Oh, change. It’s so hard to accept change…and yet, life is full of changes. Some are good, like finding love, having work / life achievements and traveling. But others can be difficult and painful. Getting older is one of those challenges.

As busy Americans, we rush through the routine of taking a shower, brushing our teeth, getting dressed and grabbing a quick breakfast without even thinking twice about it. But what if you had a hard time standing up or holding items in your hands? For seniors with disability care needs, the reality of a hot shower just might be a luxury. But it doesn’t have to be!
Will I make a difference in the world? What’s my purpose for being here? Will people remember me after I’m gone? These are important questions that everyone contemplates at some point in life.

As the old adage goes, “shop until you drop.” This saying is stated in jest, but for elderly adults, this could sadly be true, especially if he or she has limited mobility and difficulty walking or standing for extended periods of time. Thankfully, NuevaCare offers senior care services for Millbrae seniors struggling to take care of basic shopping and life needs.
