Florida is often thought of as the prime retirement or vacation destination for seniors. One of the key reasons for that has to do with the warm weather, especially during winter. Certain parts of the state are also considered laid back, Boca Raton being one of the them. Now a new home health care agency has set up shop and it’s expected to be highly beneficial for seniors who require some extra care and want to remain within the comfort of their home.
JFS at Home is hoping that they’ll be able to make the decision about home care services easier for those seniors who may be facing some difficult challenges on their own. According to some studiesregarding the topic, it appears that when seniors are able to remain at home, even when dealing with some difficult challenges, such as physical or health related, it reduces stress and anxiety, thus helping promote a better atmosphere for them.
Florida has the highest percentage of seniors of any state in the country, and their population of seniors, based on percentage of the overall population, is expected to double by 2030. That means there’s going to be an increase in demand of in home care services, both of the support and health kind.
President and CEO Danielle Hartman was quoted as stating in a recent press release, as noted in the news article, New Home Healthcare Agency Opens [i]n Boca, published by Boca News:
“As a result, we are about to experience a ‘senior tsunami’ with many seniors needing home care to continue aging in place. JFS already offered several senior services to our community — home care really is the only area of care that we did not provide, and it is a natural progression of our care for seniors.”
“One of the goals of the JFS Board of Directors Strategic Plan is to plan for the future needs of older people in our community. As a result, the JFS Board approved moving forward with the creation of a separate yet affiliated home care agency to be known as JFS at Home. As a member of the JFS Board and the president of the JFS at Home Board, I am very excited to be part of the launch of this new endeavor.”
For many seniors, medical care at home may be necessary following surgery, a medical emergency, or other situation. By receiving it at home, not only will this help to save money, but it will also provide a more comfortable environment in which to recover. That can certainly be a win-win for all.
