“My Mother can’t wait for this year to end… but not for the reason you think.”

2021

It’s because she can finally move in to the new Palace in January! “She can’t wait to leave that big, lonely house and get to a warm and safe place, where she’s part of a community of neighbors like her, doing all the things she loves to do. We feel great about the luxury and comfort of the new Palace at Weston Senior Living. But right now what we love most is the careful, intelligent way they have set up their programs to meet or exceed every standard for health safety. We’ve talked to their team members, we’ve seen how they are trained, and our entire family has peace of mind with Mom living there. I tell all my friends who have older parents like me… go see the Palace at Weston. Their Leasing Center and models are fabulous.”

or many seniors, performing the most simple tasks can become a challenge and while they may need help with day to day activities, they may not want to live with their children or in an assisted living facility. For those individuals, Seniors Helping Seniors® is here to help. For the past six years, Seniors Helping Seniors has been pairing seniors in need with active seniors who can empathize and understand their needs. Seniors Helping Seniors Franchise Owner Diana Marrero Cabassi explains more about this unique service and how it may benefit you or your aging loved ones. What is Seniors Helping Seniors? We are a licensed agency that provides companionship care to seniors who need a little bit of help to stay home independently. What differentiates your business from other caregiver agencies? The quality of our caregivers and the fact that we are the only agency that, for the most part, employs active seniors as caregivers. This peer-to-peer approach is based on the idea that the best person to care for a senior is someone who can understand and relate to their needs. What do you look for when pairing caregivers with seniors needing help? We match people based on common interests. We employ people that are genuinely interested in helping others, who are caring and compassionate, and can relate to the people they are caring for. We like to say that it’s “Like getting a little help from your friends®”. Who is your typical client? Seniors who need help around the house and/or companionship.

Provides Companionship and Care People are living longer but not necessarily healthier lives. Additionally, loneliness affects many seniors and our service provides friendship to those who may be feeling a bit isolated or depressed. Who are your typical caregivers? Although our caregivers are unique in their own way, they are all loving, caring and compassionate individuals who understand the needs of the seniors they are assisting. Their backgrounds are as diverse as the people they are caring for. We look for people who have a volunteer heart that don’t mind getting paid for their services. What do you do to ensure the safety and security of your clients? I personally interview all potential caregivers and check their references. In addition, everyone is required to undergo a Level 2 FBI background screening, which is done at the national level. What services does Seniors Helping Seniors provide? Our caregivers can help with anything from preparing meals

to providing a ride to the doctor. We can assist with light housekeeping, doing the laundry, going to the grocery store or running other errands; we can even help in caring for their pets. In addition, we assist with assuring safety and fall prevention, medication reminders, memory loss support, relief for family members, overnight supervision and 24-hour care. In other words, we provide assistance when needed offering as much or as little support as the client needs. How did Seniors Helping Seniors start? Seniors Helping Seniors was founded over 20 years ago by Kiran and Philip Yocom. It was initially a non-profit organization that provided relief to members of their community in Pennsylvania. Prior to starting the company, Kiran had worked in India with Mother Teresa. I joined Seniors Helping Seniors after moving to Florida to help care for my mother when she was diagnosed with dementia. After learning how Seniors Helping Seniors placed such a high priority

on helping seniors maintain their independence and dignity, I decided to open a local office and I’m very fortunate that we have been providing service in the area since 2014! Please tell us more about the personalized service you provide. For the people who help in the Seniors Helping Seniors community, this is not just a job, and you are not just a client. We’re interested in who you are, what you need, and what you, in turn, can share with us. Our main goal is to provide loving, compassionate care. The most important thing for me is that seniors, who often are ignored and disrespected, are treated with dignity and given the respect they deserve. Anything else you would like to add? Our rates are very competitive, and we can tailor a plan of care to fit within most budgets. I encourage you to call and schedule a free in-home consultation.

If you’re looking for car leasing companies, it doesn’t take long to see that there are many options to choose from. Most of the leasing agencies in the area, however, all operate in basically the same way. They have contacts with all of the primary dealers in South Florida and choose from what is available. If you don’t know exactly what you want, you’ll have to drive around to multiple locations to see all your options. However, Epic Auto Lease is very different. They don’t have a physical car lot like other auto lease options. They serve customers through their online portal. If you decide to lease a car from Epic, they can deliver it directly to you at your home, office, or any other area that is convenient for you.

GoldFellow Offers a Safe, Secure & Convenient Way to Sell Gold, Silver, Platinum & Diamonds

D

o you have an old piece of jewelry around the house? Maybe it’s a broken bracelet or a ring you just don’t wear anymore. For many of us, those items simply sit in a drawer or a safe, collecting dust, never to be worn or seen again. That is where the folks at GoldFellow can help! GoldFellow will purchase unwanted gold, platinum, silver and diamond jewelry at very competitive prices. The company was founded by Robin and Michael Gusky. The couple previously owned one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of karat gold jewelry in the United States for 30 years before selling to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in 2007. They’ve taken that vast experience to create a firm you can trust. We sat down with the company founder, Michael, to learn more.

Tell us about GoldFellow We purchase consumers’ unwanted gold, platinum, silver, and diamond jewelry at very competitive prices. We also purchase fine Swiss timepieces such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Cartier. We have been in business since 2008. We are proud to have earned an A+ rating.

How does the process work? At GoldFellow, the process is totally transparent. Your items are tested right in front of you, using XRF x-ray technology, which shows the exact amount of precious metals it contains. The testing takes less than 10 seconds! Based on that reading and the weight of the item, we make you an offer on the spot. GoldFellow has the financial strength to pay its clients immediately regardless of the amount.

Is it a good time to sell precious metals? Yes! In fact, with precious metal prices at record high prices, one of our fastest-growing areas is purchasing gold and silver bullion, bars, and coins.

Can people trust your firm? We have been in business since 2008. We are proud to have earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and have hundreds of 5-star reviews. Our customers are throughout the United States. We are family owned and have been in the gold jewelry business for 40 years.

One thing is for certain about the people that work at The Mayor’s Cafe: they LOVE Pembroke Pines. It is the revitalization of the old-time neighborhood breakfast cafe and Bagel bar. The “homey” spot is open for breakfast and lunch every day and serves all of the traditional delights you’d expect at a Brooklyn deli. We love the omelets, but if you are feeling hungry, ask for the Mayor’s Skillet Breakfast! It includes three farm-fresh eggs, served over home fries with bacon, peppers, onions, and topped with melted cheese. If that won’t satisfy your appetite, nothing will!
