What ARE WE ABOUT? AND WHY TAKE ON THIS MISSION?
GETTING OLDER DOESN'T MEAN BEING OLD, BUT......
The reality is that as we get older the impact of chronic diseases including Heart Failure, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) take on a new kind of importance. If seniors keep up with the signals their bodies send, little issues can remain little. The issue is what happens when the signals are missed, ignored or hidden?
WE ALL KNOW THIS LOOK, RIGHT?
Of course we do. It's a look that says "Leave me Alone" or "I'm Fine" - but what it really says is "You're not taking my independence away." In the minds of many seniors, being truthful about their health is a fast path to losing independence, respect, the ability to care for oneself
BUT REALITY IS..... AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION BECOMES PRICELESS
Rather than losing one's independence by disclosing issues and concerns, the ability to take PROACTIVE ACTION actually HELPS SENIORS MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE
