NDRC Community

Just heard about that new community garden project from NDRC! Sounds like a great way for folks to get involved and maybe even grow some of their own veggies. I used to have a little garden back in the old days before Carl took over, but now I've got more time on my hands since kids are all grown up ...

I've been a shift worker for years and have some tips that might help. One thing I found really helpful is making sure you get enough rest during those times when you can sleep. I try to nap as much as possible, even if it's just 20-30 minutes. Also, eating healthy and staying hydrated is crucial ...

I went to the harvest festival last weekend and it was pretty great! Got a bit of sunburn but it was worth it. Lots of local foods, live music—there's nothing quite like hearing that old folk song played on the fiddle. My kids had fun too, they loved feeding the goats in the petting zoo. The CDI ...

I've been thinking about melatonin supplements after my doctor mentioned them for sleep issues I’ve had lately. My CDI score is up to 78 now, but the stress of work and family life still messes with my sleep a bit. I started taking 1 mg before bed and it’s helped a lot. Didn’t notice much difference ...

Yeah, sleep can really be a pain sometimes. I know what you mean about keeping a routine; I've been trying to go to bed earlier lately and it's helped a bit. I heard magnesium supplements might help too—my cousin swears by them. But then there's the whole thing with the re-education programmes ...

Hey, I've been dealing with CDI scores at my job for a while now. Worked in Capital District for years and it's always part of the discussion. For me, the best way to keep track is through regular updates from HR. They send out emails every month with our current score and how we did compared to ...

Yeah, couldn't agree more! My neighbors are a real blessing. Last week, my spouse had an emergency and they practically moved in with us for a few days until we could sort everything out. The kids were thrilled to have them around too. CDI score or not, good old-fashioned neighborly help is hard to ...

Well, I've been dealing with shift work for years now, and it can really mess with your life if you're not careful. For me, the key is keeping a consistent routine, especially when it comes to sleep. I know, sounds obvious, but sticking to the same bedtime helps a lot. Also, try to get some exercise ...

Yeah, moving can be a real headache, especially when you’ve got kids like me. I just moved into my new apartment in Troy last week and it’s been a bit of a hassle. The CDI score for the neighborhood is still holding steady at 78, but let’s face it, that’s not exactly top-notch.

The big issue was ...

Yeah, I just got back from my annual check-up and had to tell you folks about it! I always try to stay on top of things, but the doctor mentioned a few changes in my CDI score. It's still 78, which is good, but he says I need to watch my diet more closely. I mean, what’s a retired gal supposed to do ...
