How does Aging at Home with a Plan work?
As we age, things change! Preparing for the changes is the key to aging at home. Most seniors and individuals with disabilities are extremely passionate about staying in their homes as long as possible. But wanting to do so requires a plan, and planning is often hard for seniors because they do not know how their needs might change. Not everyone ages in the same manner, and what may be a safe living situation for one person may require additional supports for another.
Over many years, we have worked with numerous clients to help them understand and prepare for aging. We call this Aging at Home with a Plan. Our program helps clients work through an inventory of essential factors that determine a person’s ability to age in place, including:
• Personal financial status
• Health and wellness considerations
• Transportation needs
• Socialization
• Availability of family or other supports
• Home and housing safety and security
As part of the SOLUTIONS for Dignity® Aging at Home with a Plan Program, we review how someone can function in their home and look for ways to enhance functioning to keep individuals living safely and contently at home. Our expert staff evaluates and supports the following key areas, tapping our years of experience in assisting our clients in their wishes to age at home.
• Activities of daily living – Provide insight into best practices that have helped clients with similar conditions manage their daily activities and care for themselves.
• Medical and medication support – Assess your needs, access the right medical provider, and monitor your medication plan.
• Cognitive and functional assessments – Conduct ongoing routine visits and involvement in medical appointments to serve as an advocate to address medical and care-related issues and insurance concerns.
• Partner with Legal and Financial professionals – Support your needs in these important areas to continue current relationships or recommend adjustment as needed.
• Home Safety Recommendations – Assess your physical home and recommend safety modifications such as ramps or shower seats as needed to provide a comprehensive solution ensuring your wellbeing, dignity, and ongoing safety at home.
