One of the best....if not the only....senior publication in the Sacramento area has now suspended publication. What an absolute shame, in my opinion because it leaves seniors with one less "resource" at their disposal. Besides the timely articles, it provided seniors with lists of resources to help enhance their lives. I understand The Golden Pages, published by Senior Spectrum, will definitely be coming out shortly.....the 2014 version even though it's now almost halfway into 2014.....but at least it too hasn't been suspended. This too, is a great resource for seniors looking for various services.
One of my specialities is assisting seniors as they "transition" from their homes into senior apartments, assisted living facilities, closer to their families, or perhaps their relatives call me after they've passed away. I'm always on the lookout for articles or resources that may assist these clients.
There are many wonderful senior "facilities" right here in and around our Sacramento area.....and many seniors who often say "never, not me, I'm never leaving my home", find they absolutely love the friendships and social interaction they find at many of these senior residences. They can participate if they want or they can stay close to their own apartments. The opportunities are there and there are many many activities offered. For loved ones of these "seniors", they find a renewed sense of security knowing someone is keeping their eye out on their mom or dad..... I can't tell you the number of times clients of mine have laughed and said they had called their parent in the middle of the afternoon only to be told "gotta run.....it's bingo time".....or "can't talk now, we're playing wi bowling"......they're having a wonderful time.
If you have questions or need help when your parent gets ready to make this move, please feel free to call me. I'd love to help you or answer any questions you may have....whether you're ready to make this change now, or a year or two down the line. I've been listing and selling here for over 35 years and have no plans to retire.....just call me when you're ready.
