Caregiving for family members

The Schmieding Center in Bella vista is redesigning the Caregiver Classes designed to help family member provide care for their loved ones. Ellen Creakbaum, RN, MS established a focus group of community residents to consider the needs of the local community. In response to their suggestions, the Family Caregiver Program has been expanded.

The first class is called “Caregiving 101”. In this class individuals identify just what care their loved one needs. The class explores the difference between “what they want to do” and “what they can do”. In some cases, the family member is not physical able to provide the needed care.

The second class, “Caregiving 201” involves neighbors and friends who find themselves helping someone other than their family member. It will help them determine what help the person needs and help them asses the needs of the individual and identify when they need to say “no” and suggest professional help.

These two programs last about 1 to 2 hours and can be presented any place in the community. Call 479-876-2335 if your organization is interested in have one or both of these classes presented.

The third and fourth classes will be held at the Schmieding Center in Bella Vista. This third will include how to find a professional caregiver or other help find more appropriate living arrangements. The class will discuss ways to assess what level of care the person might need.

The final class is a practical caregiving class where the participants will be taught how to bathe a person in bed, how to help with a walkers, as well as other skills. For further information and a schedule of classes, please call, 479-876-2335.

Grill Up a Father’s Day Feast (Family Features) Make Father’s Day special by combining two of Dad’s favorite things – sweet treats and the grill. Hot dogs have gone gourmet and a big, juicy hamburger or steak is a tried-and-true classic. But, this year, show Dad how much you love him with a healthy twist on two American favorites – the chicken wing and watermelon.

Get the kids involved in the meal preparation by creating a fun dessert. They can use a small ice cream scoop or melon baller to scoop out watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew. Serve the cool, refreshing treat in a pretty bowl or thread the melon balls onto skewers. Slices of watermelon can also be cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters. Add the shapes to the plate for a fun garnish or place one or two on the rim of a glass to add a festive flair.

Grilling out is a time-honored tradition so fire up the charcoal and let the celebration begin.

Look for more fun ways to enjoy watermelon and sign up for a free newsletter, at

Makes 2 cups. Keep warm.

To prepare the chicken, place the chicken in a large zipper lock bag with rest of the ingredients and seal tightly. Allow to marinate at least 2 hours or up to 12.

Green Ways to Beautify Your Home (Family Features) When it comes to improving your home, it’s easier than ever to make eco-friendly choices that save you money, are better for the environment and make your home more beautiful. Here are a few easy ways you can go green all over the house.

Light it Up – As you make the switch from incandescent bulbs, it’s important to look for a bulb that will not only conserve energy and save money, but that gives you the kind of illumination you want.

Look for an alternative with even light distribution, such as 3M LED Advanced Light. It lights up a room as beautifully as you would expect, and lasts for 25 years, delivering energy efficiency without compromise. It uses one quarter of the energy used by an incandescent light bulb and can save you up to $140 worth of electricity over the bulb’s lifetime. In addition, it contains no mercury and does not need special disposal. Learn more at www.3MLighting.com/LED. Decorate with Recycled Materials – Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or want to buy ready-made items, there are plenty of options that keep materials out of landfills. Look for furniture made from reclaimed wood, carpets made from recycled plastic, flooring made from sustainable resources such as bamboo or cork, and wallpaper made from managed timber sources. You can find glassware, dinner sets and accessories made from recycled glass, and textiles like curtains and blankets made from organic fibers.

Save Water with Style – Upgrading your water-using devices can help you use less water and save money. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that products with the WaterSense or EnergyStar labels will cut down on your water usage. For example, replacing faucets and aerators with WaterSense models can save you an average of 700 gallons of water per year. Replacing your showerhead could save 2,900 gallons of water per year, and a new toilet could save you 13,000 gallons of water per year. Look for the EnergyStar label on dishwashers and washing machines – they can use up to half as much water and 40 percent less energy.

Clean Green – Keep your home sparkling clean with eco-friendly cleaners and detergents. Look for products with plant-based ingredients and that are free from artificial chemicals, colors and fragrances. And learn to make your own cleaners, too. Baking soda and vinegar are natural products with a lot of cleaning power.

Making some green improvements around your house is easier than you think – and the payoff is a beautiful home and a better environment.
