What do you call a turkey on the run? Fast food.
Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
and last but not least…
Why did the turkey blush? Because it saw the salad dressing!

At Generations, we have a team of social workers who advocate, assess, and help families navigate through the complicated healthcare system. This time of year, we see a lot of families dealing with a healthcare crisis. There are subtle signs that can indicate changes in health before it becomes a crisis point. As you are visiting your families this holiday season, here are five signs to look for so that you can intervene early and safely.
- Decline in Personal Hygiene or Appearance
- Weight Loss or Poor Eating Habits
- Memory Problems or Increased Confusion
- Trouble Moving or Changes in Balance
- Withdrawal or Mood Changes
