Living On Your Own provides practical advice and information to help students make the transition from living at home to being responsible for themselves. The first section, Moving In, gives students the experience of setting up a household and discovering their own sense of design style. The second section, Food, covers everything from grocery shopping, meal planning, understanding and using a cookbook, to following a recipe. The Cleaning and Laundry sections prepare students for the less glamorous side of independent living with helpful tips to deal with basic chores. The Health and Safety sections are a reminder that living on your own means being responsible for you own health and well-being. Follow-up activities include practical application math, basic comprehension questions to reinforce understanding, and practical writing exercises. Some questions ask students to think about the information given and express their opinions and ideas. The vocabulary section includes a glossary of words students may not be familiar with.

Download or read book My Last Stop written by Margery Fridstein and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We never used the phrase 'last stop' or explicitly announced to our children that this was where we were going to die. Yet I think we all knew that was the plan." Margery Fridstein and her husband, Bob, were active seniors, working and skiing into their eighties. They were close to their adult children, scattered across the country, but valued their independence. So when health issues drew them away from their beloved home in the Colorado mountains, they looked for a place that would support their lifestyle now and eventually care for them if their health failed. Like tens of thousands of other Americans, they chose a Continuing Care Retirement Community. Fridstein, a psychotherapist with a lifetime of experience evaluating people and relationships, shares her resulting ups and downs in this intimate, clear, funny, and informative memoir. She's ready to answer the questions about retirement community living that matter to seniors but are rarely addressed by outsiders. What are the people like? What is the food like? What are the rules? What will I do all day? What if I get sick? Is it really possible--or even a good idea--to live with so many old people? And in her own matter-of-fact way, she also tackles tough questions about handling the loss of health and loved ones, and eventually end-of-life decisions. Charming and conversational, Margery's insights will be a valuable resource for seniors, and their families, who are considering their own decisions about aging well.
