Home Care Assistance’s Exclusive Balanced Care Method™ Designed to Promote Longer, Healthier Lives

Palo Alto, CA, August 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Breakthrough caregiver training to revolutionize senior home care industry.

Home Care Assistance of Palo Alto, California released its new caregiver training program this week: the Balanced Care Method™. This system, exclusive to Home Care Assistance 1-866-4-LiveIn™, promotes longevity and wellness for seniors throughout North America with an emphasis on lifestyle, healthy diet, physical activity, exercises to sharpen the mind, social ties and purpose.

The Balanced Care Method™ was created by Dr. James H. Johnson, Co-Founder of Home Care Assistance. As a geriatric PhD with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, he is an expert on the psychology of aging and the lifestyle choices that contribute to an improved lifespan. Based on a major study of the world’s centenarians, the Balanced Care Method™ is designed to result in longer, more fulfilling lives through a carefully crafted program of lifestyle behaviors centered on moderation and variety. This is no fly-by-night fad; the research is based upon centuries of long, healthy life spans and the habits that helped to achieve them. Components of the Method include innovative diet and exercise, mind stimulating activities, and fun daily checklists.

Home Care Assistance locations throughout North America are training their caregivers in the Balanced Care Method™, adding yet another ingredient to the brand’s unparalleled service offering and further solidifying its reputation as the “live-in specialists.” The exclusive system allows Home Care Assistance caregivers to do far more than just help seniors live independently at home. They will be working toward extending and enhancing the quality of life of these clients. “Balanced Care is the first and only approach to senior care that is based on the scientific study of those who live to 100 and beyond,” said Johnson, “This methodology is an important breakthrough in that it provides an actual framework of healthy activities and behaviors designed exclusively for seniors -- rather than just being repurposed from methodologies designed for younger people. All the evidence suggests that seniors who take part in the Balanced Care program should live longer, more satisfying lives.”

“Not only will The Balanced Care Method™ ensure that Home Care Assistance continues to deliver superior client services, but it also is a great asset for the company’s many franchise owners nationwide. The release of the system reflects Home Care Assistance’s commitment to help and accelerate the success of each of its owners,” said Jack Johnson, Director of Business Development at Home Care Assistance.
