Is Anyone Looking After Dad?
Positive Aging Network Offers Personalized Solutions for Local and Long-Distance Caregiving. Over 50 million Americans are caregivers for elderly parents. A unique new research and information service, Positive Aging Network, saves seniors and caregivers time and frustration searching for community and government programs, products and services anywhere in America.
Boynton Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 24, 2005 -- Joseph Faso flew over a thousand
miles from upstate New York to Palm Beach, Florida. This was not going to be a
fun-in-the-sun trip. He was on a mission and didn’t know how long it would take.
Faso’s 90-year-old dad, a resident of Palm Beach, was now at the point in his
life where he needed someone to provide daily assistance around the house.
Faso had just joined the ranks of more than 50 million American
caregivers*. He did not know where to start in his quest to find a kind and
trustworthy companion for his dad. He was quickly overwhelmed by the
requirements of this new role…finding the most qualified resources…then making
choices and decisions that would affect his dad…and his own
family.
Fortunately Faso heard about the services of Sharon Sultan
Cutler, a Certified Senior Advisor. Cutler was able to assist in the mission and
quickly ease the stress by recommending a trusted home care agency. The Faso
family was extremely relieved to be able to hire an experienced companion with
excellent references. They are grateful that “Even from afar, an accessible,
kind and capable person is addressing the daily needs of their aging
parent.”
Cutler has just launched the Positive Aging Network, a national
independent information hub that specializes in matching the needs of seniors
with high-quality and trusted resources. Acting as an impartial research
service, the Positive Aging Network tracks down all kinds of information – from
service and product providers, health needs, social service organizations,
senior agencies and specialists, government assistance, social events,
recreation, relocation services, community groups, singles’ groups and much
more.
The Positive Aging Network saves seniors and their caregivers time
and frustration. No more searching paid advertisements, making endless phone
calls, doing multiple internet searches, and interviewing a long list of
companies someone has provided. From finding a home health aide for dad,
locating a local Bingo game, checking out a singles’ group or gathering
information for relocating to senior housing , help is now at
hand.
Because the Positive Aging Network acts as an impartial service
provider, they do not accept any paid advertising. Fees are paid by client
families.
Now the Faso family can visit Florida for fun in the sun, now
that they know who is looking after dad.
The Positive Aging Network is a
division of www.MatureResources.org, the monthly internet magazine for
baby boomers through seniors. Further information will be in the website at www.MatureResources.org. Telephone between 9 AM-5PM EST at
