Dear Neighbor: We know that you are self-reliant and that you enjoy living in your own home. We also know that you’re not ready to give up your independence. But, like most of us, there are times when you could use some help. Have you stopped driving and you need rides to the doctor or the grocery store? Maybe you need help finding someone to cut the grass, shovel the snow, fix a plumbing leak or do some electrical wiring. Maybe you just need a friendly visit from a neighbor, to talk or have a good laugh. ShareCare of Leelanau can help with all those things and more. Founded as a non-profit organization in 1993, ShareCare is an innovative program that promotes independent living by providing assisted living services to over 330 members—everything from household chores to social activities to personalized healthcare. ShareCare members enjoy easy access to a broad range of services delivered by experienced caregivers, trusted local independent contractors and a caring network of volunteers based in your neighborhood. When health issues arise, ShareCare works closely with each member's physicians and the health care providers they have chosen. Our Care Coordinator visits the home to help the family with care planning and can offer health-related recommendations that are personalized to meet individual needs. Let ShareCare help you remain independent and comfortable in your own home by offering you easy access to the programs and services available to you in your community. Give us a call at 231-386-CARE (2273). We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Or, if you’d like, we’ll schedule visit to your home to discuss the ShareCare program with you. Sincerely, The Board of Directors |
