 | Our Personal Care Services... Jim is sixty years old and lives alone in his home. He wakes every morning at 6:00 a.m. and jumps in the shower. He shaves, dresses himself, and then heads to the kitchen. He prepares his favorite breakfast: a Denver omelet, whole-wheat toast, and a cup of black coffee. After breakfast he cleans up the kitchen and sits in his comfy chair and reads the newspaper. Later he may call his daughter in Portland, or perhaps head off to the grocery store to pick up a few essentials. When the day is done he puts on his favorite robe and slippers and fixes a kettle of tea. As he sips and gazes out the window into his backyard, he realizes he’s a lucky man, living a comfortable life. Why shouldn’t this be you? A Better Solution can be there to help provide you with a life like Jim’s, comfortable and in your own home. Jim is healthy, and needs no assistance, but some of us aren’t so lucky.
