A funeral home and its staff play a criticalrole in planning and carrying out a meaningfulcelebration of life. Funeral professionals havethe knowledge and experience to help youunderstand the different burial and cremationoptions available.

Behind the scenes, the funeral home addsvalue in numerous ways before and after theservice – arranging to bring a loved one intotheir care, obtaining required legal documents,preparing a loved one for viewing, planningservices, arranging for final disposition,providing facilities for visitations and services,as well as discussing death benefits such associal security or Veteran's benefits. The funeralhome is trained to assist families cope with deathand some even sponsor grief related counselingas part of their service.

Many funeral homes also offerprearrangement options for anyone wanting tomake their own arrangements. Counselors areavailable to meet with you, to answer anyquestions you may have with appointmentsavailable during evening hours as well as duringthe day.

No one wants to think about their death anysooner than they must, but preplanning is aresponsible, caring act that can reduce stress foryour grieving loved ones. It’s easy to understand

how making decisions now about your finalarrangements can help assure those left behindthat your wishes are being honored.

“I’m glad I prearranged my funeral andcemetery services because after losing my wife acouple of months ago, I don’t want my family tohave any worries or go through what I had to gothrough both emotionally and financially.”

- Jerome M., 62

So what sets one funeral home apart fromanother? The service descriptions sound similar;caskets, urns and vaults look similar. Even thefuneral facilities can appear similar. But all ofthese features can be misleading. In fact it can bevery difficult for a consumer to see thedifference! What makes it all the more confusingis when a low cost service assures you they willgive you the same attention as a full-servicefuneral home. What are you to believe?

Service can only be measured by the qualityof the professional staff employed at a funeralhome and the number of staff available to assistyou and your family in a dignified mannerduring the funeral process. Quality funeralhomes invest in training in every area of thearrangement process and recognize the goal isyour ultimate satisfaction.

Peels are one of my absolute favorite skin caresecrets to share with my clients. They enable you tosee and feel an immediate difference in your skin.Superficial peeling brings fresh new skin to thesurface for a glowing complexion that has a moreeven tone and refined texture. Peeling also helps tominimize fine lines, wrinkles and age spots.However many people are still unfamiliar with thevarious benefits of regular peels. What can peelingdo for my skin? How do I choose which one is rightfor my skin type? Won't my skin be red and peelingfor days after? What products do I use after a peel?These are a few of the questions clients generallyhave.

A superficial enzyme or chemical peel involvesthe removal of the excess accumulation of dead skinscells and microbial build up from the stratumcorneum, the outermost layer of the skin. Theselighter types of peels are administered by a licensedesthetician, while deeper peels designed to penetratethe epidermis are usually performed under thedirection of a doctor.

Peels have been used since ancient times tosmooth and rejuvenate the skin. Lactic acid frommilk and other fruit acids have been used throughouthistory for their excellent exfoliating properties.Today we have many different degrees and types ofpeels. The most commonly used are Enzyme,Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic acid peels.

Enzyme peels are the mildest of the peels.Natural enzymes and antioxidants are used to gentlyremove cellular and microbial debris from thesurface and normalize skin function. Enzyme peelsare beneficial for sensitive, mature, acneic andnormal skin types. Generally there is no redness withthis type of peel. Just fresh, glowing and deeplycleaned skin.

Glycolic acid, derived from cane sugar, is thestrongest of the alpha hydroxyl acids. It has thesmallest molecular size of all the AHAs, which

allows more effective penetration of the stratumcorneum. The bonds between cells are loosened,allowing them to slough off. This process works tostimulate collagen and the growth of new skin cells.Glycolic acid also helps reduce surface oils, whichlead to blackheads and other impurities. This type ofpeel is used for mature, aging, and hyper-pigmentedskin. Also very beneficial for large pores and acne.Some mild redness may occur, but usually subsidesby the end of the treatment or later the same day.

Lactic acid, another AHA, is derived from sourmilk. It works in much the same way as Glycolicacid but is milder on the skin. This makes it a greatchoice for those with sensitive or dry skin andconditions such as rosacea. Lactic acid smoothes thecomplexion, reduces fine lines and lifts pigmentationwhile eliminating toxins and build up.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxyl acid derivedfrom willow bark, sweet birch and wintergreen. Thispeel is highly effective at deeply cleansing pores,while also lessening the appearance of fine lines andwrinkles. Salicylic acid has an anti inflammatorybenefit as well as helping to balance oil production inthe skin. Most often used for acne, sun damage,blackheads, large pores and age spots. Salicylic acidcan cause some mild peeling of the skin up to 3 daysafter treatment.

Peels are best done in a series of 3-6 treatments,about every or every other week. After care isextremely important when it comes to peels.Sunscreen is an absolute must! It is imperative toprotect your skin after receiving a peel, you've juststripped your outer layer of protection. Avoiding SPFwill only cause further damage to the skin. I alsorecommend clients use an organic moisturizer orserum with anti inflammatory ingredients to speedhealing.

If you have questions or would like to know moreabout how peels can improve your skin, please call541-821-2802 for a skin care consultation or visitwww.balancedskinbeauty.com.

