Aging in Place

ARE YOU WORRIED?

​Are you worried about the safety of your parents or grandparents living alone? Are you struggling to balance a career with raising a family or enjoying the freedom of being “empty nesters” while becoming increasingly more responsible for your aging parents?

The oldest “Baby Boomers” are now in their seventies and many of them are declining physically and cognitively but they are determined to live independently. Meanwhile, their friends and family members worry constantly about their loved one’s safety.

Some of these older Baby Boomers are capable of aging in place safely but many of them have had repeated falls and are an accident waiting to happen.
​
Did you know:

• Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in the ER for a fall.
• 1 in 4 Americans 65 and older falls each year. This is the leading cause of fatal injury in older Americans.
• Fear of falling can lead to social isolation. This isolation can contribute to depression which can undermine their physical and emotional health.

If you know a Senior who is not safe living alone or someone who is worried about their parents living alone, call me.

I can declutter the Senior’s home and eliminate safety hazards to keep them safe and give their family peace of mind. May is Older Americans Month. Let’s work together to keep them safe.

I can help you catch up
so you can keep up.

How I Helped Betty Stay Safe 

Problem: Andrew was worried about his mother because she is 86, very frail, and lived alone. He called me and told me his mother, Betty, was scheduled to be discharged from Rehab in three days. He was worried that once she was home, she would fall again and end up right back in Rehab. Or worse.

Solution: Andrew and I worked for six hours just to clear pathways so she could maneuver safely with her walker. The next day we decluttered her kitchen so she could fix simple meals and have a place to eat and process her mail.

Result: After Betty was discharged, Andrew was still worried about his mother’s safety because she is too stubborn to use her walker. It is just a matter of time until she has another serious fall and will no longer be able to live alone. When that time comes, Andrew has my card so I can help him prepare his mother’s home for sale.​

Testimonial: “I could never have done this by myself! Thank you, Bobbie!”
