VISITING ANGELS A GODSEND W

here do you turn when your aging parents need assistance that you are unable to provide? That’s the dilemma with which Midlothian resident Emerson Freeman was faced. His 89-year-old mother, Emma, had been hospitalized last September. Upon her release, she needed a level of care that her 84-year-old husband was physically unable to provide. Emma’s husband asked their son to make a decision that many are forced to make…ensuring appropriate care for one’s aging parent(s). “For my mother,” Freeman recalled, “it was either go to a nursing home or come to live with us. We had to explore our options.” A nursing home was not acceptable; “We wanted my mother in our home.” Both Freeman and his wife work full-time and his mother needed 24-hour-a-day care. “My wife did the research and discovered Visiting Angels,” Freeman said. Visiting Angels is an inhome elder care provider with locations across the nation, but locally owned. Freeman admitted that he had some initial concerns. “I was worried about having a

stranger in our house,” he said. “How would she treat my mother?” The Freemans contacted the local Visiting Angels, (804-423-6500; 2405 Dovercourt Dr., Midlothian) “They sent a staff Registered Nurse,” Freeman continued. “She gave us an overall understanding of their services, their mission and their goals. She interviewed my mother and made an assessment of her needs.” In addition to physical limitations, his mother was beginning to experience some dementia. Freeman is especially appreciative of Visiting Angels determination to ensure that the family, especially his mother, were comfortable with the caregiver. “They (Visiting Angels) told me that if my mother was not comfortable I should not hesitate to let them know,” he explained. “Their honesty and understanding that not everyone jives meant a lot to me. They didn’t try to force a square peg into a round hole.” The first couple of caregivers were not an ideal match. “But there was no discouragement or frustration,” he said. “They told me, ‘We understand that you want the best for your mother. We want that too.’” Then, towards the end of September, Visiting Angels sent Lynnae. “Everything is going great,” Freeman said, praising the dedication and professionalism of his mother’s “Visiting Angel.” He said that there are certain things his mother still enjoys doing such as helping to fold the laundry and water the plants. Lynnae helps his mother to do such things. She also prepares meals for his mother “She’s become more than a friend to my mother. She’s part of the family.” Freeman had special commendation for Jamie and Tricia, who work in the office, and whom he praised for their expertise and compassion in ensuring his family’s needs were met. “I have no hesitation in recommending Visiting Angels to anyone faced with similar circumstances. When I was a child, my mother gave me the best care. That’s what I want for her. Visiting Angels has been a Godsend.” Visiting Angels is owned and operated by Midlothian resident, Tammy Atkinson. She has dedicated her life to enhancing the lives of seniors by providing the highest quality care for her clients. Atkinson’s most recent endeavor is dayBREAKS Adult Day Center, which shares the same building as Visiting Angels in the neighborhood of Salisbury. dayBREAKS offers day time care and activities to seniors. For more information, phone Visiting Angels in Midlothian at 804-423-6500 or visit online at VisitingAngels. com/richmondva. dayBREAKS can be reached at 804-419-0999 or online at daybreaksva.com

SHE SAID,“SHE SHED” by Steve Cook

he ladies have spoken. The days of the drab tool shed sitting out in the backyard are gone. Mark Longenecker, with Sheds Unlimited in Pennsylvania explains, “The designs of our buildings have proven to be so popular with women that some men order a shed for their backyard as a storage building and after it arrives, their wives don’t want to let them use the shed for storage anymore.” Yes, it’s time to shed any previously held notions or conceptions you may have. Take a look and see just some of the creative ways that today’s designing women are using their she sheds. Having your very own she shed is relatively simple. Deciding just how you want to use it, may take a little planning and imagination. There are virtually no limits to the myriads of uses and styles that you may desire. For inspiration, search “she sheds” online. You’ll find dozens of Pinterest pages offering a variety of inspiring images. Your “Google” search will also turn up plenty of additional websites where you will discover some she shed ideas that you may never have considered. We were especially impressed with Donna Jenkins shed, which she calls “The Hobby House.” Donna’s shed was built for her own personal use. “I didn’t have any inspiration to speak of,” she says. “I literally just laid out my doors and decided how they went together. It sort of happened organically. I did all of the construction myself. My husband helped me with the four corners — getting the posts in the ground, true and straight and then again with the rafters. I personally did everything else myself with the millwork we had accumulated during our homes renovations.” Donna will be debuting her own website/online store (TinkerHouseTradingCompany.com) in mid-July. She says, “I have been gathering artisan made wares that are inspired by a life in the garden. I have been focused on small American companies and cottage industries. We will also be hosting workshops and events to teach everything from flower arranging, paper flower arts and other similar things.” Another website that offered inspiration is Kelly Morse’s MontanaHappy.com, which epitomizes the beauty of “Life Made Simple.” On her site, Kelly shares a pair of sheds that she discovered while on a garden tour. “The garden alone was so beautiful,” she says, “but when I saw the pair of she sheds it was pure magic.” If you’ve got the ideas but not the know-how to build your very own shed, there are local builders who specialize in that sort of thing. James Sweeney of River City Enterprises (804310-1661) says, “Virtually, our only limitation is your imagination.” In other words, you dream it up, he can make it a reality. He says that you could even turn your shed into a “stone” cottage using a manufactured stone application. Longenecker (quoted previously) says that his Pennsylvania-based Sheds Unlimited (ShedsUnlimited.net), which delivers into the Richmond market, can provide the shells and the homeowner can do the conversion of the interior or hire a contractor to personalize their shed. “We have had customers convert modern sheds into art studios, recording studios, guest houses and more,” he says. His company also manufacturers “sheds” specifically designed to be used as pool houses.

While VPC Builders, a full-service construction firm specializing in commercial and residential construction, custom home building, Green Building, and remodeling, primarily serves residents in North Carolina and South Carolina, we found a lot of inspiration in their images showcasing one of their projects. Jake Smith, project manager for VPC, says, “The communities in our area are home to a lot of clients that are outdoor-minded people. We get asked a lot to build small, outdoor buildings so that homeowners can pursue their hobbies while still getting to enjoy being outside. The garden shed that we completed for this homeowner was exactly that; we matched the style to the main house and gave her enough space to enjoy working outside while staying out of the elements.” Now, put your imagination to work. Why settle for an uninspiring tool shed filled with nothing more than a lawn mower, a rake and a thousand other things that you just can’t bring yourself to throw out, when you can have your own private office, a guest house, a reading room, a writing nook, a sewing room, and yes, if you dress it up just right, your “she” shed could easily become a man-cave.
