My topic

I am planning on writing my paper on good nutriion as opposed to or in conjunction with synthetic drugs for the elderly. My thesis statement is "Synthetic medication regimens in elderly care can have detrimental results whereas good nutrition alone or in conjunction with a synthetic drug regimen can prove to provide a better quality of life."
There a number of articles on this topic as severe malnutrition and abuse are a huge topic in the arena of elderly care. I used to work in a residential care home and saw many horrible things and was witness to elderly abuse which I reported. The food that was served was sub-par and the activities provided were almost non existent. I believe it is for this reason that I want to open up my own adult daycare center where I can provide a place for the elderly to be around others and feel like they still have some sort of quality of life!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my blog! I am glad that we are doing this project. It will be fun and it is certainly a learning experience! I am a crazy Mom with three beautiful kids and a busy life but I am trying to keep focused to provide a better life for me and my family in the future. I am going to open an Adult Daycare in the future to help the elderly have a better day to day quality of living and it will give me a feeling of reward for helping them! I look forward to working with all of you in the coming months and hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much!
