On a weekly basis I make a frail attempt for levity regarding the treachery of our profession. This week has been trumped by tragedies in our community. Several residents and employees in Boulder City have to deal with the finality of a family member’s being.

About one-third of Americans age 65 and older and more than half of those over age 80 suffer from falls as a result of balance-related conditions.

Fractures or broken bones in the hip or back that are the result of a fall can lead to limited mobility, loss of independence and often other accompanying health conditions.
Summer break is officially over, and if you didn’t know, the streets will be busy with kids enthusiastically making their way to and from school.

Ring! Ring! Ring! Wake up! Come on, let’s get going; we’re going to be late. Where are we going? You don’t remember? We have an appointment. An appointment with whom? It will change your life. Again, who is the appointment with? It’s an appointment with tragedy!
Living with a disability of any kind can be a struggle. Millions of Americans fight on a daily basis to keep up with their everyday routines.
