Most seniors want to age in place successfully and safely in their homes. Advanced planning to accomplish this is vital - and not always easy or straight-forward. Emotions about the perceived loss of independence and purpose, and declines in overall health, cognition, and mobility, can be difficult to overcome. In-home care can provide the extra support to ensure the success of a well-prepared plan to safely age in place. In-home care is what we do at Senior Helpers of Greater Oklahoma City.
