Just as Spring is trying to creep back into our lives, HopeTree Family Services offers a couple of new reasons why you can sit snugly inside for just a little while if you want. First, our March magazine will soon be hitting mailboxes across the country. It is already available on our website for those of you who like to view it electronically.
The second reason you can curl up with a warm monitor, would be to read a note posted on our Facebook page. This 'note' provides some spectacular perspective on the need to begin now planning for the long-term care of an adult with intellectual disabilities. This document provides three different examples of families who took care to begin their planning well in advance of the day when care by someone outside the family would be needed. As you read their stories, you will see why planning needs to take place as soon as possible so that the family can have all their resources and desires addressed when the time comes for their loved one to take up residence in a new environment. This article also contains some important financial and legal considerations that should be carefully investigated.
So...now that you have some good reading to do, off you go....the wonderful world of words awaits. You can always smell the flowers when they finish blooming.
Of course, if reading really isn't your thing, please call HopeTree Family Services at 540-389-2112 and we can answer your questions.
