Christmas is nearing which means we're all secretly thinking about our upcoming get aways and summer plans, instead of whatever it is we should be focusing on right now.

Miranda Smith is the founder of in-home care specialists Miranda Smith Homecare, and she's here with some advice on what to look out for to keep the elderly in our lives happy and healthy over the holidays.
