It takes a Village...

Today it occurred to me that we at Visiting Angels need help from the community to take care of our elderly and disabled.  I love the saying 'It takes a Village" but I have always applied that to raising my children.  However, that statement applies in our territory of southwest Colorado and New Mexico, to the large population of elders and people with disabilities needing care.  How do we find enough people to help us meet those needs?  Caregiving can be taxing on a family member taking care of a friend, parent or loved one and it was definitely not a path lots of people thought they would find themselves traveling.    However, with the "Silver Tsunami" growing year after year, this is an inevitable trajectory.  How can my company Visiting Angels help these families?  We need the community to step up and get involved.  I see it in my community on a regular basis.  People at the grocery store, post office, church or even my neighbor who I know has no family around and definitely needs that extra support.  I take calls daily from people who just cannot provide their loved one with the daily support they need, due to other obligations.  Now think of that on a larger scale, we as a company have over 200 active clients in southwest Colorado and New Mexico that use our services. Not to mention the large number of calls we receive daily for new starts of care.  Think of how many more families we could help if people in the community worked for us, to help us take care of those and many more. I want to raise awareness locally of this need by reaching out to all of you.  It is our obligation as a society to take care of others.  Remember, "It takes a Village".  -Briana S.
