Are you concerned about your driving? Has anyone else told you they are concerned?

It's hard to admit when your driving skills may need some fine-tuning or a check-up! Plus, you may not want to seek help because what if your driving skills aren't up to par and you are afraid of being reported and losing your license?

Contact Lou Gervino for a CONFIDENTIAL driving assessment. Trust him to give you an honest and professional evaluation of your skills. If he feels some areas need to be worked on, he will suggest more driving lessons so that you can improve or correct your weak areas. Lou is not legally bound to report your driving assessment results to anyone.

If you are not ready to hang up the keys yet, and you want to stay safe (and keep others safe, too), call Lou. He says if your skills don't improve with lessons, and the police or someone else reports you to Driver and Vehicle Licensing, you may end up having your driver's license suspended. He says it's better to be proactive and get an assessment and some driving lessons. This will help you be a more careful driver and may keep you on the road longer.

Get a confidential professional assessment and help now, before you may be involuntarily drawn into the motor vehicle branch system. An assessment and a few lessons now may prevent that.

Blossoms is a new company and has been operating since 2015.

Our company has established a solid clientele and keeps on growing from referrals from the community.

Our rates are very affordable.

Helping families with challenges and providing them with safe affordable care is our goal.

I have had the pleasure of working with seniors for the past 35 years.

Having a nursing background has helped me tremendously understanding and dealing with some of the challenges that seniors face with their day-to-day living.

During those years I have also spent 25 yrs working with children and young adults with disabilities.

I am involved with my clients on a regular basis with visits or phone calls checking up on our care and services.

Contact: George Naugle

Website: http://www.coreyscomputing.com/

Corey's Computing provides one-on-one computer training in the client's home. They also offer semi-private lessons if a client would like to have a friend present which makes the service more affordable for some. They ask the clients to write down what it is that they are looking to learn, and when they are on-site they will go through the list one by one. Corey's shows the user how to do whatever it is that they want to learn, then have them perform the action until they remember how to do it. They find this method works best for most people, because they actually remember what they did.

Corey's Computing also has an Internet Security & Maintenance program that they are offering for novice computer users. The idea behind the service is they make the computer so safe online it is almost impossible for people to get scammed, get viruses or be a victim of identity theft. They wanted to reduce the cost of computer repairs for their clients, so people on the program receive free* computer repairs if the unit is brought into them and Bit Defender the #1 anti-virus program in the world at the moment. They also offer 25% discount on other services which include On-site computer & Training as well as Remote connect computer repairs.

See below for info on their fantastic Internet Security & Maintenance Program!

*Free – Parts and moving or retrieving of personal data extra.

If you have any questions, please ask, they are there to help.
