Do you know your senior care options?

When the Minnesota Long Term Care Imperative conducted a poll last year they found some interesting results – the majority of people define long-term care as nursing home care.

As the Aging Exchange blog from Aging Services of Minnesota explains:

“Senior care in Minnesota is actually a diverse system of different kinds of support, resources to help people stay independent, care options based on an individual’s needs and wants, and variety of different housing and lifestyle choices. We need the whole system (not just one part of it) to be strong in order to meet the changing demands of our aging population.”

Understanding your senior care options and how to choose the best fit option for you is a main philosophy behind Lifesprk. Our mission is to help people live sparked lives, addressing the issues (including health and safety) that often interfere with people’s ability to focus on what is most important in their lives. More importantly, our goal is to eliminate the roller coaster of health care crises that so often reduce people’s quality of life and require them to seek extensive care and services.

Get started understanding senior care options and proactively planning how you or a loved one will stay off the roller coaster of crises by requesting Lifsprk’s free Navigation Kit today – just call 866-869-8770 or ShineOn@lifesprk.com.
