New father? Wearing those nice clothes today for Thanksgiving?

Use these risk management techniques to keep your clothes looking fresh.

· Risk Avoidance is recognizing that feeding time is close and positioning yourself across the room. Comment on how great the stuffing smells. Step into the kitchen to check on the rolls. Remove yourself from the hazard. 

· Risk Transfer is just redirecting the duty. Tell your relatives upon arrival how much joy it brings to you and your wife when others feed the baby. Once the feeding time comes around, ask who wants the honor of feeding the baby. They’ll remember how much joy it brings to you and gladly accept the duty.

· Risk mitigation, which I failed at this morning and is why I wrote this, is having a second set of clothes you change into during the feeding. You only need this if avoidance and transfer didn’t work for you.

· Risk acceptance is just sitting there feeding the baby in nice clothes, no burp cloth, no backup clothes, just total retention of the exposure. This should be the option of last resort.

Insurance Placement and Cost Optimization

Most people don't understand how impressive it is for a company to have more than one life plan community to make this list. Having one location earn this recognition is difficult enough; multiple location speaks to the leadership not only at the facility level but corporate level. 

A lot of respect to Erickson Senior Living , Vi , Acts Retirement-Life Communities, Ohio Living, Front Porch Communities & Services, and The Kendal Corporation for accomplishing this.
