Since 1997, our mission has been simple: We provide support and guidance as seniors—and their families—face the many challenges of aging. Growing older doesn’t have to mean a diminished quality of life. Whether it’s worries about declining health, or failing memory, or a possible loss of independence, we offer solutions that respect your dignity and individuality. With proactive planning that focu
ses on the whole person - physical, mental, and emotional well being - we help our clients and their loved ones transition gracefully to the next stage of life. What We Do:
As science enables us to live longer than ever before, it’s never been more important to plan for those later stages of life. With the right support system in place, older adults and their families can more effectively deal with, and even embrace, change. At Faenzi Associates, we act as your partner and advocate:
• Consultation
• Life Care Management
• Transition Counseling
• Bereavement Support
Consultation
Senior life transitions are usually a communal effort. For our first meeting, we bring the entire family together as a team to identify challenges and determine solutions. We focus on getting to know you, your loved ones, and your unique situation. That allows us to craft a plan that meets your goals concerning health, safety, and independence. Life Care Management
A comprehensive plan provides daily personal care and activities for the older adult. Whether the care is short-term or long-term, we work closely with family and other providers to ensure a safe environment, preserve dignity and independence, maintain healthy nutrition, and promote mental and physical stimulation. We help navigate the often bewildering maze of housing and medical options, from assisted living to skilled nursing, offering recommendations and assistance. Life Transition Counseling
The aging process tends to sneak up on us. You start to forget everyday things. Tasks once accomplished with ease are now difficult. Decline in physical and mental health in addition to the loss of purpose in life can be overwhelming. It can seem as if the world you once knew is disappearing. These all combine to create powerful feelings of helplessness and grief. We offer guidance through the process of making healthy changes to improve quality of life. End-of-Life Counseling
The end of someone’s life is a challenging time for the individual as well as their relatives. We specialize in helping you navigate through the hospice process so your loved one can depart this life with dignity and peace. Bereavement Counseling
The loss of family and friends can produce feelings of heartache and sorrow. Many seniors struggle with the grieving process and cannot recover without help. We offer support and coping strategies for older adults, so they can begin living again. Does this sound like you?
