Q:The movie “Buried in Bar stow” starring Angie Har mon ended with the statement “To Be Continued.” When will that be? — L.Z. A:“Buried in Barstow” first aired on Lifetime on June 4 and end ed on a “bone-chilling note,” according to Distractify.com. The ending was left open-ended, but fortunately, a sequel is in the works. The bad news? No release date has been set. For those who haven’t caught it, Har mon (“Law & Order”) plays a restau rant owner in Barstow, California, who is trying to escape her past as a hitwoman in Las Vegas. The sequel is currently still in the development stage. Given Harmon’s successful track record in television, I wouldn’t be surprised if “Buried in Barstow” ends up being more than two films.

Q:When is “Grey’s Anatomy” coming back? Will this be the final season? — Y.K. A:The long-running hit medi cal drama “Grey’s Anatomy” returns to ABC on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 9 p.m. E.T. Joining the cast as a new class of residents are Harry Shum Jr. (“Crazy Rich Asians”), Adelaide Kane (“SEAL Team”), Alexis Floyd (“Inventing Anna”), Niko Terho (“The Thing About Harry”) and Midori Francis (“Dash & Lily”). The 18th season finale of “Grey’s” that premiered back in May marked the show’s 400th episode. Caterina Scor sone, who plays Dr. Amelia Shepherd on the show, recently tweeted: “Mem orizing lines for #1901. It’s here. There will be updates. The classic cast is ready and revving. The new cast additions are exciting and gorgeous. Inside and out. Here we go.” The new drama “Alaska Daily” will premiere in the timeslot right after “Grey’s.” According to Deadline.com, it stars two-time Academy-Awardwinner Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzger ald, a “recently disgraced reporter who leaves her high-profile New York life behind to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage.” This is her second series in recent years; the first was playing an astronaut in Netflix’s “Away” in 2020.

Q:I saw that Joni Mitchell has finally performed live again at a festival. Didn’t she have a health scare a few years ago? — B.J. A:For the first time in 53 years, folksinger Joni Mitchell, age 78, performed live in a festival setting. According to CBS News, she was the surprise guest during the closing set at the Newport Folk Festival. This also marked her first public appearance since suffering a near fatal brain aneurysm in 2015. She had to teach herself how to play the guitar again after that devastat ing medical setback. Physical obstacles are not insurmountable for Mitchell. At age nine, she was paralyzed from polio, but she eventually learned to walk again. Singer Brandi Carlile is the one who con vinced Mitchell to perform the 13-song set, wowing fans with “A Case of You,” “Both Sides Now” and “Big Yellow Taxi,” among others. Festivalgoers were in for another treat the following night when another legend, Paul Simon, made his first appearance at Newport.

CARLEEN CHRISTOPHER, RAINDROP TECHNIQUE SPECIALIST

Esquire edward_roy@hotmail.com Geralyn M.

Soft, meditative music streams into the dimly lit room of Raindrop Technique Specialist Carleen Christopher, creating an immediately soothing e ect on her client. The client is lying comfortably on the special table that Carleen uses to perform her Raindrop Therapy. The table has several layers of coverings, from high thread count sheets to a Biomat, heated Infared Rays blanket with Amethyst crystals to a BioAcoustic mat that vibrates at di erent intensities and patterns. It is an immersive sensory experience.Carleen,who is a Young Living Brand representative, has a calming presence about her. She exudes a feeling of centeredness and steadiness. Secured around her waist is a belt which holds the nine essential oils that she will use in her Raindrop Therapy. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and healing properties; Carleen knows them all. The therapy uses nine essential oils including Cypress, Marjoram, Wintergreen, Thyme, Basil, Oregano and Peppermint.Somemay ask, what exactly is Raindrop Technique and what is its purpose? “The purpose of Raindrop Technique is to stimulate every organ, muscle and bone of the body at a cellular level through essential oils, thereby supporting the immune system, bringing the body into structural/electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxin or disease.”Theseoils, which are products of the company Young Living Essential Oils®, are pure and clean, and contain no synthetic fragrances or toxins ~ they are completely natural and of the highest therapeutic grade. Carleen has done extensive research on these oils, both for her professional and personal use.

