How Is This Accomplished?
Guided Care begins with getting to know you and your lifestyle goals. Your personalized program is designed to address existing health issues as well as set a course for helping to prevent the many challenges that develop with aging.
Preventing chronic conditions from becoming acute conditions, Guided Care nurses are knowledgeable about heart disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease to name a few. Armed with the latest remote patient-monitoring devices, we can pick up early on potential health events twenty-four hours a day in real time. We communicate regularly with your family physician.
Each program is “guided” around the basic principles of nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and socialization.
To remain at home, access to basic support services may be necessary. Meal preparation, handyman, personal assistant, caregivers, handicap home adaptation …… to name a few. All customized to meet your needs.
Youthful Aging’s exclusive Support Team is immediately accessible and responsive to your needs as you successfully age-in-place.
