After demolishing the Worker’s School with bricks and clubs, the raiders went to the Workers' School, and continued the same technique of smashing anything from typewriters to windows.

The underground economy in the Rio Grande Valley is larger than most areas in Texas, because of the location of the valley and the influence the drug cartels have in Mexico and parts of the valley.

I visit the Springdale Nursing Home Facility. The people there were nice and I actually volunteered there to pursue my training in becoming a CNA. My mother used to work there a long time ago and she enjoyed it, but now everything has changed. At the agency, their mission is to care for the elderly and treat them with care. The agency allows extend care for their clients. They care for their clients as part of their own family. They help and reteach them how to do everyday living. There were some health issues, but instead of running around with their heads cut off. They treated the clients and made sure that everyone was okay. I can say that Springdale may not be the best place to take your family because some nurses do not treat them well.

I am seeking to find a home for my 76 year old Grandfather Leroy. It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to take care of himself and no family members are available to take care of him as it is becoming a full time job. He was diagnosed with colon cancer a few years back and his disease, in conjunction with chemotherapy, has taken away his capacity to care for himself. He was also recently diagnosed with Parkinson¡¯s disease. The name of the Nursing home that I chose to evaluate is the Lakeview Nursing Center.

The environmental health and demographics of a nation determine whether the nation is classified as high, middle, or low income. The World Bank provides global economic data for all nations. In my opinion the Rio Grande Valley can be considered a low income nation. The book talks about global stratification; this is the unequal distribution of resources among nations. The World Bank describes a low income nation whose gross national income per capita is $1,045 or less.
Have the American people thought about their life in the future? Will People need long term care? One long term care option is an Assisted Living Facility. Assisted livings need to be ran effectively with consideration of elder’s health, wellness and safety; while maintaining a balance between care and daily business functions.

It is not an easy decision to make but the family or individual has to decide what the best next step may be.
I attended Tabitha Square Gardens for my service learning. Tabitha Square Gardens is an assisted living facility in Crete. Assisted living is a philosophy of service that focuses on maximizing each resident's independence and dignity. This emphasizes flexibility, individualized supportive services and health care. Involvement of the community, as well as the residents' family, neighbors and friends is encouraged. The availability of staff to meet scheduled and unexpected care needs is a major aspect of assisted living caregiving. Assisted living serves a broad range of elderly (70 to 90+ years of age) becoming, in effect, a bridge between active retirement living and, for some, care in a nursing facility. Here I met Lillian and Jacky, both