Q:I still have some of my daugh ter’s Polly Pockets, which were popular in the 1990s. Are they collectible? A:Polly Pockets were made by the British company Bluebird Toys starting in 1989. Polly Pocket toys were plastic cases that opened to form a dollhouse or other playsets for Pol ly Pocket dolls. The 1-inch-tall dolls folded in the middle, like the case, and had circular bases which slotted into holes in the case interior. The dolls also came as pendants or large rings. In the late 1990s, Mattel bought the company and redesigned a new, larger Polly Pocket. In 2002, Mattel stopped producing the smaller Polly Pock ets but continued to make the larger fashion doll. Polly Pocket toys made by Bluebird are collectible and often rare. The most valuable vintage Polly Pockets were released between 1989 and 1998.

In the dog days of summer, few things are more refreshing than a glass of iced tea. Although National Iced Tea Day is June 10, Sunday Aug. 21 is National Sweet Tea Day. If you know anything about me, you know I’m never one to pass up a food holiday.Popular lore traces iced tea’s popu larity to the 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exhibition World Fair. There are lots of other treats attribut ed to that fair, including hamburgers, ice cream cones, cotton candy and peanut butter. But iced tea has been on the menu since the 1870s. What made iced tea novel wasn’t the tea but the ice, which was quite the luxury back then. Iced tea has the same health benefits as hot tea, mainly being incredibly rich in polyphenols, which are a type of antioxidant. These wonderful nutrients hunt for cell-damaging free radicals in the body and detoxify them. This reduces the risk of heart disease, and possibly helps prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Tomorrow’s holiday celebrates sweet tea. Traditionally, sweet tea is tea that’s brewed very strong with a large amount of sugar added. The mixture of sugar and tea is served over ice. The amount of sugar may offset some of the health benefits of tea mentioned above, so please modify this recipe if that’s a concern forWithyou.all that said, it kills me to see people buying premade iced tea at premium prices. Made at home, even if you use high quality tea and purchase spring water, it’s still very inexpensive at less than $1 per gallon. Come on, people! It’s just water and teabags. We can do TRADITIONALthis!SWEET TEA

“MISGIVINGS” FUNDRAISER Phenix Baptist Church presents “Misgivings” on September 18 at Club Jogues, 184 Boston Street, Coventry. Join Fr. Patrick Aloysius Misgivings for this divine presentation of stories & one liners about growing up Catholic. This ‘Divine” Comedy of belly laughs, blarney & bingo begins at 3PM (doors open at at 2:30PM). Tickets are $25/person. For tickets and/or more information, call the Church Office 821-1618 or Cheryl 8280993. FREE COMMUNITY SUMMER FEST Cornerstone Church, 550 Cowesett Road, Warwick, will hold a free Community Summer Fest on August 20 from 5:30-7:30PM (rain date August 27). All are invited to enjoy free activities, including bounce house, face painting, snow cones, basketball, cornhole, pie eating contest, food, crafts for kids & more.

