When to Start Planning for Nursing Home Care AWARENESS IS POWER : CYBER ISSUES AND DIVORCE AFTER 50

The meaning of success to us is to be moved by the purpose, to engage in camaraderie. Southland Vibe exemplifies business and township support. Highlighting the movers and shakers and silent heroes that care for the south suburbs. We truly underestimated the impact our first issues of the magazine would have on the south suburbs, we exceeded our own expectations. We listened to what our readers want and need to see, we complied.

We are here to give you the best the south suburbs has to offer. We are going into the new year with tons of new content, more extensive editorial pieces, dynamic photography and much more.

5 REASONS SCHOOL RATINGS MATTER (WHETHER YOU HAVE KIDS OR NOT) Schools can have a big impact on property value and quality of life. If you're buying a home, here are a few reasons local school ratings matter – even if you don't have kids. !•! 1. The next buyer will consider school ratings, too.

According to a recent National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 25 percent of homebuyers listed school quality and 20 percent listed proximity to schools as deciding factors in their home purchase.

Another survey conducted by Realtor.com showed that 91 percent of the people surveyed included school district boundaries in their decision-making process.

You may be surprised to learn that not all of the shoppers involved in the studies had kids. !•! 2. More money spent on schools means more money spent on homes.

There's a correlation between school expenditures and home values in any given neighborhood, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Their report, "School Spending Raises Property Values," found that for every dollar spent on public schools in a community, home values increased $20. !•! 3. Higher school ratings equal higher home values.

A Brookings Institution study looked at the 100 largest metro areas in the country and found an average difference of $205,000 in home prices between houses near high-performing and low-performing schools. !•! 4. And good school ratings help homes maintain value.

While changes in the economic landscape and local area can ripple across the market, a great school district can sometimes help insulate a home from market fluctuations. !•! 5. Great school districts usually mean great neighborhoods.

Often there's a correlation between super school districts and safer neighborhoods, better shopping and transportation and great public amenities – like parks. All of these factors increase the desirability of the neighborhood, which translates to higher home values and a better deal for you when it's time to sell.

Looking for a home near a great school? Carlos Semanate RE/MAX Properties Realtor can help you get started. Call him at (708) 465-5774 for a free consultation.

When to Start Planning for Nursing Home Care ! !

By Terri Maxeiner | March 2018! !

Most elderly prefer to stay in their own homes, especially since the thought to move into a skilled care situation is often associated in their minds with end-of-life care. For many elderly, the move to a nursing home is a better option than remaining in their home for many reasons.!

An elder is housebound.!

If your elderly loved one is no longer getting around on her own, fulfilling such tasks as buying groceries, seeing the doctor, or visiting friends, it’s possible that her season of independence is coming to a close. Don’t hesitate to evaluate the situation because it is ultimately about the safety of your loved one.!

Living at home is no longer safe for the elder.!

While a younger person has no difficulty with the basics of maintaining a home, it becomes a different story for the elderly. At the point that stairs become a burden, cleaning the home becomes unmanageable, and some of the outdoor tasks like snow removal become impossible, it may be time to consider moving your elder into a nursing home. As symptoms of dementia begin, home safety issues can be concerned with remembering to turn things off like toasters and coffee pots–simple things that can lead to dangerous situations.!

The level of health care and assistance needed is increasing and becoming difficult to provide in the home.!

Home visits can get your elder by for a period of time, but at some point he may need more assistance than someone picking up groceries and cooking a meal. When he is no longer able to bathe himself, walk to the mailbox, cook or maintain the basics of every day living, home health care visits may simply be insufficient.!

An elder needs close monitoring because of declining health.!

At this point, your loved ones needs attention because their health care needs are changing and becoming more of a daily concern. If your loved one is unable to take her own meds or even at the most basic level, communicate her own needs, it is time to look at the possibility of nursing home care. Declining health creates an unpredictable situation that requires more regular observational care.!

The majority of people who move into nursing homes do so after an acute hospitalization. Nursing homes today are generally for people who need skilled nursing and 24-hour monitoring because their needs have changed that significantly. So even if your elder is living at home with reasonable success at this point, you may want to find out what the future needs will look like and consider your options now.!

I was ready to find a career that would satisfy my desire to make more of a difference in my community so when I met with Gwen (Sterk) about the opportunity she had available, it felt serendipitous.” !
