Let’s face it. We all collect stuff to some extent. But as we age, it gets harder to tackle cleaning a cupboard or throwing out a stack of newspapers, or donating clothes to charity. Many seniors don’t start out collecting things on purpose – they just begin to lose their desire, or perhaps the energy, to keep after it like they once did. And perhaps they have health problems that make it even that much more difficult to keep their homes organized and clean.
That’s where Home Instead Senior Care can help. Our trained and bonded caregivers can help the elderly with our home helper services. We’re just a phone call away at 707.586.1516.

Assisted Living, Alzheimer's Care and Skilled Nursing are all offered at Brighton Gardens of Santa Rosa.
We are beginning our series of blog posts featuring both independent living and assisted living communities throughout Sonoma County. Today, we’re featuring Brighton Gardens of Santa Rosa.
Brighton Gardens of Santa Rosa is nestled in the sunny foothills of the elegant Fountaingrove section of town, just minutes from historic downtown Santa Rosa and Northern California wine country.
You’ll find that there is no shortage of golf courses here too – if that’s your thing.
The makeup of the development is one- and two-bedroom studio apartments that offer spectacular views of the area.
More importantly, though, Brighton Gardens is well-staffed to take care of seniors with their assisted living, Alzheimer’s care and 24-hour professional nursing services. Senior couples with different health requirements get the advantage of having those three care options under the same roof.
Brighton Gardens’ special programs include indoor activities in music, arts and crafts, as well as outdoor activities that let residents enjoy the natural beauty of Sonoma County.
For more information on this senior living facility, please call 707.566.8600.
And if you need assistance on living independently at home – where ever home may be – simply call Home Instead Senior Care of Sonoma County at 707.586.1516 anytime. We’ll be glad to help you with your senior home care needs.
