By Mark Noack Mountain View Voice fficials with the U.S. Geological Survey say Othey intend to shut down the agency’s West Coast science center in Menlo Park over the coming years and relocate it to NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in Mountain View. The first phase of the transi- tion is expected to occur over the next year with about 175 employees — around one-third of the USGS Menlo Park staff — moving to Moffett Field.

The full transition to Moffett Field in Mountain View is expected to take up to five years.

Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client's unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.
