Recognizing National Healthcare Decisions Day with the Senior Care Agency That Cares for Your Family and Future in Greater Auburn, NH
In April, we recognize many important holidays and occasions, and in 2020, we’d like to bring another to your attention: April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day. While a healthcare holiday might sound hard to celebrate, the COVID-19 public health crisis brings this day new meaning. At Visiting Angels of Auburn, our priority is to help you and your family understand all the resources and programs that can help your loved one stay safe and healthy for longer.
Visiting Angels of Auburn Is Your Full-Service Senior Care Agency for All Your Home Care Needs
As a full spectrum senior care agency, Visiting Angels of Auburn helps families of all shapes and sizes address the needs of an aging loved one. We offer comprehensive in-home care services, including companionship care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and transitional care (for help returning home after a surgery, illness, or hospital stay). We also offer social care, which incorporates technology resources like your loved one’s smartphone or internet browser to help your loved one connect with the world, even during social distancing.
Preparing for the Future
On National Healthcare Decisions Day, it is a great opportunity to pause and consider the planning that your loved one and your family have completed for the future. As your family’s chosen senior care agency, we stand ready to help you access resources and experts on estate planning, creating an advance directive, and even organizing important paperwork before an emergency arises. It is more important than ever for all of us to ensure the health and safety of the seniors we love and setting up an advance directive is one way to make sure your loved one’s wishes are always honored.
Planning ahead for important healthcare decisions is probably something you are already familiar with—maybe you had a conversation with your loved one some time back about their wish to pursue in-home care through a senior care agency, or about the circumstances in which they’d rather pursue a different kind of care. Use National Healthcare Decisions Day as an excuse to restart those conversations. Does your loved one have any needed policies, paperwork, or legal documents they need? Is there a tax expert, legal expert, or healthcare expert whose advice they have been meaning to seek? Take care of those needs now, before they become a stumbling block later.
