A Love Story: Walter and MargaretThursday, February 7, 2019

Many of the couples who reside in your home have been with you for years. They downsized out of the large family home when the house maintenance became too much and they relished meals being prepared for them, but they were still healthy and active and ready to enjoy all your residence has to offer.
Over the years though, their health has declined. The hard part is when one person declines more rapidly and begins to need more care, but the couple desperately does not want to be separated. That’s exactly the case with Walter and Margaret.
Walter and Margaret have been married for 64 years, and in all those years, they’ve never spent a night apart. When they first moved into your residence six years ago, they joined every activity and club — they played bridge twice a week, Margaret sang in the choir and Walter joined the woodworking club.
Over the past year, they’ve pulled out of all their activities because Walter is struggling to participate. Now playing Bridge is too complicated to follow and he finds crowds overwhelming.
Margaret is a social butterfly who is missing her friends and her activities, but she doesn’t want to leave Walter alone in their room all day. If she leaves him for more than 10 minutes, he starts worrying and is terribly upset when she returns. You fear the day when Walter’s cognition might require a move to long term care and they could be separated.
Warm Embrace will support Walter and Margaret within your residence, allowing them to remain together in their preferred residence. A Warm Embrace caregiver will spend one-on-one time with Walter, engaging him in activities that he can manage by modifying everything to match his current ability level. Margaret will receive some much-needed respite and an opportunity to see her friends and rejoin her social groups.
Most importantly, Walter and Margaret will still be living together in your residence for their 65th wedding anniversary, maintaining their perfect track record of never spending a single night apart. |
