Why is Home Care Assistance the leading choice of older adults in the Stanford community?

● Home Care Assistance is a preferred provider for Stanford Hospital’s Aging Adult Services and the Avenidas Village Program.

March/April). When my children were old enough, it even became a family affair. We would ride our bikes to the game, sit in the cheap seats on the sunny side, and keep the kids happy with snacks until they were old enough to root for the home team. We continued the tradition of season tickets (but better seats on the shady side) when there were just the two of us. Then a couple of years ago, football schedules changed at the last minute and instead of playing in the afternoon, the game was played at night. There were more TBDs on the schedule than actual times. We stopped getting season tickets but would take in an afternoon game when they were held.

Of course, Big Game was sacred and we always ordered tickets way in advance with a group of friends. Last November, our group met for a late lunch because Big Game was not being held at its regular time of 12: 30 p.m. but at 5: 30 p.m. It was a cold and rainy night. And most members of our group decided not to attend.

● Home Care Assistance has Stanford Alumni on staff and references from families on campus.

So, maybe it should not have come as a surprise when the Stanford-Cal schedule for 2012 revealed that Big Game was moved to October, smack in the middle of the season. The Stanford-Cal rivalry is a tradition equal to Army vs. Navy,

Harvard vs. Yale. Stanford and Cal both objected
but lost out to a majority of the newly constituted
Pac- 12. Why? Television. Dollars. College football
has become a pawn of television and the so-
called attention, prestige and dollars it brings.
The new schedule means UCLA does not play
Oregon in 2012 and Washington State and Ore-
gon State do not face USC. Why did they ever
expand the Pac- 10 to the Pac- 12 and bring in Utah
and Nevada and split the conference into north
and south? Again, the answer has to be money.
Alas, the sport has become a big business and
tradition and fans are the losers.
