Has anyone found neck or back supports helpful
After seeing this picture, I'm thinking of buying a neck pillow (type you use on an airplane) for my hubby.
How do you all talk yourselves through each day.?
I used to work in senior housing & I found that people who embraced assisted living as the next phase of their life fared better. Assisted living allows you to be as independent as possible while… read more
I'm trying to plan for the future. I'm considering selling my house and moviǹg to an adult apartment complex.