According to the State of Oregon, you have theright to select the motor vehicle repair shop ofyour choice. Not all body shops are the same.While there are many shops that provide excellentservice and quality repairs, there are importantaspects to consider when choosing a repair center:

• Training – Certified training is crucial toensure proper repairs. As vehicles advancewith technology, it is imperative thattechnicians stay current with the changes. I-CAR training is a designation to look foralong with Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM) certifications. I-CAR is conducted bya certified trainer and the requirementsinclude documented hours plus testing onspecific topics and annual continuededucation is necessary to stay current. OEMcertification is where a collision repairfacility has completed recommendedcollision industry training and/or hasexhibited excellence in the collision repairprocess and procedures through verificationof a particular manufacturer. For instance, ifyou own a Honda, look for a shop that isHonda ProFirst certified. Just a note, not allmanufacturers have certifications.

• Customer Service – Everybody wants to betreated with respect and feel important. Fromthe manner that the phone is answered to thedelivery process, this dictates the level ofcustomer service. How friendly and helpfulis the staff? Does the body shop give updateson the repair process? Is there a survey tocomplete to give feedback with yourexperience? If you pose a question, do theyanswer it to the best of their ability? Are theemployees competent? Do you feel like youare able to express concerns? Are your needsbeing heard? These are important questionsthat can create a pleasurable experience withan unleasurable circumstance.

• Loaner Cars – Often times when a collisionrepair is needed, customers do not have othertransportation. Some body shops provideFREE loaner cars for the customer. A loanercar is an option when rental reimbursement isnot on the insurance policy or if the customeris paying out-of-pocket. There are usuallygeneral guidelines to using a loaner car: Thecustomer must be over 18 years of age; theymust have full-coverage insurance; a $50hold on a major debit or credit card,refundable as long as there is no damageupon the return; the customer agrees to staywithin a 50 mile radius each day of the storeand no smoking/pets. A rental agreement issigned and the customer acceptsresponsibility. Over a period of time, this cansave the customer hundreds of dollars.

• Equipment – State-of-the-art equipment isimportant when repairing highly advancedvehicles of today. This includes themeasurement and frame straightening of theunibody, to the welding and replacement ofbody panels, to the refinishing. Does theshop have the ability to measure andstraighten your vehicle to bring it back tooriginal manufacturer specifications? Doesthe shop have resistant spot welders, siliconebronze or aluminum welders? The shopshould have the ability to useenvironmentally friendly waterborne paintand be able to “bake” the clear coat.Nowadays, all of this is absolutely necessary.

The key to a successful repair is beingeducated and empowered. Choosing the rightbody shop is as challenging as finding the rightdoctor, dentist or lawyer.

We agree with Dr. John Prescott, chiefacademic officer at the Association of AmericanMedical Colleges, who says “Healing is an art,medicine is a profession, health care is a business.”Hospice care may be one of the rare times when allthree align.

Hospice is an art, sensitively responding topatient cues for comfort and healing. Healinghappens and bonds are strengthened whenopportunities for forgiveness, closeness anddignity is encouraged. Healing for patients andloved ones happens as positive memories arecreated in a beautiful setting with comfortingaesthetics with sensory experiences from pleasantsights, smells, sounds, taste and touch.

Hospice requires professional medicalexpertise balancing pain and symptommanagement with desired lucidity for importantlast days. Professional palliative and hospice caredoctors and nurses help find the balance while thebody is shutting down. Professional social workersand chaplains help with emotional and spiritualpain while facilitating the best quality of lifepossible.

Hospice is good business too, while providingwhat 80% of what Americans say they want--to dieat home surrounded by loved ones—and avoidingthe astronomical expenses of intensive care units,hospitalization and other institutional care.

When Staying at Home on Hospice is NotPossible

The ProblemThe problem is providing care for a loved one

dying at home can be scary, difficult, andexhausting. Many don’t realize the Medicarecovered hospice nurse, soci al worker and chaplainvisit a few times a week and delegate the majorityof the caregiving to the spouse, child, parent orpaid caregiver, often at great expense. Further, fordying people without able-bodied, willing and

capable family or friends to provide end-of-lifesupport, dying at home on hospice care is not anoption. A Residential Care Facility Specializing inHospice

A dedicated hospice RCF provides patientsand families with a peaceful home-likeenvironment while providing physical andemotional care by compassionate andknowledgeable hospice-trained providers.Certified nurse assistants, hospice trainedvolunteers and a registered nurse, administrator,volunteer and activities director provide the care.

Benefits of Residential Care for Hospice:

Patient BenefitsPatients will be safe, comfortable and cared for

so their last weeks or days are peaceful anddignified. The hospice RCF focuses on the qualityof the end-of-life experience, recognizing theindividual’s need for comfort, human touch,freedom from pain and fear, allowing for qualitytime for sharing stories with loved ones. Thissetting and care will strive to enable patients topass with dignity and respect while respectingindividuality and traditions. Family Benefits

Loved ones benefit from a hospice RCF, aswell. A hospice-supported passing provideslasting benefits for the patients’ loved ones byallowing them to spend precious time together todeal with unfinished business, reflect, meet theirown needs, and perhaps reconnect with thepatients or others close to the patient. While ourstaff provides physical care, following the plan ofcare managed by the visiting Medicare hospiceproviders, loved ones are free to focus on what’smost important.
