Too many elders become isolated when they face transportation or mobility issues. Your Mom might feel it’s too difficult to navigate going to her favorite art gallery or play or might be worried about needing help on the outing.
Tampa Bay senior concierge services are designed so that it’s easy for elders to enjoy their favorite activities and join in outings with ease. Here’s a little bit about how EasyLiving’s Tampa Bay senior concierge services work, client stories and fun activity ideas for all ages in Tampa Bay.
How do EasyLiving’s Tampa Bay Senior Concierge Services work?
You/your family can hire us to provide a trained home health aide for regular outings or specific events. One of our clients goes out every Saturday with his caregiver for a “field trip”, which he tells his family is the highlight of his week. He lives in a Tampa Bay area nursing home and he needs assistance getting in and out of the car and needs help when he has to go to the bathroom. With our Tampa Bay Senior Concierge Services, the weekly events are mapped out according to his interests and all of his needs are taken care of while he is out and about.
Other times, we have planned for a home health aide to attend a family reunion, wedding or awards ceremony with the client. One client was receiving a huge honor as a retired professional and at one point he would never have considered attending due to his limitations. With the help of his trusted home health aide, he accepted the invitation and everything went smoothly at the event. So many of his former colleagues expressed their delight in seeing him (doing so well!) when he had not been attending events in the community for quite a while. After that event, he was seen much more frequently in the community and he began to feel less discouraged and isolated. He commented, “I felt like I got my identity back”.
Tampa Bay Senior Concierge Services: Fun Activity Ideas and Tips
- Have lunch or sunset dinner on the beach. There are many great restaurants with a view in Tampa Bay. You can find municipality handicap parking rules/information online, such as the Clearwater handicap parking rules. Our caregivers often suggest arriving early or going places on “off times” to avoid traffic and parking congestion and waits.
- Attend a spring training or minor league baseball game. Many of our clients are long-time baseball fans and a beautiful day out at the ballpark is a favorite activity. Check out our post with detailed information about Tampa Bay spring training (and stadium accessibility).
- See a performance at Ruth Eckerd Hall, The Straz Center or The Mahaffey Theater. Here’s a link to Ruth Eckerd Hall’s accessibility page and the main page for events/tickets and membership. You can find The Straz Center’s accessibility information here. Did you know performance venues such as these offer special audio systems for people with hearing impairments, companion bathrooms and special seating for disabled persons?
- Enjoy the amazing outdoors of Tampa Bay. Go fishing, explore a local park, take a walk, play golf (or mini golf) or simply sit outside for breakfast or lunch. Visit the Pinellas County Parks and Preserves site for details about the parks, including wheelchair accessibility.
- Check out our wide array of “indoor activity ideas” for those extra hot days. There is so much to do for all interests in Tampa Bay!
