I use the Retirement Connection all the time, both as a resource for myself and for our patients. I send it out to anyone who is interested in resources in the area and send an extra copy to family members that are not local so they can review the information together. Even when I inform someone about a specific resource, I will send the booklet because you never know what other information may be useful. Truly the Very Best Resource for patients in Southern Oregon!
Attitude
“The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and your effort.” –Billy Cox
Lately, I have felt that I do not have as much “control” as I want or need. The best I can do right now is to stay focused on what I am able to manage and accomplish. I don’t need to do more, I just need to remove the clutter and distractions; stay focused on the most important goals; then put all my effort into achieving them. I can at least control two things- my attitude and effort!
Ashley Krause, Community Relations Director at Farmington Square Beaverton
I am the Community Relations Director at Farmington Square Beaverton Assisted Living and Memory Care. I often get calls from care managers or discharge planners from hospitals and rehabs. When I don’t have availability, I direct the inquirer to CareAvailability.com to help them find a community with openings. I also use it when I get calls for Medicaid and often times walk through the website with the family over the phone until they have a robust list of communities to call. I am so thankful for this website because it provides a much needed tool that saves time and resources. Families feel empowered being able to research quickly and conveniently.
