Meal prep (at least for the kids). With allthe calls and issues that arise I seem toget the busiest at lunch time. We mealprep lunch for the kids the eveningbefore or in the morning.

Working from Home with Maxim
Plan fun projects that will keep your kids quietand out of your hair while you are on calls thatmay require you to actively participate.
On calls that require your attention, but notactive participation, take a walk or hop on thetreadmill if you have one.
Move your work-space around! If it is niceoutside change your scenery and work outside!
Flexibility! I make sure I am available for all thecalls I have scheduled and any other tasks thatneed attention between the hours of 8-5PM. Adjust your schedule to be more available toyour family throughout the day. As a result, Imake up those working hours in the eveningonce my husband gets home. At that time I runreports, prep for calls and respond to non-urgent emails.

I have a COVID19 Confession! I worked from home one dayand felt it put my kids at risk of not living with us anymore andsince they are only 8 and 11 I decided to work from my office inthe Nashville branch. Besides the well-being of my children, Ifelt it was also a great way to feel connected to our TeamMembers that safely work 6 feet apart from each other! By theway, I was kidding about my kids. My wife put them outside 3weeks ago when they didn’t understand how to carry a 1! DarnCommon Core!" - Jimmy Nichols, Area Vice President, South Region
Planks - Lay face down with forearms on the floor. Extendyour legs and remain on your toes. Keep your backstraight and core tight while holding this position for time. Modification: If you're a beginner, start with hips higher, andwork your way up to a parallel plank position. Push-ups – Start in a high plank position (toes & hands onthe floor with hands shoulder width apart). While keepingyour body straight and core engaged, bend your arms tolower your chest to the ground. Push back up to return tostarting position and repeat. Modification: If you're a beginner, start with an inclined push-up against the wall, and work your way up to a parallel push-up position.

Healthy Habits while Under Quarantine
IT's ok to SNACK!
HEALTHY TRAIL MIX
1. Nuts – Feel free to use any kind of nut here! Ideally,purchase raw nuts that haven’t been coated androasted in hydrogenated or soybean oils and salt. 2. Seeds – Often overlooked for the health benefits ofnuts, seeds actually pack a serious nutritional punchincluding protein, iron, magnesium and an array ofvitamins and minerals. Look for raw, unsalted seeds. 3. Dried Fruit – Because of the high sugar content indried fruit, they’re a great snack to help boost yourlow blood sugar after a high dose of physical activity.Do your best to find sun dried fruit that isn’t coated insugar and is ideally unsulfured. It’s more expensive,but it’s worth it. 4. Fun Stuff!– Just because it’s healthy doesn’t meanyou can’t throw in a little fun! It's about balance, sofeel free to add in a handful of your favorite healthydecadent treat. Dark chocolate and popcorn arefavorites but feel free to add pretzels, peanut butterchips or other sweet treats. Tips from "The Healthy Maven"
Working from home may often cause us to "oversnack". To help avoid gaining quarantine Pounds,we can start by making healthier snack decisions.Instead of chips or cookies, let's try a healthy trail
mix. This fun snack can also be prepared andenjoyed by the entire family!
"I could never thank you enough for howincredibly kind and
selfless you guys have been over these past fewweeks. It means so much to me
to know and love such amazing people."

Shout out to Jennifer Turner RN and Masks Made With Love
(Metrowest MA) for supplying the Maxim Healthcare
Taunton, MA office nurses with masks during this COVID-19
pandemic.
Jen, our clinical manager, has been coordinating with Masks
Made With Love over the past week or so to have masks
donated to our office so we can provide our home
healthcare nurses with masks that are in need of them.
In the photo is Laura, one of our clinical supervisors, who is
helping our patients and nurses around the clock out in the
field. We are extremely appreciative of the donation of 100
masks and encourage any of the Taunton office nurses who
are actively working with patients to reach out if they are in
need of a mask.
Stay safe out there!
