The Ageless Dreamer® Foundation, making our oldest generation’s dreams come true!

For most of us, dreams are the things that life is made of. But in today’s society, if you’re older, dreaming is, too often, in vain. The Ageless Dreamer® Foundation is dedicated to the sole proposition that being part of our oldest generation is no reason for having to dream in vain.

Founded in January 2006 the Ageless Dreamer® Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to making dreams come true for those over the age of seventy.

Never leave a burning candle unattended!

Safe candle use

• Use candle holders that are sturdy, won’t tip over easily, are made from a material that can’t burn, and are large enough to collect dripping wax
  
• Place candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface – away from edges and any place where they could be knocked over by children or pets.
  
• Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and loose clothing away from the flame
  
• Keep candle wicks trimmed to one-quarter inch
  
• Extinguish candles when they burn down to within two inches of their holder or any decorative material
  
• Extinguish candles carefully. Do not leave the room until wicks have stopped glowing.
  
• Do not leave young children unattended in a room with a candle
  
  

Healthcare Facts

The healthcare workforce is expected to grow 25% by 2010. America is aging and will require more healthcare. One in five will be elderly by the year 2030.

Education with a Purpose

The aging population, declining workforce and the high cost of healthcare are coming together to create a crisis situation in many of the healthcare professions. Although the need for more healthcare providers is widely publicized, there is still a critical need in many areas of the health industry. One such area of need that has been identified at the national, regional and local level is the critical shortage of Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs). The Licensed Nursing Assistant and similar classifications have been identified as the third largest growing occupation in response to the increasing need for senior care in long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and senior housing.
