Growing Need for Caregivers - Is Caregiving for You?

ResCare HomeCare Caregiver Testimonials

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, currently in the United States we have approximately 50 million residents over the age of 65. The need for Caregivers is forecasted to grow by almost 70% between 2010 and 2020. Unpaid Caregivers provide an estimated 90% of the long-term care. Many of us have provided unpaid care for a lovedone and in doing so we have gained valuable caregiving experience. ResCare HomeCare, the nation’s largest human services provider, feels it is important to share what it means to be a Caregiver. Many of our Caregivers worked in other professions and found their way to us based on their life caregiving experience. Hoping our Caregiver testimonials might inspire someone with life experience that has never considered being a Caregiver, enter into the caregiving field.

Samantha B. I’m a second generation Caregiver and like my mom, I love what I do. Working as a Caregiver lets me do what I do best – help clients at home. Dan R. I was a mechanic at a plastics factory before I became a Caregiver. I have always been active in the community and being a Caregiver felt like the right fit for me. It’s more than a job - it’s a way to give-back to the community. Ashley Z. I was inspired to join the Caregiver profession by the aides who cared for my ailing mother during her battle with cancer. As a Caregiver my most important reward is knowing I have helped improve my client’s quality of life. Have you ever thought about using your life experience caring for a loved-one to help others? If so, inquire about being a Caregiver for ResCare HomeCare! Are you looking to give-back to the community while earning income?

WSHS Helps Homeless Mom Find Success Written by Holly Yzquierdo. Edited by Martín Lozano. Having a baby is life changing. For a homeless, single mother of infant twins, Shannon’s obstacles were overwhelming. Early Head Start Determined to give her daughters the best life possible, Shannon enrolled her children into the Westside Head Start/Early Head Start home visitation program after making temporary living arrangements. Early Head Start teaches parents of infants and toddlers parenting skills and child development for ages 0-3. A Growing Family When the twin’s father came back to Shannon’s life, the family’s dynamic changed. Soon, Shannon became pregnant again and enrolled as a pregnant mother in the Home Based program. During her pregnancy, Shannon enrolled in online courses to become a medical assistant. When the twins turned one year old, they were transferred to an Early Head Start classroom. Shannon continued to receive home visitation services when the new baby was born. Westside Head Start is committed to helping the whole family and works to engage and equip mothers and fathers to be great parents. After a while, the father started participating in classes to improve his parenting and help his children. A Bright Future Once Shannon’s baby turned one year old, she was transferred to an Early Head Start classroom. This allowed Shannon to continue her education, and attend college classes on campus. A lot has changed for Shannon and her family over the years. This year, the baby transitioned to a 3-yearold Head Start classroom. The twins attended

Summer 2017 Investigation jobs take 7 spots in the top 50 jobs you can get without a college degree Investigations as a career As students try to figure out what they want to do for a career, investigation based jobs are plentiful and well paying. Some pay more than careers requiring a 4-year degree. Having a degree or training in investigations, additionally enhances your job marketability. A recent study by 24/7 Wall St. reviewed median annual wage estimates for all occupations with the Bureau of Labor Statistics and published the top 50 well-paying jobs you can get without a college degree. While a degree is not a requirement, many employers prefer candidates with experience, some college or specific vocational training and certification. The median annual wage across all occupations in the US is $37,040.

SEE THE FUTURE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine Hosts Open House September 16

Midwestern University, home of Arizona’s only veterinary school, is offering a free behindthe-scenes look at how the University is caring for Arizona’s animals and training tomorrow’s veterinarians. The College of Veterinary Medicine at Midwestern’s Glendale Campus at 59th Avenue and Utopia Road will host an open house on Saturday, September 16, 2017 from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. With more than 25 family-friendly and informative booths, exhibits, and activities, families will be able to interact with animals and discover how pathology and forensics can help deter animal abuse and treat disease, and much more. Interested attendees can also learn about a career in veterinary medicine and opportunities available to Midwestern University graduates, such as maintaining a healthy food supply, researching and controlling infectious diseases, and advancing the science of animal health in connec-

Mayor Jerry Weiers flips burgers during the 2016 Stand Up For Veterans event at GCC.

Annual Stand Up for Veterans Sept. 23

On Saturday, September 16, everyone from pet owners to ranchers to future veterinarians are welcome to attend the Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine Open House to see the future of animal healthcare in Arizona. This free event features more than 25 family-friendly exhibits and activities. Expert faculty and veterinary students will be on hand to answer questions and showcase the school’s veterinary clinics and facilities

tion with other healthcare disciplines. Open House Activities Include: • Tours of the College of Veterinary Medicine Companion Animal Clinic, Equine and Bovine Center, and Diagnostic Pathology Center • “Birthing Betsy” calf delivery simulation • Horse and cow physical exam skills • Horse husbandry/grooming • Hands-on bandaging on an artificial horse • Horse acupuncture demonstration • Teddy bear surgery – bring your

“injured” small stuffed animal for repair! • Canine physical rehabilitation • Dog CPR simulation • Household medications and pet safety • Animal forensics and pathology • Anatomy displays • Life of a vet student/how to become a vet For more information about the College of Veterinary Medicine Open House, please call 623-537-6360, or visit www.midwestern.edu/vetopenhouse.

