With the holiday season gearing up into full swing, most of us are more concerned about how big of a turkey (and then tree) to get than we are about our flexible spending account through work. Financial experts will tell you that is a big mistake – if you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer and you don’t use that money by the end of the year then you’ll lose it. That’s right – use it or lose it. This is also the time of year for open enrollment for employee benefits, so if you haven’t been taking advantage of your ability to save through a FSA...

Safety Bathtubs Prevent Elderly Falls
Posted by ActiveForever

Safety bathtubs, more commonly known as walk in bathtubs, are an ideal fall prevention for the elderly in the bathroom.  More falls occur for the elderly in the bathroom than in any other room in the home, and a majority of those bathroom falls happen in conjunction with the bath or shower (how many times have you heard the familiar refrain that he/she was getting in/out of the bath/shower when they fell and broke their hip?).
