Being a caregiver can be very rewarding but can also be overwhelming and exhausting- especially during the busy holiday season. If your friend or relative is a caregiver, consider giving them  a break with a gift certificate for 3 hours or more of a temporary caregiver or home health aid.

Generation Solutions was a proud sponsor of the Annual Veteran’s Day Luncheon where over nearly 200 area veterans attended.

“Just Rewards” is a special day for Central Virginia caregivers. It is an opportunity to take a break from caregiving to pamper yourself, receive support, and enjoy a day of relaxation. You will also have a chance to visit the Aging and Caregiving Resource Center which is filled with an abundance of caregiving information.

Caregiving can be stressful, but we hope that the day’s activities will provide you the opportunity to leave it behind, if only for a little while, and enjoy yourself. The day is packed with activities to encourage you to put yourself first because taking care of yourself will make it easier to take care of others.

We also hope that you’ll meet new friends- friends who, like you, provide care for a loved one or offer support. Most of all, we hope that you relax and make the most of this day. You deserved “Just Rewards”.”

Time: 9:00am – 2:00pm

501 12th Street at the corner of 12th and Madison Streets

On September 11, 2011 folks in Roanoke took a step back in time with a free sock hop at Tanglewood Mall. Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism and Generation Solutions transported grandparents and their families back to the 1950’s and 1960’s with their second annual Grandparent’s Day celebration. Attendees enjoyed music of that era provided by the 40 Years After band and there were contests galore and even a visit and a performance from the “King” himself. They rounded out the festivities with complimentary hotdogs and a root beer floats. We hope to see you there next year!

We spent the afternoon in the WSET studio beginning with an interview of Tracey Davis, Americana Show Director along with Americana Show performers Karl Lindevaldsen, Kaleb Lindevaldsen and Farrah Davis, conducted by Living in the Heart of Virginia host, Lisa to discuss the upcoming show. Following the interview, the 3 performers sang a paired down studio version of “Let’s Go Fly A Kite”.  We will post a video of our time in the studio once it becomes available. Here are some photos from our visit.
