In-Home Help for Seniors
Everyone needs a little help around the house now and then. This is especially true for seniors who are in pursuit of the perfect independent retirement lifestyle. No community realizes this more—or supports the idea more ardently—than The Glenview at Pelican Bay, Florida’s only nonprofit equity-owned LifeCare community.
In one of our recent blogs, Cheryl Holderfield, Director of Nursing for GlenCare Home Care Agency (GlenCare), best explains the agency’s approach to in-home care and household support with this mission statement: We believe everyone has a right to age-in-place if they wish. It is our mission to support this desire by helping our in-home care clients feel informed, educated, and supported throughout the aging process.
Information. Education. Support. This is the purpose of this blog as we further maintain The Glenview’s unchallenged position as the area’s premier resource for senior living, in-home care services, and just plain finding help around the house. Unlike other retirement communities in Florida, GlenCare offers real solutions as you are looking for senior help or support.
The Naples area—including Collier and Lee counties—is ripe with companies and agencies that market to seniors for all kinds of services. Transportation. Home-delivered meals. Home health aides. Outpatient physical therapy. Skilled nursing care. Emergency response services. An Internet search for these general offerings and services in the Naples area can be quite overwhelming. Here we’d like to share some suggestions for finding in-home care as a resident or local adult in the area.
First of all, what does GlenCare Offer? GlenCare is community-oriented, and by that we mean we serve The Glenview homeowners, of course, but our client base extends throughout Collier and Lee counties in the Naples area, as well. GlenCare has more than 50 clients who live at The Glenview and more than 50 more who enjoy their supportive care services directly from their homes in the surrounding Naples area. Services offered by GlenCare include:
Besides offering in-home care services for every need through GlenCare, Premier Place—The Glenview’s onsite healthcare center—is available to seniors in the Naples area. Granted, the care services at Premier Place are not “in-home,” but we mention it here because easy availability of specialized care offered at Premier Place is important to local seniors.
Whether it’s outpatient therapy services, post-acute rehabilitation, short recovery from an illness, or long-term skilled care, the multi-disciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and aides at Premier Place provide the personalized care, encouragement, and attention you need to get back to feeling your best as soon as possible. In a comfortable spa-like setting, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the mangrove forest and estuary during your stay, as well as access to special amenities that promote health and healing. Visit our Premier Place website to familiarize yourself with the care services offered for all residents of Naples.
Now that we’ve made you aware of popular in-home care services available to Naples’ residents through The Glenview, let’s get back to the subject of more specific in-home help for seniors.
Sometimes help around the house does not necessarily mean personal care. We consulted with Ana Marques, Health & Wellness Navigator at The Glenview, for her suggestions regarding typical assistance requests from residents of The Glenview and senior GlenCare clients. Ana has the following comments and suggestions when area seniors request help around the house with:
