Welcome to February’s testimonial post! At J&D Ultracare, we help medically fragile children in Rockland, Dutchess, Putnam County, Westchester, Sullivan, Ulster, and Orange Counties. When the parents of our patients write to us, we love to share what they have to say here on the blog. We even receive testimonials from our own nurses!

Today, we want to share two testimonials from Google Reviews. One is from a parent who needed specialized care for her sons and came to J&D Ultracare for help. The other is from one of our nurses who was excited to learn on the job and help as many people as possible.

• Victoria: I want to thank J & D Ultracare for their continued support with my medically fragile sons. The entire staff has a hand in our success. The nurses employed by J & D are very knowledgeable and eager to learn new things in our ever changing environment. Even with the nursing shortage I know that they are actively working on various recruitment tactics to add more staff to the ever growing caseload. I appreciate the attentiveness that is afforded to me when need. This has been a tough journey but I know we’re not doing it alone. Especial thank you to Kerry and Geri for being such a great support system for me.
• Jo: Awesome company to work for!! Weekly pay check. Great training. Great fellow employee’s. A company that goes above and beyond for the employee and the client. Electronic charting, so no more paper charts to mail by Friday, in order to get paid. Benefits are available to choose from. Great cases to choose from in many areas, including the Hudson Valley Area: Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Rockland, and Westchester. Don’t hesitate to contact J&D Ultracare to learn more about this company and get started right away as many cases are added weekly.

Valentine’s Day is coming soon in February! There is no better way to celebrate than to involve your kids in the festivities. The more you involve your kids in regular activities, the happier they will be. That’s why we wanted to talk about four different Valentine’s Day activities that you can do with your kids this year!

These four tips come for an article on Super Healthy Kids. If you like these ideas and want more, the full article contains fourteen fun activities that you can do with children. You can find the full article by clicking here, otherwise, here are four of our favorites from the post:

• Make Valentine heart love notes: Decorate your child’s door with love notes.  Use construction paper hearts and fill them with things you love or appreciate about him for him to wake up to on Valentine’s Day.  Or start on February 1 (or whenever you choose) and post one or two hearts each night.
• Decorate the house: Have everyone participate in decorating the house with homemade or store bought decorations.  Use Valentine’s cards from years past to decorate as well. 
• Make gift certificates: Have the family make gift cards for one another.  A few that would be well received in my house would be “I will do one chore for you,” “I will play Legos with you for 15 minutes,” and “Let’s make a Saturday morning pancake breakfast.”
• Get cookin’ in the kitchen: Get everyone involved in creating Valentine’s Day breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.  Children of all ages can help with various kitchen tasks.

At J&D Ultracare, we strive to provide the best nursing services that we can to the medically fragile population. For over 35 years, our nurses have taken care of children in their own homes to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. Helping others is what we love to do and we’re glad we can make a difference in the world at J&D Ultracare!

However, it’s not just our nurses that keep these kids healthy, it’s the parents too! There are things that parents can easily do, like forming good eating habits, to make sure their kids are happy and healthy. That’s why this week, we want to discuss three different tips you can incorporate to get your kids to eat healthier.

The three tips below come from a fantastic article on Kid’s Health. If you find these tips helpful, you can check out the original post by clicking here, which contains ten different tips for parents. Here’s what the article says:

1. Parents control the supply lines. You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. Though kids will pester their parents for less nutritious foods, adults should be in charge when deciding which foods are regularly stocked in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the cupboard and fridge at home. If their favorite snack isn’t all that nutritious, you can still buy it once in a while so they don’t feel deprived.

2. From the foods you offer, kids get to choose what they will eat or whether to eat at all. Kids need to have some say in the matter. Schedule regular meal and snack times. From the selections you offer, let them choose what to eat and how much of it they want. This may seem like a little too much freedom. But if you follow step 1, your kids will be choosing only from the foods you buy and serve.

3. Quit the “clean-plate club.” Let kids stop eating when they feel they’ve had enough. Lots of parents grew up under the clean-plate rule, but that approach doesn’t help kids listen to their own bodies when they feel full. When kids notice and respond to feelings of fullness, they’re less likely to overeat.
