Home Care in Greenville, SC  – Digging Country Music!

October is country music month! For those who already love this genre of music, it’s good news to hear. Americans obviously dig country music, if you look at the song popularity charts as well as take into considerations some of the popular reality talent shows where a country music person is voted as the winner.

How to celebrate country music month

There are a few ideas for celebrating this month, and you can include your aging parent too. They would have a great time watching all the family members dress up and dance!

1.     Invite everyone to wear country clothes, cowboy boots and straw hats. Put on some country music and have a family dance. Serve chili and biscuits after.

2.     Host a “mock country music awards” night

3.     Play some country music while playing board and card games at the table

4.     Make a “name that tune” country music game. Choose some songs and play a little bit of the song without giving away the name of the song. Have players choose from a list who the artist is and name of the song. Give out prizes at the end

A little bit of history

·      Country music month first started back in 1964, so it is celebrating its 50th year

Busting boredom

·      Being around family members, no matter the occasion, is enjoyable for seniors

Founder at Heart of the Carolinas

Edward Harrison founded the Heart of the Carolinas Homecare in 2007 when he saw there was a need for caregivers that provide non-medical home care services, at a price that most people could afford. It was standard in the industry to require hourly minimums and it was common to be assigned a caregiver, not matched with one based on your individual personal needs. Edward understood that to make a successful relationship between caregiver and client, skills were not enough, personality and compatibility plays as much a role as do skills.
