Quality Care for Quality of Life: New Acti-Kare Branch in Plano Provides Compassionate Assistance to Area Seniors

PLANO, Texas, July 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Supporting seniors' quality of life while still making sure they receive all of the care they need can be a difficult balance, especially when those care needs fluctuate or increase. Often, seniors themselves would rather stay in the familiarity and comfort of their own homes, but relatives and caregivers may be forced to make difficult choices, pressuring them to relocate to live with family or even in a nursing institution as providing all of this assistance becomes more difficult. Well aware of this dilemma and the great need for professional-level, non-medical care that supports seniors' individual lives and requirements, North Texas resident Yubi Navarro decided to open her own Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Services branch.  

"The home health field felt like a natural fit for me," states Ms. Navarro, who has over 15 years of service industry experience, including five years in health care supplies sales and distribution. "I recognized a great need for in-home care services for seniors in this area. The Acti-Kare business model is a perfect match to help me provide seniors with a care plan that meets their needs."  

A respected nationwide company, Acti-Kare's offerings are designed with the goal of supporting seniors' own activity levels, dignity, and independence. Highly trained and compassionate Acti-Kare caregivers can provide companionship, transportation and mobility assistance, help with errands, bill-paying, shopping, and nutritional aid, perform light housekeeping duties, and more. Many caregivers have prior experience and/or training in caring for those with Alzheimer's or other special needs, and clients can easily obtain as many hours of support as desired or needed, even if those needs change over time.

"Acti-Kare provides flexibility in the frequency of in-home care services, whether seniors or families need a few hours of help or round-the-clock assistance," Ms. Navarro comments.

She adds, "It is especially comforting for relatives to know that their aging parents and grandparents are being looked after by the industry's most professional caregivers." Because of its focus on supporting and maintaining seniors' independence, Acti-Kare's services are ideal for helping seniors remain in their own comfortable homes for as long as possible.

Although relatively new to the area herself, Ms. Navarro has had family living in North Texas for over 14 years and is very familiar with the area, which is why she decided to make it her new home. She is enthusiastic about performing a service that will so highly benefit her local community. Her new Acti-Kare branch will serve Plano and surrounding areas.

"I saw an opportunity to boost quality of life for area seniors through Acti-Kare," Ms. Navarro concludes.
