Services and Support

Independence is a basic human need.  At boomeroptions, we work with seniors and their adult children to help older adults stay independent longer.

We can help in three distinct areas:

If this sounds familiar:

  • You’re an active, busy Baby Boomer or young senior with an older parent who is living independently.
  • As your parent ages, he or she seems to be turning to you more frequently for help and support in everyday activities such as shopping, doctor’s visits, housekeeping and preparing meals, even companionship.
  • You’re committed to helping your parent live independently as long as possible, but you are becoming overwhelmed by the ever-increasing demands on your time as well as the  responsibilities and challenges of dealing with an older individual.
  • Although you love your parent and you want to be there when needed, you’re beginning to feel frustrated, resentful and torn by the demands on your time and the intrusion in your life.
  • You know that you and your parent need help — but you’re not sure what you need, where to get it or how to choose among the options that are available, and you don’t have time to look for it.

…then boomeroptions can give you the guidance, advice and resources you need to celebrate and support your parent’s desire for independence and dignity without compromising your need and right to have a life that doesn’t always seem to revolve around your parents and their needs. 

Our process is simple.

-  It begins with  complimentary, no-obligation meeting with you.

-  Then, we set up an evaluation and planning session  in your senior’s home.

- The plan we develop is, essentially, a blueprint for how to proceed, either on your own or with help. If you wish, you can take advantage of our implementation services, which will be tailored to your specific needs.

- Whether you do everything yourself, or you contract for our help, we will undertake periodic review sessions to measure progress and findings and help you determine next steps

- As our client, our “toolbox“, which includes our internal and external resources, is yours to access as you need it.
