 We
offer solid, practical information, advice and one-to-one
consulting to older adults and the families of aging loved
ones, such as:
- An
older person or couple whose intent is to live as independently
as they can for as long as possible. They want the right
plans and resources in place to make their aim a reality.
Their current situation may or may not present an immediate
need for day-to-day services or personal care.
- One
or more adult children who are concerned about older parents.
The initial contact will often be an adult child. To the
extent that parents are still capable, their participation
will be central to plans or actions undertaken on their
behalf.
The
Need
Ninety
percent of Americans would prefer to live independently in
their own homes as they age. For some, it's a home they've
lived in for many years; for others, it means moving to a
smaller residence or to organized senior housing. Regardless
of location, it's important to plan ahead for the needs of
day-to-day living and aging -- to make the home safe and secure;
to consider needs for transportation, services and care; and
to ensure that the older person does not become isolated and
vulnerable.
Important
life decisions are often made too late, and frequently in
response to an accident or sudden event. Decisions are complicated
by uncertainty about what to do and when. Delay may eliminate
some options and increase the cost of others. When the need
for a decision becomes urgent, the emotional burden may seem
overwhelming. Within a family, obstacles may be posed by geographic
separation, absence of communication, or strained relationships.
