Independence Day inspires us to reflect on freedom and autonomy, especially within the Parkinson's community. How do we support those living with PD in maintaining their independence and dignity? 🎆 Freedom to Choose: Providing choices in daily activities and treatments empowers individuals, giving them control over their lives. 🇺🇸 Community Support: Building a supportive community can help mitigate the feelings of isolation that often accompany Parkinson's. 🎇 Celebrating Achievements: Recognizing and celebrating small victories can boost morale and encourage continued effort and resilience. Let's use this day to advocate for and support the autonomy of our loved ones with Parkinson’s. Share your stories of independence and empowerment in the comments! #IndependenceDay #EmpowerPD #LightForPD #parkinsonsdisease #parkinsons #parkinsonsawareness #parkinsondisease #parkinsonsdiseaseawareness #parkinsonawareness #caregiver #goodnews

Tomorrow, my latest article will be published! I'll be investigating a topic that's close to my heart: the stark differences between high-pressure sales senior living communities and those that truly prioritize resident well-being and happiness. Having seen both sides of the coin, I can't wait to share my thoughts and preferences with you. It's time we start talking about what really matters when it comes to choosing the right community for ourselves or our loved ones.

A recent third-party survey revealed that 50% of older adults, who do not yet require in-home care, need assistance just a few times a week. This is consistent with what we see at Naborforce. Our average client uses us just a couple of times per week for an hour or two. That small amount of assistance and social engagement is all it takes to help a senior stay connected and in the home they love while providing a small break and peace of mind for their families. We are bridging the gap between those needing minimal help -- where family can easily step in -- and those who require regular, daily assistance, which is best served by traditional home care. #independentaging #agetech #aginginplace #familycaregiving
