  I Want To Stay At Home!

 

We hear that phrase from almost every Senior we visit.  But there are times when a home has reached an unsafe state.  It may be the result of hoarding habits that have made the dwelling a safety and health hazard or it may be due to the design of the dwelling not being flexible enough to safely enable the use of assistive devices like wheelchairs.

 

The Caregiver Foundation of American can help transform a seemingly impossible situation into one that can be effectively managed.  For more information contact the Foundation at 808-625-3782 or by email.

 

 A Personal Story

 

My Dad keeps everything!  His house had gotten so full of stuff that he was sleeping on a quilt in the hallway -  all the bedrooms were full to the ceiling.  He begged me not to send him away and I promised I would figure something out.  My Sister and I starting cleaning up the place and hauled 20 loads to the dump - they hardly made a dent and Dad fought us over every piece we pried out.  We gave up and were in the process of deciding to sell the house and put Dad in a facility when a friend mention TCFOA and their Senior Organizing services.  The cost seemed high at first!  But compared to the cost of a facility it was actually cheap!  TCFOA brought in cleaning specialists who knew what to keep and what to get rid of.  They coordinated with a professional safety inspector and lined up an electrician who brought things back into safe working order.  A little bit of re-design inside and now Dad can manage most things himself.  We have a monthly service now to make sure things don't pile up again.
