When my husband and I rescued his parents in NY and brought them into our home to care for them, everyone said I was crazy. Just take them to a nursing home they said. My mother was a nurse in a nursing home, and I have seen many nursing homes from the staff’s and nurse’s […]

We are moved into our new location at Todd’s Center on the southeast side of Lexington in the Hamburg shopping area, but the work to bring the space up to our standards continues. We believe that a beautiful environment filled with art improves mood and aides in healing. Please forgive our mess in the meantime. […]

me join us for a Thanksgiving feast at Todds Center, 743 Allendale Drive, Lexington KY 40503 on Thursday, November 24 (Thanksgiving Day) at noon. We do ask that you let us know (call DG at 859 539 2147 or email DG at assistant@agingwithgraceinfo.org)  so we can be sure to have enough to eat, but the […]

We all woke up today to a new reality. My prayer is for Donald Trump to be the wise, fair, and kind leader I remember from his TV reality show, The Apprentice. I used to love to watch that show. I wanted to be a contestant on the show. The media plays a ridiculous role […]

Happy Halloween! Mom and I are looking forward to giving out candy tonight. Yesterday I had to hide the Halloween candy we bought to give out to the trick-or-treaters tonight…Mom was eating it all up!

Knowledge is power, so the more you learn, the more power you will have to help yourself and others in the future. Funny thing about knowledge…you never know when you might need to know what you know, so it is good to learn all you can. Especially about practical matters that will affect everyone if […]

I am watching the presidential debate as I write this. ‘Aging With Grace’ does not describe the candidates. Both do not exercise, by their own admission. I wonder about their health. Donald Trump sounds as though he has problems getting air. Hillary and Donald both have shapes that may indicate high cholesterol, high blood sugar […]

I attended a grand opening of a new independent/assisted living complex this past week with my friend Mattie and my mother in law. They are springing up all over Lexington faster than mushrooms in springtime here in Kentucky. Medicaid does not help pay for this way for seniors to live and have their health and […]

Hello Dear Reader, We have moved out of our beautiful building because we could not afford it. If we had 22 members spending the day with us four or more days a week, we could have afforded to stay, but after 16 months of hard work, prayer upon prayer, spending all of my savings and […]
