Keeping a senior in their home is our priority, and so created an Aging in Place Resource Team. At some point, the senior may need more individualized care, a better support system, or just a smaller space. Senior transitions to a smaller home, assisted living facility, or long-term care can be overwhelming for everyone involved. Every day, older clients struggle to move away from the coziness of the home they love. Adult children, baby boomers, struggle to help while coping with the demands of their professional lives, their interests and other responsibilities. Part of the sandwich generation, they are also caring for their own children as well as their parents. Taking the time to divest yourself of a home is not only time consuming, it can be emotionally exhausting.
Safe living is a priority as both proper organization of household goods and de-cluttering of items in the home are essential to one’s living in their home safely, independently and comfortably.
