TLC for Seniors LLC

There are two things that await all of us in life: taxes and old age. In the past, when the U.S. was primarily a nation of farmers, artisans and craftspeople living in small rural towns, extended families were the rule, and elderly family members could usually depend on their children to care for them as necessary as they got older. In today’s fragmented and often dysfunctional post-industrial world, the elderly lack this same type of support, and often wind up in cold, impersonal care facilities that may or may not have effective supervision.

 

TLC For Seniors, LLC is an alternative to nursing homes and care centers. The people at TLC For Seniors provide limited, non-medical, in-home care for seniors that are capable of managing their own primary needs, but may require some limited assistance in order to continue living in their own homes.

 

The problem with nursing homes is that patients are more often treated as “inmates.” Freedom and privacy is often limited, and daily routines – which are of great importance to many of the elderly – are frequently interrupted. This is particularly difficult for elderly couples.

 

The people at TLC For Seniors LLC support those seniors who wish to retain their independence by staying in the comfort and privacy of their own homes by providing limited care, supervision and companionship as required. This can result not only in a superior quality of life for elderly family members, but significant savings in terms of the cost of elder care.

 

Services that TLC For Seniors can provide include personal care, light housekeeping and laundry duties, meal planning and preparation, minor home repair and maintenance, and snow removal when necessary. Their workers can arrange or provide transportation and even help schedule medical and other appointments, as well as sort mail and help in paying monthly bills. The end result is that seniors are able to remain in their own homes while maintaining the maximum amount of freedom and automony.

 

Located in Wausau Wisconsin, TLC For Seniors was founded and is headed by Jeanette Chrouser, who has a Master’s Degree in Speech Language Pathology and has been working in the field of geriatric rehabilitation since the early 1980s. Ms. Chrouser provides an initial in-home consultation free of charge, in which she meets will all family members involved and conducts an in-depth assessment of the client’s needs. After that, should the client wish to retain the company’s services, they may schedule appointments on a “as needed” basis – there is no contract nor minimum service required. The company’s caregivers are screened, trained and monitored, expected to meet the highest professional standards and are fully insured and bonded by the State of Wisconsin. Prospective clients can contact Ms. Chrouser via telephone or e-mail to set up an intial consultation.