The measurements are flexible. Use this as a place to begin, adjusting the recipe until it speaks or sings to your tasteYield:buds.1gallon 1 gallon water 6 to 8 individual black tea bags 1 cup granulated sugar Pinch baking soda FreshIce mint leaves or lemon slices (optional) Fill a gallon-size pitcher with good water. If you don’t have a gallon pitcher, you can repurpose a gal lon-size plastic water jug. Pour about one-third of the water into a saucepan and heat to a rolling boil on the stove. Once it’s boiling, remove from heat and add the teabags. Let this steep for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea. I leave mine for 7 minutes, and I think that’s the Goldilocks spot — not too strong, not too weak, but juuuust right. Remove teabags but don’t squeeze them. Add the sugar while the water is very hot and stir until it’s completely dis solved. Confession: I only add 1/2 cup of sugar and my family still loves me and my tea. Add a pinch of baking soda to offset any bitterness in the tea. Let this cool to room temperature and pour it back into the pitcher with the remaining water. Just be sure you don’t pour hot water into a plastic jug. To serve, pour the sweet tea into ice-filled glasses. Add a sprig of mint or a lemon slice, if desired. The sweet tea will keep refrigerated for about a week.Alittle tip: When your tea is finished brewing, don’t squeeze the tea bags. Tea leaves contain tannins, naturally occurring compounds with a bitter, astringent taste. When you squeeze, you’re releasing the water where the tannins are most concentrated and compromising the flavor of your tea. In traditional Southern iced tea, a pinch of baking soda is added to offset any bitterness. So, let’s raise a glass and cele brate the holiday because every thing is made better with a little sweet tea and grace.***

A Family Tradition

MY SIDE OF THINGS by LARRY GRIMALDI

I never thought that it would become grandfather-grandchild tradition; but that’s exactly what has happened over the last 15 years or so. It all began simply enough when I hung a few bird feeders on farmers hooks in our yard. My backyard bird watching was enhanced by gifts of a book that identified the type of birds that were likely to visit the feeders and binoculars to observe my newfound winged friends at a distance so as not to scare them off. In addition to the standard wild bird food blend, I also purchased a special feeder and seed to attract goldfinches. My last chore was to devise a defensive strategy to keep those ever-pesky neighborhood squir rels from climbing the poles to raid the feeders. Peri odic applications of a non-stick kitchen spray or Vase line to the poles worked well. Feeders stocked with food, and armed with a full color illustrated guide of the local avian population, I was ready to enjoy my newOverhobby.the years, I have spotted locally popular spe cies such as blue jays, cardinals, wrens, sparrows, crows, chickadees, nuthatches, starlings, orioles, robins, and even a few finches at the feasting on site. Often, The wail of mourning doves and the rat-tat-tat of woodpeckers could be heard outside my bedroom window. With limited success, my wife has tried to lure hummingbirds to her flower garden feeders. When my twin granddaughters Kailyn and Sophia were about three, (Now college sophomores as a write this column), they saw me filling the bird feed ers. Of course, they offered to “help.” Who can re fuse a request of a youngster with curiosity in their eyes, enthusiasm in their hearts, and a sincere desire to “help?” I knew that I couldn’t. That was the beginning of a new family tradition. I tried to teach to teach the twins how to fill the feed ers without pouring too much seed on the ground. De spite some success, but I’m sure that the lazier or more clever winged scavengers quickly discovered that it was easier to pluck seeds from the ground than to fight for a spot on the feeders. The spilled feed also proved to be an effective deterrent to squirrels who might otherwise try to climb the feeder poles. Many times, the squirrels preferred the bounty on the ground rather than attempting to climb the poles. Feeding the birds became a ritual when the twins came to visit and it cultivated a bond between us that still brings a smile to my face. A few years later, the next link in the bird feeder tradition was passed onto the twins’ brother Nicholas when he reached the age of about three. His initial efforts at filling the feeding stations mirrored those of his sisters. But after a few tries, he became more skilled and began to look forward to the task on his visits to our house. On a recent visit from New Jersey, Benjamin Jr., now age four, offered to help feed the birds. While he did prove to be a bit more accurate at the task, spilling less seed on the ground than his three predecessors, Benjamin, Jr. still managed to leave a generous food supply under the feeders. The squirrels and the less ambitious avian populations were no doubt grateful for their Benjamin’sbounty.sister Lorelai has yet to join the crowd. However, she is just a year old and not quite ready to join the feeding brigade. I have no doubt that when she reaches age three or so, Lorelai will be tutored in the art of bird banqueting by her brother and older cousins.Likemost families, our traditions are celebrated at holidays, birthdays, graduations and other events. Some of our traditions, like gathering together for Sunday dinner when we have the chance, are rooted in our cultural background. I believe that family tradi tions are a bridge from the past to the present. Still others create new bridges. In many cases, the oppor tunities to create traditions are right under our nose, but we don’t see then because they are so simple and obvious. Gratefully, feeding the birds with my grand children was a joyous opportunity to create a new tra dition that I didn’t miss. Larry Grimaldi is a freelance writer from North Providence.

