That was fun! I hope my post made it easier for you to find terrific deals on Amazon Prime Day. Let’s do this again next year!

These are the best deals I see so far:

Vera Bradley Medical Professional Tote

I love the gorgeous colors and designs of Vera Bradley products. Today Amazon deeply discounted many of their products. This one is my favorite:

 

Expandable Hardside Luggage

If you travel for your job, you’ll want to consider this great deal on American Tourister luggage.

 

Instant Pot Products

Many of you work long shifts and you’re tired when you get home. Instant Pots save a ton of time and help you create delicious and nutritious meals.

 

23andMe Health & Ancestry Service

I bought this as a gift for myself a couple of years ago, and I’ve had so much fun with it. The report taught me a lot about my genetic health risk factors, and it helped me get in contact with relatives I didn’t know existed.

 

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Amazon is offering deep discounts on headphones. Check out this terrific deal from Sony.

 

Blink Mini Indoor Cam

This highly-rated system helps you monitor what’s going on in your home when you’re away working long hours.

We all know how dry and irritated our skin can become when we’re washing our hands all the time. Bliss body butter soothes skin without feeling greasy.

 

Echo Dot (3rd gen)

An Echo Dot makes a terrific gift for yourself or an older adult in your life. You can access news, weather reports, phone calls, music, and much more.

No Touch Thermometer

During the pandemic, every household needs a reliable thermometer!

 

White Noise Machine

One nurse on our team brings a white noise machine along whenever we work out of town. It drowns out background noises in the hotel and helps her get a sound sleep.

 

Oral-B Electric Toothbrush

Keep your teeth healthy while saving lots of money on this Oral-B Genius X rechargeable electric toothbrush.

 

Insulated Lunch Tote

Durable and easy to carry, you can find this lunch tote in several designs and colors.

 

Dr. Scholl’s Shoe Inserts

I use these inserts in my work shoes, and they make an enormous difference in keeping my feet comfortable during long shifts.

 

Paul Mitchell Ceramic Flat Iron

You probably don’t have a lot of time to spend on your hair during these busy days. This highly-rated flat iron leaves hair smooth and shiny.

 

U.S.A. Map Puzzles

Amazon is offering excellent deals on Learning Journey puzzles. Many would be excellent additions to the activities department in your senior care community. Here’s one example:

Adaptive Clothing

Many people aren’t aware that Tommy Hilfiger has a line of adaptive clothing. Here’s one example featuring a Velcro closure and magnetic fly:

Compression Stockings

I don’t go to work without my compression stockings! Available in a fun variety of patterns.

 

Weighted Blanket

Promotes restful sleep after a long shift at work. Available in a variety of colors and patterns.

motivate nursing home residents to exercise

We all know the myriad of benefits that come with exercise. These benefits are available to our residents, too. Yet, often it’s very difficult to motivate residents to take part in our exercise programs.

Let’s begin with these 12 ways we can encourage exercise. I would love to hear your ideas, too!

Well, then you’ve come to the right place. You see, a person only needs to donate a portion of their liver to save a life, and it will grow back to normal size in about three months. Isn’t that amazing?

Today let’s look at what you need to know about becoming a living liver donor.
