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.

The district last week hired an interim Title IX compliance officer, John DiPaolo, with a plan to make that a full-time position to re- port directly to the superinten- dent. Previously, Autrey and then Wade had doubled as the district’s Title IX officer. The district is also consider- ing hiring a full-time Title IX investigator, and McGee recent- ly proposed making a relatively new part-time position, legal requests specialist, full time to support Title IX compliance. At the school sites, three of Palo Alto Unified’s five sec- ondary schools — Terman and Jordan middle schools and Gunn High School — and one elementary school, Palo Verde, will have new principals in the fall. In the last three years alone, Jordan has seen as many principals: Tom Jacoubowsky led the school on an interim ba- sis in 2015-16 after Greg Barnes left for a district-level job in the Milpitas Unified School Dis- trict. Jacoubowsky’s permanent replacement, Katie Kinnaman, announced in April she will be relocating to Texas at the end of the school year. Since McGee was hired in 2014, the 12 elementary schools have also seen significant shuf- fling of leadership. Half of the principals in place in the fall of 2014 are now in different posi- tions, most as the principals of other elementary campuses. Collins said he’s confident the school district, as a large, “mature” organization filled with experienced people, can weather the turnover. What will be most important, he said, is finding the right people to fill any vacant or new positions. “Those are the decisions we’ll live with for a long time,” he said.

Selling your home? First, meet with Michael Repka.

Meet with Michael today for tax and legal advice before listing your home.

Unlike most real estate agents, Michael holds two law degrees and has years of experience as a real estate and tax attorney, giving his clients a unique advantage as most other brokerages do not provide an in-house attorney to help clients. In addition, the expertise and marketing available through the team at DeLeon Realty are the very best in the business. Meet with Michael to discuss any preliminary tax and legal questions about selling your home and let him tell you more about what makes DeLeon Realty’s innovative approach to real estate so successful. There is no cost or obligation for this consultation. However, Homeowners that have a current listing contract with another agent are excluded.
