Safer Ways to Enjoy the Super Bowl football watch party Gathering virtually or with the people you live with is the safest way to celebrate the Super Bowl this year. If you do have a small gathering with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is safer than indoors. This year, choose a safer way to enjoy the game. Host a virtual Super Bowl watch party.... Wear clothing or decorate your home with your favorite team’s logo or colors. Make appetizers or snacks with the people you live with to enjoy while watching the game and share the recipes with your friends and family. Start a text group with other fans to chat about the game while watching. Attend an outdoor viewing party where viewers can sit 6 feet apart. Use a projector screen to broadcast the game. Sit at least 6 feet away from people you don’t live with.

QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON A HOMECARE PROVIDER: Home care choices can be difficult and we realized there are several options available to you. To help you, the Home Care Association of America recommends you ask the following questions of your prospective home care providers including: How do you recruit your caregivers?... Should a scheduling conflict occur, are there trained back-up caregivers? Are your caregivers bonded and insured? Are the caregivers employees of the provider and who handles payroll and required taxes for the caregiver? What type of background checks and screening do you do? Senior Planning Services also suggests the following additional questions: Who supervises your caregivers? What are their credentials? Do you offer Geriatric Care Management services as well?
