Hello Legacy Friends!
Happy Valentine’s Day
There’s nothing like a valentine, to make a smile appear, a heart-shaped card filled
with kind words, sent from someone who’s dear. A friend or even a relative, who
takes the time to say, I like you just because you’re you. That’s what is done this
day.
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day!

President’s Days Fun Facts
In Honor of President's Day We’ve Put
Together Some of Our Favorite Fun Facts
About Presidents:
• George Washington was the only president unanimously elected.
Meaning all of the state representatives voted for him.
• John Adams died on the same day as Thomas Jefferson, July 4th,
1826. This day was also the 50th anniversary of the approval of
the Declaration of Independence!
• George W. Bush is the only president to have a Master of Business
Administration (MBA) degree.
• Barack Obama won a Grammy Award in 2006 for his voice on
the audio book Dreams From My Father.
• After working at a Baskin-Robbins as a teen, President Obama no
longer likes ice cream. Bummer!
• Bill Clinton enjoys playing the saxophone and was a member of
a band called “Three Blind Mice” in high school.
• Thomas Jefferson was also an accomplished architect. He
designed his famous home at Monticello as well as buildings for
the University of Virginia.
• Martin Van Buren was the first president to be born as a citizen
of the United States. The presidents before him were born as
British subjects.
• James Madison and George Washington are the only presidents
who signed the Constitution.
• Martin Van Buren was the only president to speak English as a
second language. His first language was Dutch.
• James Madison was the shortest president at 5 feet 4 inches tall
and weighed 100 pounds. Abraham Lincoln was the tallest
president at 6 feet 4 inches tall
(Lyndon B. Johnson was also 6' 4").
• William Henry Harrisons was the 9th president. His grandson,
Benjamin Harrison, was the 23rd president.
• James Monroe was the 5th president, but the 3rd to die on the

• On the day he was shot, Lincoln told his bodyguard that he had
dreamt he would be assassinated.
• Abraham Lincoln often stored things like letters and documents
in his tall stove-piped hat.

hopping!

giving his inauguration speech.

was five years old. Cleveland said “I am making a wish for you.
It is that you may never become president of the United States”.
• Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to appear on
television during a 1939 broadcast from the World's Fair.
• At 42 years, 10 months, 18 days old Teddy Roosevelt was the
youngest man to hold the office of president. Ronald Reagan was

the next 40 years.

• Support available. Do you have family and friends nearby?
How involved are they? Are they able to provide you the support
you need? Many older adults prefer to rely on family to provide
help, but as your needs increase, they might not be able to fill in
all of the gaps. It’s important to consider proximity to
community services and activities as well.
Fitness Matters:
Home Care Services for Seniors
Rather than moving into a long-term care facility as they age, many
older adults prefer to stay at home for as long as possible. This
may be the right choice for you if you only need minor assistance
with your daily activities and enjoy a close network of nearby
family and friends. These guidelines explore the range of home
care services available to help you maintain your independence
within the comfort of your own home.
Is Home Care Right for My Loved One or Me?
It’s natural to want to stay at home as you grow older. However,
taking a step back to look at the big picture can help you decide
whether staying at home for the long term truly is the right step for
you. Too often, decisions to leave home are suddenly made after a
sudden loss or emergency, making adjustments all the more
painful and difficult. Take a look at your options, your budget, and
some of the alternatives.
• Isolation. If it becomes difficult or impossible for you to leave
home without help, isolation can rapidly set in. You may not be
able to participate in hobbies you once loved, stay involved in
community service that kept you motivated, or visit with friends
and family. Losing these connections and support is a recipe for
depression.
• Medical conditions. No one can predict the future. However, if
you or a loved one has a chronic medical condition that is
expected to worsen over time, it’s especially important to think
about how you will handle health and mobility problems. What
are common complications of your condition, and how will you
handle them?
• Finances. Making a budget with anticipated expenses can help
you weigh the pros and cons of your situation. Alternate
arrangements like assisted living can be expensive, but extensive
in-home help can rapidly become expensive as well, especially at
higher levels of care and live-in or 24-hour coverage.
Deciding Whether to Stay at Home
Your home situation is unique, and several factors will weigh in on
the best choice for you. Here are some of the issues in evaluating
your options:
• Location and accessibility. Where is your home located? Are
you in a rural or suburban area that requires a lot of driving? If
you’re in an area with more public transit, is it safe and easily
accessible? How much time does it take you to get to services
such as shopping or medical appointments?
• Home accessibility and maintenance. Is your home easily
modified? Does it have a lot of steps or a steep hill to access? Do
you have a large yard that needs to be maintained?
