Although many people believe that aging parents benefit most from home care,

living alone can be isolating and even frightening for older people. In Queens you

will find a large spectrum of assisted living facilities to choose from. Queens offers

many advantages for seniors with communities located in nice neighborhoods where

you can walk to events and restaurants and still feel very safe knowing your home is

right around the corner. Within these assisted living communities, you can come and

go as you please. You will always have a safe and friendly home to come back to with

other residents where you can share your adventures with rather then going home

alone. At A Better Choice Elder Care, we concentrate on three major points.

The first one is, will my loved one get the right level of care needed? This is by far the

most important issue you need to address. From the start, we will help determine

the right community and the level of care your loved one needs. Second will be the

location of the community. We want to find a community where friends and family

can be close. The last major point will be the cost of the community. Is this

community within the family budget, not just for today but for years to come?

We help factor in all the extra cost you might over look. We will also educate you

on finding ways to help pay for these communities through various government

programs. We are a free referral service and are dedicated to the complete

satisfaction of the people we serve. Contact us now and one of our Elder Care Advisors

will walk you through every step of this important decision competely free of charge.

That’s why we truly are A Better Choice. Please contact Ann Donnelly at: 1-877-ELDER11.
