TESTIMONIAL

Teresa put me at ease instantly. Having dealt with other people and not feeling comfortable, I was amazed at how quickly she calmed me down and explained that I was not alone. Thank you! Rose G.
 
Teresa saved me so much time, when I had so little time to work with. I told her I was looking for a residential care facility in Orange, and gave her my budget. Within a few hours she had a list of several homes in Orange, within my budget, and only those that currently had a room available. If it hadn't been for her, I'd STILL be looking for a place. I am so grateful!

How are we different?

   

What makes us different from our competitors is that we do not give you a list of facilities to cold call. We research, interview, tour, negotiate cost, and select the best available options for your particular needs.

Isn't it nice that this is the beginning of December? All the Christmas fun lies ahead! Here are some reflective, helpful and serving articles that hopefully will be a great start to the season. While most of us are excited for all the sparkle, fun, and precious memories to be made, remember that many seniors are alone this time of year. Let's take some time to look around and reach out to someone in need honoring the true reason for the season. May you all be blessed this Christmas, as you in turn are a blessing to others!

Warm Regards,
    
A Caregiver Christmas
What Christmas Means For Caregivers

For all the years before my grandmother began her decline with what eventually was diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease, she was the boss of Christmas. She managed and updated a massive list of contacts all year and knew exactly when it was appropriate to mail holiday cards and packages. Every Christmas Eve, she hosted a large family feast that always included friends and acquaintances who would have been left on their own. Everyone would marvel over how perfectly decorated the house was. She shopped for gifts year-round like a pro and tucked away every package into a secret corner in her box closet. Oh yes, she was such a prolific gift giver that she had an entire closet in her home dedicated to gift boxes.

Safe Decorating
How to Safely Make a Senior's House Merry and Bright

Helping an elderly loved one decorate their house, apartment, nursing home room, etc., for the holidays can help both of you get into the holiday spirit. But, certain considerations should be taken into account to make sure their decorations don't become dangerous.
Safe Hosting
Hosting a Safe Holiday Visit for Elderly Guests
It's very human to feel that holidays should be happy times, with generations of
traditions coming to the forefront. After all, we say we celebrate holidays. Doesn't that mean happiness? The reality, however, is that many people can feel isolated and lonely during this sometimes forced "season of good will." Elders can have an especially hard time with the holiday season. While aging and maturity can bring the wisdom of years for many people, there are inevitable losses that come to even the healthiest individuals. Many of these losses are emotional and social in nature. Spouses become ill or die. Other aging relatives and friends become seriously ill, or die. Neighborhoods change, often leaving even those well enough to remain in their own homes feeling friendless and isolated. The holidays can bring this isolation and a feeling of loneliness to a head.
