Aging in Place

Give Your Loved Ones the Care They Deserve

Aging is a privilege. To age is to collect memories, endure heartbreaks, pass along traditions and bear their resemblance along the way. It's a beautiful testament to a long, full life when done the right way. Sadly, too many families and seniors face the challenges of aging with improper care. 

The harsh reality is that too many seniors end up displaced from their homes, their possessions, and sometimes their families far too soon for the sake of their health and well-being. Full-time care is too much for families with their own households to care for, but moving loved ones into assisted living or nursing homes is a stark change from the familiarity of home.

4 Seasons Home Care makes both possible. Families can go about their lives with peace of mind while their loved ones receive quality care from the comforts of home. It's called aging in place.

"In-home care allows individuals to maintain their independence and continue living in a setting that holds personal significance and memories," says co-owner Luke Simonetti. "This environment promotes not only physical comfort but also emotional and psychological well-being."

Founded by Lou Ann Thombley, a dedicated professional with over 36 years of experience as a registered nurse, 4 Seasons is now led by co-owners Luke Simonetti and Harrison Funk. After witnessing the negatives of non-personalized care firsthand, they made it a mission to provide tailored care and a team of dedicated professionals. 

The Benefits

There's a strong correlation between aging in place and longer, happier lives. Seniors keep their homes, routines and even memories longer, creating a stronger sense of self and satisfaction with life. 

Customized Care

There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to quality care. Crowded care facilities make it impossible for caregivers to meet their patient's every need, but that's not the case with at-home care. With one-on-one care, your loved one receives uninterrupted attention and companionship, making it easy to catch problems early on and adjust care plans as needed. 

At 4 Seasons, care plans are developed after a comprehensive assessment, which gives the team an in-depth look into the lifestyle and personal preferences of each client. They can include anything from medical care to day-to-day tasks to companionship.

A Sense of Independence

No one of any age wants to be stripped of their independence. 4 Seasons is careful to never overstep by creating plans that encourage independence wherever possible. It's one more way that in-home care allows aging seniors to hold on to their lives as they know them. Completing some or all of their daily routine by themselves boosts confidence and empowers aging family members to keep going. 

Meaningful Connections

4 Seasons' caregivers more closely resemble a friend than a nurse or assistant. They recognize and empathize with the struggles of aging. 

The pairing process is designed to account for personal compatibility and create a lasting connection between your loved one and their caregiver. It fosters companionship and makes it easier for seniors to confide in their caregivers and families to trust them with their loved ones. 

The ability to age in place is one of the greatest gifts you can give an aging loved one. When the time comes, choose an in-home care service like 4 Seasons Home Care and gift them personalized care, independence and lasting connections.
