Lifestyle is all
about choice and
independence.
Let’s savor the
daily experiences
of life and
cherishing
connections —
now and forever.
As we age, many of
us need some form of
assistance to
continue living
independently.
Without it, seniors can
be forced to give up
cherished
independence for
premature
institutionalization.
Forever Young offers a variety of services to ease the burdens faced by elderly seniors and adults with disabilities. With the addition of some services to help with the tasks of daily living, these individuals can continue living independently.
Whether the family lives at a distance or across town, care management can provide peace of mind and access to resources that caregivers may not even realize are available.
Our professionals begin with a FREE in-depth assessment
in the home of each individual. From this assessment, we
then create a personalized plan of care based on specific
needs. Many clients may be coping with chronic medical
conditions, social isolation or simply the need for light
housekeeping and/or meal preparation.
We will campaign on
your behalf to
ensure you receive
the assistance
needed to improve
your self-sufficiency
and quality of life.
Consistent with our
commitment to
preserve the
independence of older
adults for as long as
possible, Forever
Young offers several
services that support
older adults to ―age in
place.‖
Forever Young also
provides the community
with information about, and
access to, services
regardless of who provides
them. In this way, we are

Each of our programs are designed to help seniors live independently by relieving them of some of the burdens of daily duties and tasks which they can no longer manage on their own.
Some seniors have
disabilities that make
normal daily activities a
challenge, others are frail
and simply require
assistance with more
strenuous activities, while
some have cognitive
disabilities that make
managing their financial
affairs a challenge.
Half of those served are
between 80 and 100
years old; 70% have
some disability; and
almost all have a high
degree of frailty. More
than 90% of these
clients served are able
to continue to live
independently either at
home or in the
community near friends.
Through regular
visitation and interaction,
our care consultants and
volunteers are dedicated
to relieving the hardship
that can often come with
living independently at
an older age. and in
helping to enable elders
to continue thriving on
their own.
We’re committed to making a
real difference in the lives of
our clients. We work together
with the family to promote their
health, independence, and
social interactions in a safe,
supportive environment. If you
think you’d make a great
addition to our family, we’d
love to meet you.

In 1994, my grandmother seemed that she might live
forever, gardening in the front yard by day and crocheting in
her ―Lazyboy‖ while listening to the television by night. She
used to take walks around the block with her dog every day
too. Lucky for us, she lived in the home for over 30 years
and had loving and caring neighbors that watched out for
her.
Confusion began to set in and it became more and more
apparent that she couldn’t be without some type of
supervision. My brother and mother relocated to Visalia
and moved in with her for the last ten years of her life,
assisting with the little things like housekeeping, going to
the grocery store and companionship as needed.
Our family knew nothing about incontinence,
forgetfulness, and/or dehydration. Grandma
began to go in and out of the hospital and her life-
long doctor began to suggest rather firmly that
other arrangements would need to be
considered. Returning home alone would not be
an option. Her doctor was very eager to place her
in a nursing home, which we could not imagine.
We had no idea what to do… There were so many
options out there for older adults and everything
seemed so overwhelming and confusing to work
through, so we counted on the doctors to guide us.
She begged and pleaded to return home with her dog
―Pepe‖ and do her gardening. What should we
do? She became combative and the nursing home
sent her back to the hospital where they then refused
to take her back! Now what?
Finally, we were able to place her in another nursing
home where she passed away in April of 2001 at the
age of 93.
1. How much do we know about what our loved ones really want or need to retain their life spirit?
2. Have we considered what gave them the most joy while they were alive?
3. Were they social? Or did their joy come from raising their family?
4. Was there ever a discussion about how they wanted to approach the end of their life?
