A BETTER WAY OF LIVING
RICKY STORY
In 2021 we embarked on a journey to find quality living arrangement for LQ's uncle "Ricky Session" He was getting up in age and due to some nagging health issues needs assistance with his day to day living activities.
CHAPTER 1
We searched for a suitable location and found conditions and options horrible. After some searching we settled on "the best of the bunch".
We quickly found out the best was not good at all and multiple moves ensued.
CHAPTER 2
Ricky's health started to decline to poor care and general neglect. We visited often but once we left falls, poor wound care, bad food, er visit, and many other issues always seemed to arise. These issues were on top of the health issues he already was experiencing.
CHAPTER 3
After 2+ long fought years Ricky's unfortunately passed. While he did have some legacy health issues, they were managed and mostly under control. But poor care he received greatly effected his outcome.
CHAPTER 4
2024 We founded Ricky's Place Care Home to honor Uncle Ricky and make sure another family does not have to go through the terrible journey we endured in the elder care world. I hope we make you proud Unk....
UNCLE RICKY
Many seniors equate greater independence with staying put at home, when in fact the opposite can be true.
The reality is that a family home can slowly turn into an oppressive environment for some seniors.
Seniors living at home alone are at greater risk of:
-
Feeling lonely and isolated
-
Higher chance of falling or accidents
-
Finding it hard to handle household tasks and personal needs
-
Not eating well or preparing meals properly
-
Having trouble keeping track of medications
-
Feeling limited by struggles with transportation
-
Missing out on social activities and friends
-
Slower response to emergencies or health problems
-
Declines in overall wellbeing and happiness
