Seniors Raising Grandchildren

A show of hands, please — how many of us are suddenly raising our grandchildren just when we were about to retire? Or maybe after we’ve already retired and have fewer resources and income? There are 2 1/2 million of us doing just that.

It wasn’t that long ago that we were on our own if a family situation fell apart and it became necessary for us to take in our grandchildren and raise them. Now we might be able to get some help. A new law was enacted this summer —The Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act — after being supported by 40 different advocacy organizations.

The new law will create an advisory council working under the Department of Health and Human Services to figure out what’s needed to help the children when it comes to health, nutrition and education, as well as help with our own mental and physical health. The council is supposed to research how to raise children, locate resources and so on, with an emphasis on children affected by drug addiction. The council was given six months to get their ducks in a row. That six months is now up.

If you’re hooked up with Social Services, give them a call and ask what help you can now get from this new law. We’re supposed to get a one-stop source for contacts and information.

Meanwhile, there are other places to seek help. Start with Grandfamilies.org [www.grandfamilies.org], which has information and support for those who are raising their grandchildren. Look for the state fact sheets to see what is available in your state. Look at the Search Laws section to make sure you know the local laws. Also go to aarp.org and do a search for “grandparents raising grandchildren.”

Million Dollar Quartet is the Tony Award-winning musical inspired by the famed recording session organized by Sam Phillips that brought four rock ‘n’ roll legends together for one time only.

This true story is both a musical and a concert, wrapped into one. Million Dollar Quartet brings this legendary night to life, featuring a treasure trove of popular hits such as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and more. This thrilling production brings you inside the recording studio for one unforgettable night showcasing an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, and country hits plus an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, and celebrations both poignant
and funny.

​Director of Business Development, Ennoble Nursing and Rehabilitation

Jennifer Driscoll, NP, doing rounds on Ennoble patients
Ennoble Nursing & Rehabilitation is pleased to share exciting news! Ennoble just completed our annual state survey and the verdict is in…NO DEFICIENCIES!!! As a care facility the staff put in long hours, dedicate their time, compassion, respect and knowledge to your loved ones. So, when Ennoble hears the words from department of inspection and appeals “At the time of this survey, No deficiencies were found.” We take a deep breath, we celebrate, we share this rewarding news with our community who has put their trust in Ennoble to care deeply for their loved ones.

Dr. Stanley Mathew 
specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Ennoble is proud to have specialized programs to fit each individual need overseen by our Medical Director, Dr. Greg Vandigo. We also have a Medical Doctor that specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, Dr. Stanley Mathew, along with two very passionate Nurse Practitioners, Whitney Hanken and Jennifer Driscoll. Rest assured, if our patients condition changes we have a network of provides overseeing their care. 

When people ask, “how do you choose which facility is right?” My response is “to preplan, prepare, and prethink your skilled or nursing home stay. Tour the facility, meet the staff, pick out a room, because after all it is your choice.” Its important to look at which facilities have specialty programs. Ennoble has developed a pulmonary rehab program, which improves the function and quality of our seniors. Ennoble also prides ourselves on wound care. We have a treatment nurse and a wound care nurse that will over see our patients care. 

​Ennobles philosophy is all about getting our patient functionally independent and safe in the environment which they chose to be right for them. Ennoble will continue to focus on continuum of care with our healthcare partners and do what is right for the patient.