I grew up in a traditional working-class family. Dad was the breadwinner, leaving for his milkman job before the sun came up. Mom was a “housewife” taking care of the house, my older sister, and me. Joyce’s parents followed a similar path. Married at a young age, Joyce and I had two children. I worked nine to five, plus many nights and weekends as a Boy Scout Executive. Twenty-four/seven dur ing the summer, directing a Boy Scout Camp.Iwas the breadwinner/Joyce was the housewife. Then one day, we were in the sixties, and the times they were a-changing.Thekids were in school. Joyce went back to work nights. I worked days and many evenings. We adjusted to shar ing some of the household and parental duties.There were conflicts, adjustment prob lems, and the usual situations in a family with both parents working full time. As I look back, our upbringing defined male and female roles quite narrowly. As the kids left the nest and attitudes and lifestyles started changing, we fol lowed our generation in rebelling against the norms of gender roles. Joyce became the Mrs. Fixit when something broke down. I discovered what a vacuum cleaner was. Roles reversed, changed and were eliminated. Suddenly, We Are in Our Eighties

ACCORDING TO DON by DON FOWLER RETIREMENT SPARKS by ELAINE M. DECKER Sharing Duties In Senior Years

A NY Times article covered a fairly new trend: people having their favorite family recipes engraved on tomb stones. The author came across one accidentally when looking for a relative’s grave. That led her to search the cemetery for other examples and she found quite a few. It turns out folks have written books and e-zines with recipes found on memorials. I don’t have a single recipe that would merit being engraved in granite. My mother was a fabulous baker; dozens of her recipes are tombstone worthy. She’s buried in a family plot and her personal marker is a small flat stone with barely enough room for her name and dates. My husband and I plan to be cremated and have yet to decide what instructions to leave for the disposition of our ashes. So I really don’t have a need for a recipe for posterity. Needless to say, that didn’t stop me from pondering what I might want to appear above my remains, were I interred in a cemetery under a large stone marker. The first thing that came to mind was a limerick, some clever little rhyming ditty. I’d normally write something bawdy, but that would limit where it could go. Absent my usual snark, dark humor or blue language, I doubt anything I wrote would cut the mustard against a good recipe. Then again… Here lie the remains of a lass Who opted to turn them to ash. She was incensed to learn that an oversized urn Would be needed to hold her broad a**. I’d love to have a clever cartoon mark my finally rest ing place. Maybe I could hire Gary Larsen to draw a Far Side style one that would showcase my humor. He’s so clever and I’ve always admired his use of language. He started creating cartoons again about two years ago. He’s five years younger than I am, but it might be wise to con tract for my cartoon before I’ve moved on to the Rainbow Bridge.I’dlove to include all the cats I’ve adopted over the years in my final plans. I’ve had each of them cremated and my intention is to comingle their ashes with mine. My husband will also have his cremains in the mix, but we’ve never worked out the logistics. If I last at least five more years, I’ll probably have ten feline children with me. Counting me and Jagdish, that would be a dozen names to memorialize. I could commission an elaborate Indian mandala to incorporate them. I’ll bet that would attract a lot of attention in a cemetery. Here’s another idea that’s more personal. I could list my favorite themes for tree trimming parties I’ve held. They might inspire graveyard wanderers. I made special invita tions each year. The invite for my Potpourri Trim included small sachets that I filled with pine scented dried flowers. There was the Teddy Bears’ Trim, with the invitation based on their picnic song. Tulip and Daisy, my cats at the time, were jealous. So the next year I had a Cats’ Trim. Eventually, I co-owned a house with a man who had an awesome collection of vintage model trains. When he set up his elaborate layout, we celebrated with the C M and E Railroad trim, using our initials and our version of the Pufferbellies song. “Down in the basement early in the morning, see the little pufferbellies all in a row. See the station master turn a little handle. Puff puff, toot toot, off theyOnego.”of my last trims held in Providence had a Cozy Slippers theme. A few of our guests actually wore their slippers, which I really appreciated. Most came in their street shoes. That was disappointing. It’s not like I asked them to wear pajamas, after all, although that could have been a fun theme, too. I had dozens of trims over the years, but those I mentioned here are the ones that I feel are tombstoneSomewhereworthy.inthis essay could be an idea that you’ll find helpful the next time you have to decide what to put on a gravesite marker. It’s never too soon to plan for the inevitable. Why not get creative about what you’ll leave for Copyrightposterity?2022

