Conveniently Adding Fruits & Veggies to Your Diet
Convenience. We all need things,especially food, quickly these days. But did you realize your diet plays an oh-so-important role in your overall health?

How to Pay for Long Term Care
Last week, I shared with you, “How to Know Your Loved One is Ready for Long Term Care.” This week, we’ll look at the process of paying for long term care. One thought before we begin: long term care is never free. Depending upon their physical and mental needs, your loved one may require a short stay to regain strength, a permanent stay, assistance with all cares, a very secure environment, guided activities, trained therapists to guide improved strength and functional ability or to keep them moving throughout each day, as well as administrative, nursing, dietary, environmental services and maintenance staff. It takes a great deal of dedicated, compassionate personnel to provide exceptional care.
How Do You Know Your Loved One is ready for Long Term Care?

So how can you and your family members know your loved one is ready for the CMH long term care family?

Meet the Culprit: Atrial Fibrillation
Featuring: Dr. Best, Cardiologist
Highlighted most recently on national and local news has been the discussion of atrial fibrillation. What is it? How can you get it? And from the standpoint of a physician, how can atrial fibrillation be treated?
We’ve all had the opportunity of being placed in situations that were, well less than comfortable. Often times, we begin to feel anxiety, and the beating of our heart increases dramatically. Imagine living life with that rapidly beating heart rate… Your heart beats all the time, thanks to electric signals that are produced by your body. When those electrical signals begin to beat at a chaotic-like pace, for seemingly no reason atrial fibrillation is typically the culprit.
