Home Care Assistance, Balanced Care Method™ Brings New Meaning to Customer Service

Home Care Assistance (www.homecareassistance.com), a premier senior home care agency based in Palo Alto, CA, released its exciting new caregiver training system earlier this month: the Balanced Care Method™. Exclusive to Home Care Assistance’s forty-plus locations throughout North America, the method promotes longevity and wellness for seniors by emphasizing a healthy diet, physical activity, exercises to sharpen the mind, maintaining social ties and achieving consistent state calmness and balance.

The Balanced Care Method™ was created by Dr. James H. Johnson, Co-Founder of Home Care Assistance and a geriatric PhD with more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Johnson based his new method on a major study of the world’s centenarians and designed its principles to result in longer, more fulfilling lives. His carefully crafted program of lifestyle behaviors are centered on moderation and variety. Components include innovative diet and exercise, mind stimulating activities, and fun daily checklists that provide customers with “instant gratification” and a sense of elevated self esteem.

"No other home care company offers a senior care solution that promotes healthy longevity,” said Lily Sarafan, COO of Home Care Assistance. “Home Care Assistance caregivers can literally add years to a client's life with our proprietary training program. The status quo of caregivers monitoring clients without a proactive effort to improve the state of their bodies and minds is no longer adequate.”

One of the most innovative sections of The Balanced Care Method™ is “Sharp Minds,” which gives caregivers mentally stimulating activities helpful for keeping seniors as present and engaged in everyday life as possible. Examples include skill-based games, problem-solving puzzles and creative arts activity.

"Home Care Assistance’s caregiver training method is grounded in solid scientific research of the lifestyle factors that contribute to an increased lifespan,” said Dr. Yael Shrager PhD, Neuroscientist, Harvard Memory Researcher In particular, the emphasis on mental stimulation aligns with what the memory research community has known all along - active use of both hemispheres of the brain through mental exercises can improve short-term memory and delay the onset of dementia."

Home Care Assistance’s commitment to progressiveness and excellence sets them apart from all other senior care agencies in the industry, said Sarafan. “We are thrilled to offer clients and their families a higher level of home care services from caregivers trained in the Balanced Care Method™.”
