Lifestyle is all

about choice and

independence.

Let’s savor the

daily experiences

of life and

cherishing

connections —

now and forever.

As we age, many of

us need some form of

assistance to

continue living

independently.

Without it, seniors can

be forced to give up

cherished

independence for

premature

institutionalization.

Forever Young offers a variety of services to ease the burdens faced by elderly seniors and adults with disabilities. With the addition of some services to help with the tasks of daily living, these individuals can continue living independently.

Whether the family lives at a distance or across town, care management can provide peace of mind and access to resources that caregivers may not even realize are available.

Our professionals begin with a FREE in-depth assessment

in the home of each individual. From this assessment, we

then create a personalized plan of care based on specific

needs. Many clients may be coping with chronic medical

conditions, social isolation or simply the need for light

housekeeping and/or meal preparation.

We will campaign on

your behalf to

ensure you receive

the assistance

needed to improve

your self-sufficiency

and quality of life.

Consistent with our

commitment to

preserve the

independence of older

adults for as long as

possible, Forever

Young offers several

services that support

older adults to ―age in

place.‖

Forever Young also

provides the community

with information about, and

access to, services

regardless of who provides

them. In this way, we are

Each of our programs are designed to help seniors live independently by relieving them of some of the burdens of daily duties and tasks which they can no longer manage on their own.

Some seniors have

disabilities that make

normal daily activities a

challenge, others are frail

and simply require

assistance with more

strenuous activities, while

some have cognitive

disabilities that make

managing their financial

affairs a challenge.

Half of those served are

between 80 and 100

years old; 70% have

some disability; and

almost all have a high

degree of frailty. More

than 90% of these

clients served are able

to continue to live

independently either at

home or in the

community near friends.

Through regular

visitation and interaction,

our care consultants and

volunteers are dedicated

to relieving the hardship

that can often come with

living independently at

an older age. and in

helping to enable elders

to continue thriving on

their own.

We’re committed to making a

real difference in the lives of

our clients. We work together

with the family to promote their

health, independence, and

social interactions in a safe,

supportive environment. If you

think you’d make a great

addition to our family, we’d

love to meet you.

In 1994, my grandmother seemed that she might live

forever, gardening in the front yard by day and crocheting in

her ―Lazyboy‖ while listening to the television by night. She

used to take walks around the block with her dog every day

too. Lucky for us, she lived in the home for over 30 years

and had loving and caring neighbors that watched out for

her.

Confusion began to set in and it became more and more

apparent that she couldn’t be without some type of

supervision. My brother and mother relocated to Visalia

and moved in with her for the last ten years of her life,

assisting with the little things like housekeeping, going to

the grocery store and companionship as needed.

Our family knew nothing about incontinence,

forgetfulness, and/or dehydration. Grandma

began to go in and out of the hospital and her life-

long doctor began to suggest rather firmly that

other arrangements would need to be

considered. Returning home alone would not be

an option. Her doctor was very eager to place her

in a nursing home, which we could not imagine.

We had no idea what to do… There were so many

options out there for older adults and everything

seemed so overwhelming and confusing to work

through, so we counted on the doctors to guide us.

She begged and pleaded to return home with her dog

―Pepe‖ and do her gardening. What should we

do? She became combative and the nursing home

sent her back to the hospital where they then refused

to take her back! Now what?

Finally, we were able to place her in another nursing

home where she passed away in April of 2001 at the

age of 93.

1. How much do we know about what our loved ones really want or need to retain their life spirit?

2. Have we considered what gave them the most joy while they were alive?

3. Were they social? Or did their joy come from raising their family?

4. Was there ever a discussion about how they wanted to approach the end of their life?