My parents built a summer house in Bonnet Shores in Narragansett in 1959 and we began spending our summers there when I was six years old. My aunt, uncle, and cousins bought a house nearby - within biking distance - and through the years many of my parents’ friends either bought or rented, and spent their summers with us at the beach. My cousins and my two brothers and I grew up with the children of our parents’ friendsthere was always a summer crowd to hang with. At that time, the men worked “in the city” during the week, meaning Providence, or, as was the case with my father, traveled during the week for their jobs.

When it was full dark we’d douse the fire, pack up our dishes, and head home under the stars, full of good food and happily tired from our long, lovely day. The men would return on Friday nights and the focus on the weekends would then shift to family time. And although their weekends were full in a different way, perhaps our mothers looked forward to their weekday afternoons and evenings when they could talk and share and be alone with each other, forging friendships that lasted a lifetime. They still had responsibilities - their household chores and children to take care of, but I wonder if they felt a sense of true freedom during those Monday to Friday summer weeks. Days when they could simply be themselves, just women enjoying their time together, and creating moments and memories - like shared suppers over a campfire on the rocks by the ocean under the setting sun.

MEMOIRS by SUSAN DEAN

The women and children were left alone in our summer beach houses Monday through Friday and the men would return on weekends. And then Monday morning would arrive and my mother had the entire week free again - free to enjoy with her friends.Theroutine was housework in the mornings - vacuuming, laundry, mopping, dusting, and general tidying up. Then we’d eat lunch, pack up, and go to theMybeach.mother would lead us to our usual spot, under the clock, and I would squint in the sun to see if anyone was there yet, and sure enough, we were rarely the first. I’d see my Aunt Lil sitting in her beach chair chatting with my mother’s friends - usually Martha and Clem, and Anna and Clara. And then there was Betty and sometimes Vi. The women would sit in a circle and chat and laugh the afternoon away while the kids - a group of at least eight or nine of us - swam, collected seashells, walked the beach, and had our own adventures during those long, sunny, summer afternoons at the shore. As the day waned, our mothers would begin talking about what they had planned for supper. Often two or three or more of them would decide to combine their dinner plans and we would end up eating at one house or another, or we’d be hosting at our house. This was always very exciting for us kids, as it meant the day simply continued into the evening, and then into the night, as our mothers ended up playing cards or Scrabble under the summer stars as the crickets and the other night insects chirped. It meant late summer nights and eventually falling asleep to the sound of the surf after a full day of sunshine, fun, and friends. As fun as those communal suppers were, what was truly exciting was when we heard the words “Little Beach” mentioned in the conversation of our mothers during their afternoon beach chats. The Little Beach was the rocky shore on the opposite end of Bonnet Shores - the side facing the Jamestown Bridge. It wasn’t a beach for swimming - there was no sand - just rocks ranging in size from small stones to big boulders - and moorings for small boats.

