ASTROLOGY WORLD NEWS w/ Dana Haynes. re: Astrologist to the Stars.
– REPORT on Scorpio…lots of changes, but not all the time, good for Joey.
– REPORT that we are under the astrological sign of Pisces until March 20. Sensitive, emotionally aware sign. Pisces have good senses but tend to analyze w/ their emotions. Some are creative.  Need to be out among people.  From this point on they are asking, “what do you want to do/be/find”.  Good time to make changes, find a job, etc., is three weeks before or after your birthday. Nervous about their health right now. Don’t need to be.  Pisces will have a pretty good year, w/ some problems, that are not necessarily negative.
– REPORT that she need is doing general readings w/ only the Sun Sign.  Needs to have the Rising sign information (from the time of your birth) to get an accurate reading.
– PISCES is a water sign along w/ Cancer and Scorpio.
– REPORT on Aires coming in on March 20.  They are the entrepreneurs.  They are great at running or analyzing what’s wrong w/ a company.  Can solve problems quickly.

DEMENTIA HELP CENTER w/ Lisa Stanford re:
– HER ISSUE TODAY: When very stressed, good tip is to play your favorite music.  This works for her clients too.  Personalized just for the patient.  It works wonders. Reaches patients on a level that is amazing, even if you can’t reach them in other ways.
-QUESTIONS FROM “JOEY PALS”.
1. Please comment on the cost of extended care. (Depends on the facility.  A large one can cost $7,000./month.  At DHC they deal w/ a lot of “Board and Care” facilities that are in a private home, w/ every possible service and round the clock care…. and they cost more like $5,300./month for a private room/full care. Sometime shared rooms are less)
– REPORT that DHC constantly monitors the 25 facilities that they would recommend out of the 150 in the Desert.  They “spot check” them.  
– REPORT that DHC has extensive “placement” facilities.  Tries to match the client w/ the environment.
– DISCUSSION that DHC WANTS to help and support you.  CALL THEM.
– DISCUSSION of how to handle a situation where people disagree about sending a loved one to a “care facility”. ELIMINATE THE FEAR.  There are usually many more good years there are ahead of someone in a “care facility”.
– REPORT on how DHC investigates all these facilities on a regular basis and narrows your search for you.  WHEN YOU FIND THE FIT, you get to return to being the patient’s “loved one” and now you have to be into “care management” SO YOU ARE STILL INVOLVED.
– REPORT on the bi-monthly “THRIVE” support group for ALL LEVELS.  Wednesdays 10 to 11:30 live in the conference room @ 75270 Hwy., 111, Indian Wells.  R.S.V.P. please. Open to clients, family, care-givers.  Also have a ZOOM meeting.  Call for the link. FREE CONSULTATIONS.
