Posts Tagged ‘Eldercare’

I was recently invited to attend a dinner in which Eva Church of Austin Groups for the Elderly was one of several older adults recognized for their volunteer efforts. Eva was being recognized for her efforts on the AGE board of directors.  And as everyone knows Eva is an icon in the Austin elder care scene.  Although it was a stormy evening in Austin the table was full of Eva’s cheerleaders. The meal was amazing, of course you would expect that from the Querencia at Barton Creek, and if the food is anything to go by this place is outstanding.

Eva now runs the Caregiver Resource Center at AGE. They are a great resource for those folks looking for information on elder care issues. The resource center, which is located at 38th & Cedar Street,  also boasts a loan closet for durable medical equipment and a lending library. The lending library is a great idea for those of us who don’t know what books are available and would rather not spend a lot of money on books that may not apply to your specific situation.

If you see Eva around congratulate her on her accomplishment!

Hi, I’m Samantha Young and I started Practical Care over 9 years ago. I got to Austin as fast as I could and have lived here for over 30 years but who’s counting. I root for the University of Texas football team and spend my days keeping my young boys out of trouble. For over 20 years I have been helping people with elder-care issues. From Nursing home administration to adult day care to home care I have seen it all. For the past 10 years I have been running my own company which helps older adults stay independent and at home with dignity. I love what I do! Especially sharing information that helps families breath easier and older adults live healthier happier lives.

Follow my blog, I promise I’ll always post interesting and relevant information. And please let me know how I am doing. If you have questions or need resources let me know. If I don’t know something I can always find someone who does.