“Little Beach!” we’d whisper excitedly to each other. “We’re going to eat at the Little Beach tonight!” When our afternoon at the beach was done, we’d all go home and change, and gather pots, pans, dishes, and whatever we had in the refrigerator. We’d meet my aunt and my mother’s friends and all of the kids at the Little Beach. My mother usually brought homemade chowder, and Aunt Lil might bring hot dogs to roast. Anna and Clara brought pota to or macaroni salad, and Martha and Vi would add baked beans or corn on the cob. Betty and Clem might bring a green salad or des sert. We’d pick a spot to gather on the shore, walk precariously across the rocks balancing the food, pots, and dishes, and set up amongst the boulders. Somehow our mothers would start a campfire and we’d cook our feast together. The twilight sun cast red and golden shadows on the lapping waves and the boats bobbed up and down at their moorings as we sat on the rocks and ate our combined communal meal. As the sun set and the stars gradually appeared in the darkening sky, the marshmallows were readied for toasting on the dyingThereembers.was something special, something divine and meaningful about these suppers on the rocks that has seared itself into my mem ory. I remember the aroma of sizzling hot dogs, the crispiness of grilled corn, and the oozy squishi ness of the hot marshmallows. I remember sitting on the rocks with my brothers, my cousins, and our friends and this group of women - our mothers - and listening to their never-ending conversation and laughter. I remember the sparkle of waning sunlight on the water and the sound of the gentle waves. And the coolness of the air as the sun disappeared.

Easy Kona Pineapple Chicken Kebabs Prep time: 45 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 1 can (6 ounces) pineapple juice 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 lime, zest and juice only 1 tablespoon sugar 1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger, grated 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 package Perdue Fresh Cuts Diced Chicken Breast 1/2 fresh pineapple, cut into 16 chunks 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 16 (1-inch) chunks 4 metal skewers or 8 wooden skewers (12 inches) soaked in water 30 minutes In bowl, whisk pineapple juice, vegetable oil, lime juice and zest, sugar, ginger and red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves. Add diced chicken breast, cover and marinate in refrigerator 30Threadminutes.alternating pieces of chicken, pineapple and red bell pepper onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade. Heat lightly greased grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill kebabs 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until chicken feels firm to touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 165 F. Remove kebabs from grill, rest 2-3 minutes and serve. Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes to keep skewers from burning on grill. If using metal skewers, remember chicken will cook faster because metal will conduct heat and cook chicken cubes from inside along with grill heat cooking chicken from outside. RI RI

Because seasonings can sometimes come off on the grill, try seasoning both before and after grilling for a bettertasting final result. If you’re planning to marinate, be careful to avoid over-marinating as acid-based marinades can start breaking down meat fibers. Remember before and while seasoning raw meat to keep proper safety practices in mind. Wash your hands, cutting boards, knives, scissors, the sink and all work surfaces for 20 seconds with hot, soapy water, and don’t allow raw meat or its juices to touch other foods. Trust the Thermometer Once your grill reaches the desired heat, put chicken on the grates with confidence by trusting a meat thermometer to measure doneness. This Easy Kona Pineapple Chicken Kebabs recipe, for example, calls for 10-12 minutes on the grill, but it’s important to check for an internal temperature of 165 F rather than simply relying on recommended cook times. Be sure to serve using a clean platter and utensils, never ones touched by raw meat. Refrigerate any leftover chicken immediately and use within 3-5 days. For more grilling tips, visit perdue.com/how-to/grilling.

For a flavorful meal without breaking the bank, consider less-expensive cuts of meat like bone-in thighs or drum sticks, or cook a whole chicken that can last for several meals. In addition to the savings at the grocery store, these cuts can also withstand hotter temperatures on the grill for juicy and tender results. Save a Little Time

FAMILY GFEATURESettinghealth care for yourself or a loved one is a big responsibility, especially if you’re just getting started with Medicare or have changes in your life, such as a new diagnosis of a condition or disease. It can be overwhelming if you need services like nursing home care, have to find a new doctor or get home health care. Using online tools like “Find Care Providers” on Medicare.gov can make it easier to make comparisons and help choose doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and more for you or the person you are helping provide care to. Consider these benefits of using the comparison tools to narrow your options. A Resource for Research

