Visit  --  Listen  --  Empower

At Senior New Ways:

  • We visit seniors where they live – home, assisted living, care facilities – we give them rides or bring them what they need

  • We listen to their stories, marvel at their wisdom, capture their legacies, find out what they need and bring in care-partners

  • We bring them music, fun, movement, uplifting insights, sharing – in groups or one-on-one with their caregivers

  • We offer this community of care to the world

Our parents and their generation have incredible value – they deserve dignity, respect, honor – and we need to hear their stories and get their insights.

We understand seniors – they need to be loved, cared for – they have been great contributors, they have much to share with the rest of us, they served their country, they are deserving of our love and attention… for us, being a senior is not a sentence of obscurity and despair and depression… it is light, uplifting, fun, meaningful…

WE VALUE THE OLDER GENERATION

Our vision is to build, maintain and nurture many “care communities”, formed and supported by volunteer in-home visits. Our visitor program will create groups of those visited in various neighborhoods. They will be supported by volunteer transportation, basic home services, and referrals to many professionals in whole health and other services. Persons in their homes and persons in assisted living are included. The family of Senior New Ways group classes, their one-on-one DVD program counterparts, and the ongoing support of groups of neighbors, elders, caregivers etc. will round out the care community. As we succeed in Northern California, we will expand by franchising our care community model to other regions, states and countries through workshops and courses, all supported by the growing base of Senior New Ways content.
