Ongoing Decline in Seniors
Maintaining health becomes more challenging and precarious as we age. The simplest daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing and meal preparation gradually and sometimes suddenly become difficult if not impossible to perform. Muscle strength lessens, vision changes, hearing diminishes and balance becomes compromised. Activities that once gave joy can become difficult to participate in. These physical changes, along with many others including mental and emotional, directly affect our quality of life. Since most of these changes occur gradually, it is assumed that nothing can be done to stop the progression or reverse the decline. This is often untrue. We organize everything from senior home services to keep an aging family member independent, to arranging transportation to appointments. We can help you find the right resources to make daily life easier.
Crisis Intervention and Crisis Prevention
Without warning a health crisis can occur. Suddenly an aging friend or family member is thrust into a maze of physicians, hospitals, tests, treatments and new medications. Understanding what is happening, why, and what choices are available can be daunting during a medical crisis. There are numerous decisions to make when one is very ill and hospitalized. Insurance companies may insist that a patient be discharged before they have totally recovered. Planning for the return to home can be frightening and overwhelming. Setting up follow-up appointments, getting medications, and arranging for care is an exhausting, time-consuming experience.
We offer support during a crisis and can help you create a plan for crisis prevention.
Dependent vs. Independent Living
Seniors may experience loss of independence as they age. Confusion, forgetfulness, inability to complete self-care as well as to manage a household leaves the elderly feeling fearful and helpless at the thought of entering a nursing home. Often family members feel overwhelmed, stressed and guilty. Understanding what choices are available and which ones are most appropriate can be a challenging, yet essential task. Choices that preserve autonomy and maximize quality of life need to be made. We are experts in locating adaptive devices, evaluating senior home health care services and adapting a home to meet the needs of aging family members and those with disabilities.
We can offer you alternatives to help your friend or family member maintain independent living. Call us for a Free Consultation: 1-888-676-8899
