Life is not always rosy and wonderful, resources are limited, family is missing, friends are few, the struggles are hard, etc. And, if your happy ending means having to find a new way to look at what makes for a happy ending, we are here for that as well. Please contact us by phone or email and let us know how we can help you. Helping Hearts Foundation is all about finding happy endings! We know we can help you and your family find a happy ending or at least get on the path to finding it. The family has asked Helping Hearts’ case management team to work alongside them, providing input and insight on how to prepare and plan for a number of future options, directing them in the complex decision making that later life planning involves. Now, as mom settles into her new home, she is able to be a participant in planning for her future care needs (yes, she is mentally able to be involved in her own decision making) and working together with her children to handle her affairs. And success! The family was able to find a great care home for their mom after asking lots of questions, getting a ‘feel’ for the board and care facility that they thought felt like mom and home, and that they were totally comfortable having mom cared for by the staff of the particular facility. The Helping Hearts’ team took the adult children to various board and care homes within the geographic area they knew mom would like and that fit the budget (and the budget was enough to match both wants and needs).