Finding a Doctor Who Fits When you’re looking for a new doctor and not sure where to start, the tool makes it quick and easy to find and compare doctors in your area. You can find contact information, practice locations, specialty and hospital affiliation as well as hospital ratings. Selecting the “compare” button allows you to compare up to three different health care providers at once. When you’re ready to schedule a visit with a new provider, be sure to take time during your scheduling call to verify general information, like the office location, whether the office is accepting new patients with Medicare and whether you need a referral to be treated. Comparing Nursing Homes Whether you’re planning ahead or need to make an unexpected decision, there’s a lot to think about when choosing the right nursing home for you or someone else. Many family members and caregivers prioritize location so they’re able to check in and visit frequently, but there are many other important factors you may want to consider, too. The comparison tool at Medicare.gov provides filtering options that allow you to personalize your results by sifting through the criteria that matter most to you, such as inspection results, number of beds, staffing data and more. You’ll be able to check out the nursing home’s overall “star ratings.” The information can serve as a guide of a provider’s track record to help assist you with finding a home that best suits the person’s needs. Visit Medicare.gov/care compare to access the tool and find health care providers and services in your area that fit your needs. Paid for by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Caregiver Guide Making decisions as a caregiver can be challenging but taking advantage of available resources can help you feel more confident in your choices. For example, Medicare.gov allows you to find information about health care providers, hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, home health agencies, dialysis facilities, inpatient rehab and long term care hospitals near you. The website also provides quality ratings, so you can see the provider or facility’s history of service, among other details that help you make the most informed decision on behalf of the person you’re helping.

Finding Health Care Services

The website provides a simple search and compare experience that allows you to find providers near you. Simply put in a ZIP code and the type of provider to receive a list of providers, their contact information and a map of locations. The information even includes “star ratings” and services provided. The tool can be used to find all sorts of providers, including doctors, hospitals, home health care agencies, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation providers, hospice and dialysis facilities. For example, two sisters needed to find a nursing home that was right for their father. This proved to be a difficult, emotional decision. They didn’t know what nursing homes were in the area where he lives, so they entered his ZIP code and searched for nursing homes. They then received a list of each one in his area, complete with ratings as well as staffing data and inspection reports. Using a laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile device, you can see how patients rate their care experiences at the hospitals in your area and find home health agencies that offer the services you might need, like nursing care, physical therapy and occupational therapy. Contact information for local inpatient rehabilitation facilities or long term care hospitals is available, as well as hospice quality care ratings and specific care details, such as which dialysis facilities offer home dialysis training.

Many factors influence who you trust with your health care. In some cases, family, caregivers or friends may offer referrals to a doctor or medical facility based on their own experiences, and that can be a helpful guide. Whether you have referrals or are starting from scratch, you can compare health care providers near you using the Medicare.gov tool, pinpointing which category of services you need, whether it’s doctors and clinicians, hospitals, hospice and home health agencies, dialysis facilities, inpatient rehabilitation centers or nursing homes. In addition to searching by your location using your address or a combination of city, state or ZIP code, you can search by provider type and keyword to generate a list of providers that could fit your needs.

Alternate idea: Replace two honey dew cubes with cube-shaped avocado.

Cut three cups of watermelon flesh into chunks. Remove seeds and liq uefy in a blender. Pour into ice-cube trays and freeze. For a satisfying cooldown beverage on a hot afternoon, fill a tall glass with the watermelon ice cubes and orange or grapefruit juice. Garnish with a whole strawberry or a thick triangular slice of watermelon with the pointed end slid onto the rim of the Whenglass.WATERMELONFRUITKEBABSservinggrilledchicken or beef kebabs, keep the food-on-a-stick theme and let one of your school-age kids skewer chunks of watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and kiwi on short wooden skewers. Strawberries look especially appealing on either end of the stick. Enjoy the fruit dipped in small dishes of fruit-flavored yogurt. family fun www.donnaerickson.com.
