The Art of Aging In Place.

A
ging in place is the ability to live safely and independently in
your home or community as you age. It involves planning ahead,
identifying potential problems, and getting help when needed.
What is the art of aging in place? Initially, it is honoring the decision
to remain in one’s home and community, in loved and familiar
surroundings. This is the first step to nurturing our desire to remain
in our homes and exploring the support tools that we may need.
What are support tools? Focus on Caring calls it a tool box and we
stock it with all the things we need, now and potentially in the future.
I grew up on a farm and “town” wasn’t necessarily convenient. Our tool
box, the freezer, the pantry, the refrigerator, was very well stocked. When
we needed something, it was readily at hand, even those things we
hadn’t planned for. We didn’t have to make do, compromise or settle as
we had a plan simply because of our tool box or pantry.
The Focus on Caring designed tool box includes everything you
may or may not need, as you age in place. This tool box is your
kit stocked with plans, solutions, support and peace of mind.
The best part is the collaboration in designing your own tool kit
with those things that you would love to have available. Meal
preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, accompaniment to
appointments and social events, whatever is going to best support
you and yes, exceptionally skilled home care. Maybe your desire
to travel has been limited? Maybe a lifestyle assistant is just the
enhancement needed to thrive in your home? Your personal tool
box is expandable, ready to incorporate any and all wants and
needs or solutions and endless possibilities.
An additional key is that Focus on Caring team members have
their very own tool box, stocked with numerous essential skills. We
excel at helping you creating the list of all that you may need and
then match our skills to those very things. Just like you, we have
planned for even those things that might pop up unexpectedly.
We are prepared to transform from lifestyle assistance to home
care support in a moment’s notice, if that is what is required. We
encourage you to think beyond conventional home care.
Life has twists and turns and having a plan, a tool box, is in itself a
measure of support. Focus on Caring has determined to elevate aging
in place to a whole other level and we support seniors at every stage
of need. This is what we have been doing for more than 30 years. There
is no ask too small or too big. We elevate, nurture, support and provide
immeasurable peace of mind at the level that seniors deserve.
Is your tool box well stocked? Your family? We would love to
support you in creating your best plan to age in place.
