Greetings!
School, football, harvest, yard clean up: September is a busy month. We hope you are able to take a moment (before the weather changes completely) and enjoy the moderate temperatures, and spending time with those you love. "In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, save perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb color effects as from August to November."
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905 If you were forwarded this issue of CARING Connections, or you are viewing it on our website, you can sign up for your own subscription by clicking here.

A Reason to Share Passwords
If you are one of the 36.4 million households who bank online--there is one more thing to consider when planning your estate.  You may have heard of discussions regarding the digital legacy of a deceased family member being a difficult issue because of privacy policies, and these privacy rules can create a cumbersome hurdle for the family. The simplest of resolutions can be adding details for online access to your safe or safe deposit box. However, many people are diligent to change passwords frequently. For more information and solutions, see the New York Times article "Leaving Behind the Digital Keys to Financial Lives."

Aging Animals Receive Human Treatments
Just as with humans, aging takes a toll on our pets. Hair color changes, listlessness and stiffness are only visual reminders of the changes inside. Disease plagues our furry loved ones as well.  Some veterinarians have found treatments designed for humans to be beneficial for animals. Here is a list of five possibly surprising treatments now used on animals (medical marijuana included.) Does anyone else wonder if someday we will need regulations on human testing for animal treatments? |
First Day of Fall (Prevention)
September 22 marks the first official day of autumn. In order to create awareness about the leading cause of accidental death in adults age 65 and older it is also a day to spread information regarding fall prevention.  There are several easy steps you can take to prevent falls and reduce the fear of falling in older adults. For example, remove throw rugs and incorporate confidence-building exercise.