Glendale’s fifth annual “Stand Up for Veterans” will be held 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 23 at Glendale Community College, 6000 W. Olive Ave. More than 1,000 veterans have attended the community outreach event in previous years. “The reason I started this event was to help struggling veterans regain their dignity and pride. Stand Up does just that,” said Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers, who initiated the Glendale Stand Up event five years ago. “They can potentially walk into the event without a job and bogged down with legal issues, and they can walk out of the event gainfully employed with, essentially, a clean slate. That truly can change someone’s life for the better.” A new offering at this year’s event will be Glendale Community College’s Veteran Services Center. The center provides veteran and military students and their families one-onone help getting into college and staying on the path of success. The VSC is a one-stop facility offering services, including admissions, financial aid, advisement, career services, referrals and specific military-related resources.

Summer 2017 Do You Really Need Life Insurance?

Peoria Accelerated students prepares students for the challenges and choices of the 21st century

Peoria Accelerated Offers Something Better for High School Students While Arizona is in the midst of a devastating opioid epidemic, Peoria Accelerated High School is excited to announce it will be doing its part to educate students and prevent substance abuse among the communities it serves. Earlier this summer, Peoria Accelerated was one of 38 Arizona high schools awarded a competitive grant through the High School Health and Wellness Program, which is overseen by the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family. The grant will allow Peoria Accelerated to implement an evidence-based prevention pro-

gram campus-wide. This opportunity could not come at a better time for Peoria Accelerated, its students, and its families as Governor Ducey declared a public-health emergency this summer in response to the opioid epidemic. The primary aim of the program is to prevent substance abuse among students and to provide them with healthy, positive alternatives to risky behaviors and the use of drugs. In other words, the school wants its students to know there is always “something better” than drugs. Located at 8885 West Peoria Avenue, Peoria Accelerated High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12. Currently the school offers Monday-Thursday instruction, flexible schedules, credit recovery, and free school bus transportation to Glendale, El Mirage, and Surprise. For more information about Peoria Accelerated High School and its grant program Something Better, contact the school leader, Amanda Bachler at 623.979.0031 or visit the school’s website www.peoriabulldogs.com.

By Yvonne J Knaack CLU State Farm® agent Life insurance isn’t just for married couples with children. The need for life insurance is much broader. “Anybody who would experience a financial loss or an emotional loss after a death will need some type of life insurance,” says Marvin Feldman, president and CEO of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education. Who is it for? Having dependents of any kind necessitates life insurYvonne Knaack CLU, Agent ance. Here are examples: • Unmarried couples.

It can help cover the cost of replacing the services of stay-at-home parents. • Single parents. These individuals are typically the sole source of support for their children. Life insurance can help provide for children financially should their parent die. • Singles. Single individuals could be responsible for aging parents or may have significant debt. “Life insurance helps make sure those debts are paid,” Feldman says. • Retirees. Insurance can help replace income from part-time work, Social Security benefits, pensions or other employer benefits. It helps spouses continue living as they’re accustomed. • Empty nesters. Older adults may have custody of a grandchild or provide support for other family members. Life insurance may help this care to continue. • Business owners. Life insurance has many benefits for business owners, such as helping protect family members from taking on a person’s professional debt, or providing funds for survivors to buy out the deceased’s interest. What can it cover? Beyond paying for final expenses, loved ones can put these death benefits toward: • Paying off debt • Financing an education • Settling estate taxes • Contributing to charity • Creating an inheritance • Replacing income • Replacing employer benefits Are there additional benefits? Some policies also offer living benefits. Whole policies and universal life policies accumulate value that can be tapped as retirement income or used to help cover unexpected expenses. Universal life policies also may have riders allowing chronically ill policyholders to withdraw the face amount during their lifetimes to help cover long-term care costs or to prepare loved ones financially before passing. Decide which type of policy best suits your needs.

12 Weeks to a Better Life!

The Arizona School of Dental Assisting is the Fast and Affordable Way to Change Your Life! Why spend up to 11⁄2 years becoming a dental assistant when you can do it in a 1⁄4 of the time and a 1⁄4 of the cost!

Lisa Stevenson, President of Arizona School of Dental Assisting

Arizona School of Dental Assisting

“Hi my name is Christina, I’m 36 years old with 3 children, 18,16,&13. I had no idea where my life was headed, until I stumbled across Arizona School of Dental Assisting (ASDA) I was so nervous in the beginning and all through school, I started working .....this career field has been the best experience I’ve ever had! I love it so much, I love working with the patients, it makes me happy to help others. My children are very happy to see me smiling, happy doing something I never imagined doing. Dreams do come true. Lisa and her Staff have been very uplifting and helpful. My experience has been amazing. Christina Munoz Arizona School of Dental Assisting, Student

“Thank you to all you guys for being the amazing people you are! The office I got hired at is 5 miles from my house and I had my first day today and I really like it!” Bridget C. Arizona School of Dental Assisting, Student

“I’m Vanessa and I’d highly recommend this lively 12 week course, to anyone who is interested in becoming a dental assistant. The classes last 3 short hours, for 2 days a week! Before I found Arizona School of Dental Assisting, I looked into other dental assisting courses, and they were anywhere from 9 to 14 months and the prices were way too high. Brittany, and Whittney being the excellent teachers that they are, keep the classes simple, interesting, and enjoyable. My class began sometime in September of 2016, and before the end of the course (November 2016) I was hired at a wonderful office, off my externship. Being 3 months later, I am currently being cross trained as a general dental assistant, and as an orthodontic assistant. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! GO ASDA!”

Well, here at the Arizona School of Dental Assisting we just made it even easier to obtain that dream! Not only do we have a classroom based program, we have now opened up an online portion for those of you that cannot come to school. The online option leaves you with only the clinicals to complete to graduate as a dental assistant. Work at your own pace, 2 to 12 weeks to complete the program!
