Caregiver no longer worried about leaving 92 year old client alone

In-home care is becoming more and more popular not only because older adults want to stay in their homes for as long as possible but also for cost savings purposes.  This is a great option for busy adult children who have jobs but want their parent safe during work hours.

Independent older adults may need assistance with meal preparation, household chores and companionship and there are times when the caregiver has to leave to run errands.  This 'errand' time can be stressful for the caregiver because client safety is their responsibility.   No one likes stress.

I provide in-home balance training services and this caregiver shares her personal testimonial about the improvements she's noticed in her 92yo client since he started brain-based training.   She explains that he can get up without help, is more productive around the house and helps with daily chores.

Think about that; a widower over 90 is contributing to his own care.  This demonstrates that he is confident in his mobility and no longer afraid to do daily tasks.  He's aging with dignity.

Perhaps the best benefit for this caregiver,  and the family,  is that she is no longer worried to leave him alone while she does necessary shopping errands.  Less stress spills over to better care and better care is the ultimate goal.

Let me help your parents.  Let me help your family.  Let me help your caregiver.
It's what I do.  Brain-based training for optimized movement and greater productivity.

Daughter of 87 year old woman with dementia demands in-home balance training

I recently moved to Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA and have been busy trying to find places to offer my fall prevention 101 workshops and balance and mobility training classes.  As I continue to network and seek a hosting agency, I am offering IN-HOME balance and fitness training.  I currently have three clients and everyone is making amazing progress.

Two weeks ago, I started working with an 87 year-old woman after I met her daughter at a workshop.  Her mother has dementia and doesn't like to leave the house.  She lives alone and has fallen several times.  Even though her daughter visits frequently, she is concerned about her mom and asked me to assess her. 

I have been working with her mom twice a week and she is doing amazing!  I did a pre- and post-assessment and she has improved her lower body flexibility by 3.5 inches!  She can now touch her toes!  This improvement can make it easier to put on her compression stockings, tie her shoes not to mention prevent a fall.

I attribute her amazing results to consistent practice.  She does the balance and stretching exercises everyday with her caregiver whom I taught how to do the balance, strengthening and stretching homework exercises and record them. 

87 years old and increased her lower body flexibility by nearly four inches in two weeks.  AMAZING.  It's never too late to improve your balance and prevent a fall.

Keep your parents or loved ones safe in their home.  Call me for in-home balance training.
