I've decided to give my service in helping out with the shortage of care givers where I work, and am furious, nay OUTRAGED, that some of the hardest working people in the Senior Care Services, make some of the lowest wages. Note that this is across the board in America. They are extremely under staffed, over worked, under payed, and under appreciated by the Corporations they work for.
Senior Care Services are one of the fastest growing over all markets in America, but the Corporate Greed is and will continue to put our Seniors at risk for abuse and or minimal care due to the lack of care and consideration of the Care Givers. They are the ones that spend most of the time with our Seniors, NOT upper management. They just book the sale, then move onto the next person.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE where I work, the people are good but the Seniors are AWESOME. Our caregivers are Great and they love the Seniors they care for everyday. It's just so unjust that they are some of the lowest paid employees out there, but yet do the HARDEST and some times dirtiest work. Those in Corporate America need to make some conscious changes in the way they operate, in order to REALLY GIVE THE BEST SENIOR CARE AVAILABLE TO ALL PEOPLE OF EVERY SOCIAL BACKGROUND.
It's not about who makes the most money, it's about team work, customer service, care and support for all employees across the board, so that as a TEAM we give the BEST CARE to our Seniors as well as our employees.
This is SuzView after all...

Senior citizens brace for Social Security freeze
By MATT SEDENSKY, Associated Press Writer Matt Sedensky, Associated Press Writer – Mon Oct 11, 7:30 pm ET
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Seniors prepared to cut back on everything from food to charitable donations to whiskey as word spread Monday that they will have to wait until at least 2012 to see their Social Security checks increased.
The government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through a second straight year without an increase in monthly benefits. This year was the first without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation started in 1975.
*What's your response to this? My View would be that considering everything else that is going on in America with the economy & such, is it any surprise to any of us.
You all know my feelings on the so called "Shovel Ready" crap, well this just adds to it. I am getting the feeling from all around that things AREN'T getting any better, like some would have us think. More and more jobs are getting cut, case in point:
CINCINNATI -- Big cuts are looming for the Cincinnati Fire Department. WLWT has learned that the city wants to slice almost $11 million from the fire budget in the weeks ahead.
Having already absorbed several million dollars worth of reductions, rank-and-file firefighters are worried that deep personnel cuts will arrive before the holidays.
This is in Cincinnati, but it could/will be us soon. Is it just me, of what the H--- is going on? Wake UP AMERICA, and Keep your eye's and ear's open as to how OUR future progress is going....

Vacation 2010
We've been back for a few weeks now and I and in a stuck rut, and can't seem to get out of it. So, today I have decided to share some of the pictures from our trip to Maine/Canada. Enjoy!
We really did see a bear at the Elliot in Juniper, but I did not have the camera ready to capture him.
Tunnel vision...
We can hardly wait until next time.
