Serving Seniors in our Community

Sydney from Copley Place, Akron LIVING WELL Magazine

Many admissions and marketing professionals will say the favorite part of their job is the chance to talk with a variety of people every day. Many families walk into our communities not knowing what to expect. Some have visited websites, or have been referred by friends or a professional referral source. We are given the opportunity to learn about these folks: their lives, what they did in the past, what they hope their future will hold and exactly what is needed and how we can be of service.

After this initial conversation, our goal is to serve as a trusted resource. There are many options to be considered. Sometimes, living in the community they have visited is the best option. Other times, there is a need for a referral for home healthcare services that will allow them to stay at home a bit longer. If staying at home safely is a concern, we can connect the family with services, pharmacies and life-alert systems to create a safe home setting. Still, others may need an assisted living community, or need a rehabilitation center to provide short-term care after discharge from the hospital. Veterans and surviving spouses may have need for a different kind of support to fully understand and realize their pension benefits. And many seniors want to move into a retirement community immediately, but have a home to sell and need assistance. We hope to connect families with local experts in each field to help them make informed choices.

One of my favorite quotes is:  “Nobody can do everything. But everyone can do something.” This is so true! It is about making connections…connecting local service providers with the families we serve. This process is very rewarding and takes “competition” off the table. Our work in the senior service industry is about CARING for our local seniors. The best part of working with families and seniors – connecting each person to the right resource at the right time.
