May is Older Americans Month. The theme this year is “Aging Unbound.” Older adults have built resilience and strength over their lives through successes, failures, joys, and difficulties. Their stories and contributions help to support and inspire others. We will celebrate the strength of older adults with special emphasis on ways older adults can remain in, and be involved with, their communities. We are concluding our stories today of ALSM residents and program participants.
Meet Janet & Steve Ellis, an ALSM at Home program participant and her spouse.
The ALSM at Home program was a seamless fit for a couple with a long relationship with ALSM. In addition to family working for ALSM in the past, Steve was a founding member of the golf committee and still volunteers at the annual event. They began using the services of ALSM at Home in 2019, following Steve’s transplant surgery. Steve is Janet’s primary caregiver. Following surgery, he couldn't provide for all of her care needs. As Steve recovered, the ALSM at Home team provided a helping hand. After Steve recovered, there was a period of time when he resumed full responsibility as a caregiver. However, as time passed, he had the ALSM at Home team return to provide assistance. They now visit four days a week. “Caregiving is a 24/7 job. The ALSM at Home caregivers are a huge help. They are dependable, caring, and compassionate. They are like family to us. I don’t know what we would do without them,” Steve shared. The ALSM at Home caregivers support Janet by exercising with her, taking walks outside when the weather allows or assisting her with her exercise bike indoors, assisting with personal care, and playing stimulating board games. He said, “In the past, I was always nervous to leave Janet alone. Now I can take a break. I know she is in good hands. Janet’s caregivers are excellent. They always go the extra mile; for example, they pick out her outfits. Having their support allows us to remain in our home. We’ve been married for 54 years. I don’t want to think about moving. I hope to be here for a long time.”
