What services and products can I add to a senior home service?
Q. What do seniors, typically over the age of 70, buy and use? What services can be added to a already existed home care service for the elderly?
Asked by Dan P - Fri Feb 27 15:01:30 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Anything that helps keep them safe and comfortable in their own home, from cleaning and painting right down to walking the dog and mowing the lawn. And yes even wash windows. Too many services just take care of the person , not their home. Maybe they cannot clean the oven, or change a light bulb. Or scrub the bathtub. Simple things that mean a lot to them.

What support services are provided to people who are mentally handicapped today?
Q. What support services are provided to people who are mentally handicapped today and how is the service today compared with the service they recieved in the 1930's?
Asked by volleyball - Tue Mar 3 21:44:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends on what the person with a mental disability needs. A vocational rehabilitation counselor will provide available services from their office based on individual assessment of the client's capabilities versus the office resources. But cumulatively, services are much better than in 1930's America. First, people with disabilities are not automatically institutionalized away--out of sight, out of mind. Secondly, they are legally entitled to obtain a free appropriate and quality public education (aka special education) in their local school district. This was unknown in the 1930's. You did not educate people with disabilities because they were not expected to be productive in the public sphere doing anything.

Electrical question...What size should service wires be for 2 one-hundred amp services in a two family house?
Q. I ask that becuase NEC code specifies wire size for services according to amperage for single and multifamily dwellings...but don't specify if you're suppose to add the amperage up if you have more than one service...or the wire size that will accomodate 100 amp service will still be sufficient with another 100 amp service.
Asked by Scarface - Sun Sep 2 23:42:34 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. this depends on whether both 100 amp services will use the same drop line or will have separate drop lines with separate weather heads...if both of them will be gang mounted with one service head then you will have to use 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum...if they are` both going to have there own weather head and services then you would only need 1/0 copper or 2/0 aluminum...plus grounds for both services...

A. Even if your grandma gave the family member who wants to put her into a home a medical power of attorney, she can revoke that if she is of sound mind. There is a concern about who will provide adequate care for your grandmother when she comes home from the hospital. Depending on her conditions, provisions can be made for home care. Contact your local senior services office to ask what sort of support they can offer. Does someone need to be with your grandmother all the time? If so, can the ones who want to help her stay at home take turns? Social service people in the hospital seem to want to push the elderly into nursing homes right away. It makes you wonder whether the nursing homes are giving them commissions. When the… [cont.]

A. Take a look at the pet sitting market and get some ideas from them. Call up a few of the sitting services and ask about the pricing for flea infestation scenarios. Most boarding locations will not accept a pet that does have a flea problem. That is done to prevent other pets from developing flea problems and to keep the staff healthy. If you are able to obtain a copy of a pet sitting agreement from one of the established firms, you would have a better legal idea of what you are dealing with.

How does an international traveler on a visa get services that require a social security number?
Q. Most services like telephone, cable TV and internet ask for a social security number in order to establish service, primarily because they want to run a credit check.

Asked by bobbi123 - Tue Dec 23 17:47:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Basically, when you buy music from iTunes, it comes with a copyright protection called DRM. These DRM-protected songs are locked so that they only work with Apple MP3 players. That means that if you bought a Microsoft Zune, you cannot use iTunes music. So, what is the solution? You have to burn a CD. When you do this, the DRM is removed (because the music is converted to a non-DRM-compatible media). After you burn the CD, you can rip it to your PC as an MP3 file which no longer has DRM. Alternatively, you can use TuneClone ( ). TuneClone makes a virtual CD-ROM drive, tricking your PC into believing that you are burning a CD. Therefore, the DRM is removed without wasting a CD.

How is custody determined when social services takes the kids?
Q. A woman I know of is most likely going to lose her kids due to abuse. Kentucky social services is talking about giving "indefinate" custody to one of the kids' (divorced) grandparents or other relatives like an aunt or uncle. How will they determine who will get the children? Living conditions, location (as in how close to the mother), financial stability, etc? Can an unmarried, heterosexual, financially stable couple ask for custody? How much will small-town politics help someone who doesn't deserve the kids gain custody? If custody is granted to someone and they move in with the mother, will social services re-take the kids? **Anything** you can tell me related to the above would be appreciated, especially if you can provide links.

A. The best interests doctrine will always come into play. Before the custodial rights can be permanently terminated, the courts have to get involved. At that time, the judge, in conjunction with Protective Services, will evaluate the parents -- and determine if, in fact, abuse did occur. . . what type and how severe that abuse was . . . as well as who the perpetrator was. They'll determine which of the parents (if either) are more apropriate to care for the children -- mentally, physically, financially. If the parents live together, or are both abusive (or provide an inhospitable environment -- such as alcholics, drug abusers . . . ) the court can look outside the parents to grandparents, adult siblings, aunts/uncles. . .

Your service could send out emails in the form of a generic cover letter. The form could state a person's intentions in generic terms and say that a personal message will be coming later. You could also provide a chat room where the jilted could commiserate with each other. It might be different to make the whole process transparent so that everyone who visits your site could see the interchange of ideas and conflicts. In fact, the other users could provide their own ideas about reconciliation or retribution.
