How We Got Here:    In 1969, our founder, Harland Stonecipher, had an epiphany. He found himself financially unprepared for the legal costs he incurred from an accident, even though it wasn’t his fault. From that day forward, he was determined to make sure everyone had affordable access to legal care—no matter how traumatic or trivial the situation. Thus, LegalShield was born.

Access for all:   Legal issues can be costly. Decades ago, our own founder discovered that the hard way. So we’re leveling the playing field. With affordable access to trusted legal counsel, you can focus more on the issue at hand, and less on whether you can afford it.

Worry Less, Live More:   We believe that by educating, protecting, and serving our members, we can improve their lives dramatically. With a law firm by your side, you can walk through life knowing you are protected every step of the way.

Legal Coverage without the Complexity:   In short, life can be unpredictable, and the law can be complicated. We’ve created a model for legal coverage in which you know exactly what you’re getting and precisely how much you’re paying for it. Once you sign up, you can sit back, relax, and know you’re covered by an entire law firm.

Our Mission For more than 40 years, our goal has been to take a straightforward, practical approach to legal coverage. We carried those same values through to the LegalShield process itself, laid out below in three easy steps:

Step 1: Become a Member:   Pick a plan for your family or your small business. You'll be connected with a local team of lawyers with extensive knowledge of regional laws and regulations. After you’re signed up, download the app to communicate with your firm in just a few clicks.

Step 2: Go About Your Day:   No one plans on legal trouble. But when life throws you a curveball, we can make sense of the legal complexities and help you come out on top. From estate planning and traffic violations to family law and civil litigation—no matter what trouble you run into, give your team a call. Your representative will be in touch within hours.

Step 3: Huddle With Your Lawyer:  Now it’s time to strategize. Your lawyer will review your case and discuss your options with you. It could be as simple as reviewing a document, writing a demand letter, or making a phone call on your behalf. Should the issue lead to some time in court—whether as a defendant or a plaintiff—you get at least 25% off your lawyer’s hourly rates, even if the issue started before you were a member. At the end of it all, you can breathe easy. The biggest benefit of LegalShield is knowing you have a legal team in your side. Worry less. Live more. We’ve got you covered.

LegalShield is a pioneer in providing legal plans for over 45 years. Our mission for over 45 years has been a straightforward, practical approach. In a perfect world, you’d never need a lawyer, but in an unpredictable world it helps to have a team of lawyers on your side. LegalShield has made smart legal coverage simple - in the form of accessible, affordable, full-service coverage Identity theft impacts millions of people each year.  IDShield is also protecting our members.  Criminals are using a variety of scams & hacks to collect & steal your personal information. Dark web, social and identity and credit monitoring are all part of our service. Should your identity be stolen, we offer full restoration services as part of your membership.

Top 6 Healthy Hobbies Aging Adults Should Try

Engaging in hobbies can be just as important for your senior loved one’s health as the foods he or she eats. Participating in healthy activities could enhance your loved one’s cognitive abilities and reduce the risk of depression. Here are a few healthy hobbies your loved one should consider. 

1. Gardening 

Getting out and enjoying the sunshine can provide a good source of vitamin D, which increases balance and flexibility. While working in the garden, your loved one will need to use his or her hands to operate the tools and plant the flowers, vegetables, fruits, and other items, which increases dexterity. Growing healthy items in the garden provides your loved one with good food choices that reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other health issues. 

Seniors who need help gardening or performing other activities should consider professional in-home care. Prescott senior care experts are available to provide high-quality care to seniors on an as-needed basis. From assistance with mobility and exercise to providing transportation to the doctor’s office and social events, there are a variety of ways professional caregivers can help your aging loved one continue to live independently.

2. Doing Yoga

If your loved one doesn’t like to exercise, encourage him or her to take up yoga as a hobby. Yoga is a fun form of exercise that relaxes the mind while providing healthy breathing techniques that can boost respiratory function. Taking up yoga could prevent your loved one from being bored and depressed, and the activities and movement involved might boost his or her mental and emotional health. 

3. Engaging in Creative Arts

Painting, taking theater, singing with a band, and writing novels or memoirs are some creative hobbies your loved one can try. Creative arts stimulate the brain and reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Many creative arts programs and activities may be available to your loved one at a discounted rate, or even for free.

Engaging in creative activities with family members and friends is just one of the many ways seniors can receive social stimulation. For families living in Prescott, Arizona, respite care can be a wonderful solution when their aging loved ones need companionship and socialization a few hours a week or just need minor assistance with daily household tasks. At Home Care Assistance, we thrive on helping seniors maintain their independence while living in the comfort of home.

4. Scrapbooking 

Scrapbooking is a fun hobby that can keep your loved one’s brain active and engaged. The mental stimulation from scrapbooking could reduce the risk of depression and boredom. Encourage your loved one to sign up for a local scrapbooking class to learn more about this hobby. Your loved one will discover new trends and ideas to use when putting together a scrapbook for him or herself. Creating a scrapbook can also stir memories. 

5. Joining Senior Sports Leagues 

Check with local leagues to see if they have sports teams your loved one would be interested in joining, such as bowling, swimming, and golf. Many organizations have leagues that take place year-round, while other groups only offer spring and summer leagues. Joining a senior sports league can provide your loved one with regular exercise and social interaction, which could boost his or her physical and mental health. 

6. Taking Cooking Classes 

Seniors who love to bake or learn new recipes should consider taking up cooking classes. Cooking is a fun way to learn new recipes while staying socially engaged. When cooking, your loved one can enhance his or her thinking skills, hand-eye coordination, and mood.

Older adults may need help making healthy lifestyle choices. If your loved one needs help maintaining healthy habits and accomplishing daily tasks, a Prescott caregiver from Home Care Assistance can help. Our caregivers are expertly trained to provide mental and social stimulation, assist with exercise, prepare nutritious meals, and much more.
