Fingerote, a friend and colleague, completed the book, which was released by McFarland & Company in April. “Jazz on my Mind” provides readers with a curated vision of America’s music genre and includes much of Wong’s “encyclopedic knowledge” of jazz history, which was often called upon by CNN, Nick Taylor with his latest novel, “Double Switch,” the second in a series about a PBS and the professional baseball player who moonlights as a detective.

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.
