Traditional nursing home or assisted living care can be very expensive and may not provide the autonomy and lifestyle that many older adults desire. Conversely, family members - especially those caring for a parent long-distance - may struggle to decide what resources are needed to keep their loved one independent and safe in his or her own home. The magnitude and complexity of these decisions can leave families feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to ensure that aging parents or vulnerable adults are receiving the support they need. Menomonie-based Aurora Community Services has a unique solution for families in these situations through their innovative service Age of Tomorrow. The idea behind Age of Tomorrow is simple – the best way to care for aging parents and to most effectively manage long-term care dollars is to care for seniors in their own homes. Providing in-home care makes the most sense financially while allowing the older adult to remain in familiar and comfortable surroundings. By working closely with Aurora’s Certified Care Managers and Registered Nurses, families participate in the creation of a personalized Tomorrow Plan custom-tailored to meet the needs of their aging parent. Since each individual is one-of-a kind, the Tomorrow Plan for each individual will be unique and will focus on providing whatever is needed to ensure their safety, independence, and dignity. The comprehensive Tomorrow Plan can include not only simple things like the addition of bathtub grab bars or wheelchair ramps but also the services of medical and nursing professionals to help with medication management, explanations of diagnoses, or personal care. Regardless of the need Aurora’s skilled professionals will provide the resources which meet the individual’s unique needs. Aurora has almost 25 years experience providing high quality community based services to families and individuals. Their services help ensure that aging seniors and vulnerable adults receive excellent professional care and support while providing families with the peace of mind that their loved one is receiving dignified and expert care.
