No one welcomes a “tsunami”, but North America is experiencing a rapidly raising tide of senior citizens never before seen in our history. Current demographics indicate that for the next 20 years, as many as 10,000 citizens will be reaching age 65 each day in the U.S. Additionally, news media reported this week that life expectancy in the U.S. rose again; to a record average of 78.8 years. For perspective, in 1950, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 68.2 years. It is amazing that in just one generation; we’re living an additional 10 years!
Our society is blessed to have the wisdom and perspective of our elders. Yet, we are now called to create new methods and services to help our growing senior population age in-place and maintain a high quality of life, in their silver years. This is where Amada Senior Care (Ah-ma-dah) aims to partner with our seniors to live the lives they desire, by providing assistance with their daily activities.
Amada takes a holistic approach to meet senior’s needs including; providing excellence in private duty non-medical care giving, navigating the complexities of long-term care insurance claims, assisting with veteran’s benefits, and converting life insurance policies to cash. Additionally, Amada is launching unique technology that helps seniors stay in their homes using passive sensors that can trigger alerts to caregivers in case of an emergency or decline in activity or missed medication.
We look forward to addressing your questions and helping you with our services. Please call us at: 239.963.1545.
