands Inc in 2002, to provide a complete compassionate and accountable home care service, having had experiences with elderly patients where he had practiced previously in the capacity of an internal medicine physician.

Senior care services Virginia based company Ready Hands operates in Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William County and Stafford County, parts of Loudoun County and the Fredericksburg area, and the company founding philosophy which remains to this day the foundation and cornerstones of the company, is simply “to help our clients remain safely independent in a residential setting”.

Ready Hands is well on the way to becoming the premier senior and eldercare service company in the region, and in all instances Doctor Benson personally oversees the individual assessment of each client to ensure that each receives a unique care package tailored to their very individual needs, depending on the circumstances of the client.

Dr.

Benson is dedicated full-time to making Ready Hands the best senior care service of its kind in the region. Often he personally performs initial assessment visits for clients, and in all cases he familiarizes himself with the needs of each client. Physician involvement also means that Ready Hands employees get the guidance they need to safely assist and care for clients who live with chronic illness or disability.

The professional caring staff, under the guidance of Dr. Benson, ensures clients receive a tailored care package safely and independently in a residential setting. Familiarity with a warm and comforting environment for the homecare services is one of the special references and cornerstones of Ready Hands.

Independent home care aides that are placed with clients are all W2 employees and not independent contractors, therefore the means and methods of Ready Hands can be monitored at the ‘hands on’ part of the care package operation.

Toddlers with thrush are not happy toddlers! If your toddler has those tell-tale white patches of yeast overgrowth on the tongue, inside the cheeks and/or on the gums, then you know your child has thrush. Without the right approach, toddler’s thrush can be tricky to treat, as the yeast cells are quite adaptable and resilient.

Toddlers’ thrush has become increasingly more common for many reasons, two of the most important being use of antibiotics combined with excessive sugar (even fruit juice) and refined carbohydrates in the diet.

If your toddler has been prescribed antibiotics even one time, or even if he or she was exposed to antibiotics during labor and delivery, then your child’s natural yeast defenses were practically wiped out. This means that your child is at increased risk not only for thrush, but other infections as well – such as colds and flus, ear infections and even bacterial blood infections, which are quite rare but can be fatal.

If you take your toddler to the pediatrician, they’ll probably suggest you treat your toddler’s thrush with a prescription anti-fungal such as Diflucan or Nystatin.

However, Diflucan and other common anti-fungals carry the risks of serious side effects (even seizures and liver failure.) Personally, I would only use them in the case of a true medical emergency.

While Nystatin is not as toxic, it does carry the risk of causing the yeast to mutate into a more difficult-to-treat form. Nystatin is also not effective for many cases of thrush, as they yeast cells are often resistant to it. Another problem with Nystatin is that it is mixed with sugar to make it palatable enough to use for toddler’s thrush, but yeast loves sugar! Some moms find the thrush gets even worse with the use of Nystatin.

With over 15 years of experience in the natural health industry, I’ve found that – by far – the best way to treat toddlers’ thrush is with a simply, natural and holistic approach that not only gets rid of the yeast quickly and permanently, but also cures the underlying imbalance that allowed the yeast to grow out of control in the first place.

This also means your child will enjoy better health including increased immunity and decreased risk for allergies and asthma.

Self-improvement? That’s so last year…

Every year it’s the same. Wait. Not every year. Every first-day-of-the-month it’s the same, every day-after-my-birthday, every day after Halloween, every Monday and, worst of all, every January 1: time to make resolutions. I will not eat sugar. I will be patient with my kids. I will not be late for work. I will exercise an hour a day. I will quit drinking Starbucks grande soy-no-water-Tazo-chai (see how that just rolled off the tongue)? Every Imaginable landmark date is the same. It’s time to make resolutions. And every day-after-landmark-date it’s the same: Fail.

So I find myself asking, as 2010 makes its final descent and I espy on the horizon the hopeful rays of a new decade. Why? Why do I keep making resolutions when all I do, over and over again is colossally a fail? I’ve been trying to quit Starbucks and lose my “baby weight” since 2005, just to give you an idea.

I’m sure psychologists are brimming with explanations for those of us who are obsessive resolution makers: something about self-sabotage, perfectionism, fear of success, fear of failure, fear of change.

But let’s not blame ourselves. We do enough of that. Its Western culture’s fault, and I’ll blame skinny models too, and the people who put them on the runway, and Starbucks and whoever invented Mondays.

I have had enough of resolutions I can’t keep. So I’m taking a stand. This January 1 begins the dawn of a new age the age of the attainable resolution. Are you with me?

Here are my attainable resolutions for 2011 and I think 7 is a good number. As I write these, I’ll have you know that I am sipping a grande soy-no-water-Tazo-chai with great gusto.

1. I will lose weight. Digital scales are overrated. To start 2011 off right, I’m going to buy an old-fashioned scale that lets you turn the dial as far back as you want to. I’m thinking 15 pounds will do it. I will also weigh myself with my fat cat, so I can blame any apparent weight gain on him. In between weigh-ins, I will attempt to eat more vegetables and less sugar. Doable.
2. I will quit Starbucks. As with any drug addiction, quitting chailattes is my impossible dream. But I’m actually going to do it this year. Twenty-one times. Doable.
3. I will be more patient with my children. As of January 1, my new mantra will be ‘”They are not the boss of me.” When I feel the buds of impatience blooming, I will take deep breaths if possible, as I am sitting cross-legged, with my index fingers to my thumbs and repeat my mantra. Then I will tackle them with tickles. If that doesn’t work, I will eat cake. Doable.
4. I will not be late for things. Being late is one of my worst flaws and everyone’s pet peeve. So something has to be done this year. Aside from waking up 20 minutes earlier in the morning (reluctantly doable), I will assign my wife her own attainable New Year’s resolution of kicking her husband out of the house on time. She will enjoy this resolution. Doable.
5. More quality me-time. As a dad of two kids, ages three and five, all I want to do at the end of the day, when they are finally tucked into bed, is collapse in front of some reality TV with my cat and a bowl of Carbs. Before I know it, it’s past midnight and that novel I’m attempting to read continues to collect dust on my night table. This year I will get off the couch an hour earlier, watch MTV in bed and read ambitious novels during the commercials. My cat actually prefers the bed. Doable.
6. I will make mistakes. Doable, but there’s more. I will make mistakes and I will not berate myself for making mistakes. Instead of berating myself, I will berate my puppy while giving her belly rubs and a cookie. Doable.
7. I will break boundaries. The dawn of a new decade is exciting – the perfect time to make real, sustainable changes. I will stop making unattainable resolutions. I will take risks, get crazy, fly, spin, trust, and frolic with my kids. I will take life in and savor it, finding freedom and happiness where they’re actually attainable – on the inside. Doable.
