Around Town...

  Recently a friend had a family member that was being taken care of through Tidewell Hospice. When relaying all the kindness they showed not only the patient, but the family, too, it brought back to my mind the vivid warm memories that my family experienced during an equally trying time. If you aren't aware of all the aspects of the Hospice experience, please read further and visit their website...Keith
 

 

 Founded in 1980, Tidewell has grown significantly in the past three decades. Although hospice is often misunderstood as care just for cancer patients, Tidewell admits patients with a broad range of diagnoses, including heart and lung disease, AIDS, renal failure, ALS and end-stage Alzheimer's. Any disease with a predictable prognosis of six months or less is within Tidewell's admission criteria. Emphasizing patient choice and dignity, Tidewell provides its services to all, regardless of race, creed, culture, gender, sexual orientation or ability to pay.

 

A Philosophy of Care

 

When people think of health care breakthroughs, they usually think of new surgical procedures or miracle drugs, not hospice care. Hospice's story, however, is unique and remarkable. In just a little more than three decades, hospice has quietly revolutionized the way people in America live at the end of their lives by honoring wishes and bringing peace and dignity.

Many people, until they experience it themselves, do not understand the profound support and comfort hospice provides. Caring for a loved one can be rewarding and fulfilling for those who are able to see the experience as a final act of love. For others, however, it can be a lonely and often frustrating responsibility. Tidewell Hospice's professionals bring their own special touch to both - enhancing the experience for the former and easing the burden on the latter.

As the only local, not-for-profit hospice, Tidewell focuses on quality of life when quantity is no longer possible. When patients and families choose Tidewell, they receive care unlike any other. Tidewell goes to the patients, treats pain and symptoms and eases emotional and spiritual suffering. A team of dedicated health care experts and members of the community make it possible - doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, volunteers and grief specialists.

Home-based comfort care is the basic premise

Hospice is a program of care and support wherever patients need it. Home-based comfort care is the basic premise, and the reassurance of being at home, surrounded by loved ones and personal belongings is the cornerstone of hospice care.

Nearly all family caregivers experience physical and emotional stress. In order to continue in their role and still maintain their own well being, they need to be surrounded by compassionate support from professional caregivers. That has long been Tidewell's focus, placing the patients and families together at the center of care.

The cost of most hospice services are covered under Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance plans, HMOs and other managed care organizations. In addition, because of generous community support and memorial donations, Tidewell is able to provide services to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.

Fashion Forward!

Keith TowlesOne of the things I've noticed lately, is with all of the homes we're building (and the variety of clients) they have definite ideas as to how they want their homes to look . In the past, prospective homeowners relied on the builder for exterior elevations and ideas. Perhaps with the advent of HGTV, Houz & Pinterest a whole new world of design and fashion has entered the custom home building business and homeowners are more aware of what's available.

There is no "right or wrong". There are lots of different ideas - which makes each home interesting. Some of the features we're being asked for are: koi ponds, not only home offices, but  artist studios (for painting, sculpture and pottery) elevators, and larger garages (more storage). To accommodate these items, many homes are being built on two lots.

There is also a leaning toward "coastal contemporary" vs the Mediterranean exteriors that abound in our area. The coastal look also includes the West Indies style. Clean lines, dark beams and even wood ceilings on the Lanai.

Whatever the look or style you'd like, working with our draftsman and staff, we'll be happy to accommodate your wishes.

 

Thanks for all your support! 

Keith B. Towles

Anatomy of a Million Dollar Home... 

Garage Doors to Suit Your Homes' Style
  

Very often, one of the first things one notices about the fa�ade of a house is the garage door. 
With today's two and three car garages, they are much larger than in the past. Choosing a door that stylistically fits the architecture is important. Available in contemporary, with clean lines, wood look or real wood for traditional or Spanish architecture or custom doors styled specifically for your home.
 
Long panel traditional steel garage doors provide a low maintenance finish that looks great!
A combination of classic swing-open appearance and Amish detailing of wood doors
 

The Overhead Door Company of Ft. Myers, Naples and Port Charlotte, repairs, maintains and installs both residential and commercial garage doors and opening systems.

Insulated steel construction and fashioned to resemble traditional carriage house doors.

 

The Company will send a representative to visit your home for a free estimate, bringing samples. Or the homeowner can go to one of their showrooms for a larger selection. Overhead Door Company will apply for all permits and its licensed, insured and background checked employees do all the work. No sub-contractors for them. It also maintains twenty-four hour emergency services.

 

Besides updated styles, the biggest change in garage doors is windload doors. Every door the company installs meets or exceeds the Florida 2010 Building Code or the Miami/Dade Building Code Compliance Office.

The Company is the only in the region to receive IDEA accreditation and has several IDEA certified technicians. It is also a member of the International Door Association.

 

The Overhead Door Company of Ft. Myers, Naples and Port Charlotte is proud to have worked with the Towles Corporation for over thirty years providing the best garage doors manufactured. Bob Van Arnam (one of the owner/partners) stated "Towles Corporation an exceptional contractor who always uses upgraded product as standard in the homes it builds. They are a pleasure to work with."
