"ADVOCATING FOR OUR FUTURE SELVES"
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I spent My Childhood Wondering if I COULD And I spent My adulthood hoping that I WOULD come up with An IDEA To do some good. Something UNExplained, Something UNCOnSTrAiNed ThAT cAN HELP PRevent others Especially Older Adults from Experiencing A Feeling That I HAVE experienced And I Believe that we all have experienced- Loneliness.
It's Time forA Change inhow we treat older adults:Empathizing with Rather than sympathizing for this population, which is one of the only (if not the only) vulnerable BUT still capable populationS that we all either are or will become part of.
WE ARE HELPING to Further define (or even redefine) what it means TO 'AGe in Place' FOR those who associate this GOAL (Or aspiration)witH Opportunity yet Uncertainty, Excitement yet nervousness, Growth yet change,AND loSS.
HOWEVER, There's Something (which Shouldn't Still be Categorized as a Thing) That Can HElp Prevent Older Adults from Experiencing Loneliness While also allowing them TO age in place with dignity and respect- THEIR Pets. Their pets Provide them WIth A Reason for Getting OuT of Bed to start their morning routine, AND WE provide THEm with the support that they need so that they can regain (and maintain) their independence (or interdependence) in Activities of daily living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)To continue their daytime, evening, and Nighttime routines within the comfort and safety of their homes That they share with their pets. BY taking care of PeTS,IT Reminds Older AdultsThat they NEed to Continue Taking CARe OF THEMselvesSo That They CAn Continue taking care of THEm.
In this intrinsically motivating and extrinsically rewarding Cycle,THey RelY On EACH OTher,They Identify with EACh OTher,AND They Bring out the Best in each other.
BY Advocating for older adults And Their PETswe are not only ADvocating for our future selves but also OUr CUrrent or Future Pets.
Our goal is to Make Sure That WE Will ALL HAVE THE OPTIONto NOT Only AGe in PlacE But ALSO Age In place With OUR Pets.
