Aging Well

The phrases “70 is the new 50” or “80 is the new 60” have never been truer than today, where seniors are healthier, in better shape, and living an active lifestyle more than ever before. In the pages that follow you’ll find some of Sonoma County’s best resources to help you or a loved one get the most out of life’s “golden” years.

WHO WE ARE

At Home Caregivers At Home Caregivers serves those who are recovering, convalescing or aging wherever they call home.

We are proud to be the leading provider of in-home non-medical care services for seniors throughout Sonoma and Marin counties for more than 16 years. As the employer of record, we pay ALL wages, taxes and workers compensation insurance. All caregivers are bonded, screened and insured. We encourage the development of the client-caregiver relationship through consistent caregiver scheduling. Licensed by the state of California, At Home Caregivers is locally owned and operated – not a franchise.

Our “Legendary Caregiver Service” includes in-home care, dementia care, personal care, hospice care and companion care services.

Even though your body changes as you age, those changes don’t have to limit your independence, energy, or enthusiasm for the activities you enjoy. The key to healthy aging is a healthy lifestyle. Our online resources and programs, in-person classes, and multidisciplinary care teams help you manage chronic conditions, reduce pain, sleep better, stay active, maintain a healthy weight, and more.

Many older adults prefer to stay at home as they age. The best way to stay independent is to know when, where, and who to ask for help. Become familiar with your community’s support services for seniors, such as transportation, financial counseling, and home-delivered meals. You can find out more about the services available in your area by calling your local senior center, Area Agency on Aging (AAA), or by visiting an Eldercare Locator.

LIFECARE PLANNING

Whether you’re healthy or have an ongoing or serious illness, it’s important to document your values, care preferences, and other end of life decisions in the event you can’t speak for yourself. Complete an advanced directive and share it with your doctor, attorney, caregiver, and family/friends. Keep it in a safe, and easy to find, place and review it from time to time to reflect changes in your medical conditions, living situation, and preferences.

CARING FOR OTHERS

Many people care for a spouse, parent, or other family member or friend. Caregiving can be a rewarding experience, but it can also be stressful. It’s important to understand you’re not alone. There is help, including family and friends, health care professionals, and persons working with community services. Here are three steps to being a good caregiver: take care of yourself, don’t help too much, and ask for help.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Estate settlement is a complex process—many people either don’t have someone they trust, or they want to spare their loved ones the time-intensive task. We take care of everything, including: managing financial assets; protecting and distributing personal belongings; tax reporting; bill payments; accounting to beneficiaries; and ultimately distributing the assets in accordance with our clients’ wishes. We worry about these things so that you (and your loved ones) don’t have to.

Our objective is to manage your investments to meet your goals, not to take unwarranted risks in an attempt to beat the market. We work to understand your goals, timeline and risk tolerance to build a portfolio that works for you. As a fee-only fiduciary investment manager, we do not accept commissions of any kind. Our fee is based on the market value of your account, which means our financial interests are in alignment with yours.

RETIREMENT SERVICES

Exchange Bank provides a wide range of retirement planning services. Our Rollover IRA program provides a rational and cost-effective alternative to traditional investment advisory services. Our certified retirement and investment specialists have a strong understanding of the unique rules that govern retirement accounts and will ensure your tax, distribution and beneficiary elections are handled with care. Our goal is to take some of the guesswork out of retirement, so you can focus on celebrating.
