Transitioning Adults plus® is a division of Allison, Brown & Collegae, Inc focused on serving older adults and their families.

Transitioning Adults plus® relies on trust and integrity to build relationships that allow us to address the most common conce s of adults over fifty-five.We have spoken to men and woman who agree they are conce ed primarily with the answers to these questions:

• Will I outlive my money?
• Will I be able to maintain my independence?
• How will I remain relevant when I am no longer a part of the work force?

You may have heard the saying, “A failure to plan is a plan to fail.” While many of us have lived by this mantra in our work lives we have rarely followed through to consciously apply these same principles to our personal lives. I have lived by these words professionally and personally for over a decade.

The most disabling condition: attitude. The most enabling condition: Attitude!

Are You Living Safely?

As we age we often take things for granted. We’ve lived in our homes for many years and have become accustomed to the way things are but are we alert to changes that may impact our safety in our homes? Many of the people I work with have difficulty with balance. Whether caused by an ear infection or a more chronic condition a real result of balance issues is fall risks. Knowing that you have trouble with falls is the first step to protecting yourself from serious injury. Let’s take a walk around the house and see how safe is home really! Let’s walk through a typical day.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Adero Allison

“There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers” ~ Rosalyn Carter

More than 50 million people, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year.

Family caregivers provide the overwhelming majority of long term-care services in the U.S., approximately 80%. Over three-quarters (78%) of adults living in the community and in need of long-term care depend on family and friends as their only source of help; 14% receive a combination of family and purchased assistance, and only 8% used paid help only.

59% of family caregivers who care for someone over the age of 18 either work or have worked while providing care. And 62% have had to make some adjustments to their work life, from reporting late to work to giving up work entirely.

How to get started

We never think we will be the person who needs care but things happen. Whether the effects of aging and disease decrease your ability to manage alone or some type of traumatic event creates a sudden need for help the effects can be devestating to us and our families. In our work we know that contingency plans are essential to the smooth operation of any business. Why not think and plan ahead for the contingencies of life.

We know we will not live forever but the statistics tell us that our life spans are continuing to lengthen. My aunt will be 100 this year. My parents, 89 and 91. We addressed the need for changes proactively and have assisted them in making life transitions by choice.

Don't wait until a fall requires an emergency decision on how to live the next five years. Think ahead and put plans in place that address your dream life. Talk to professionals who can help you put your finances in order. Get help developing legal documents that assure your wishes will be followed.Don't leave your life to chance.

Roger von Oech said "Dreams are the opening edge of our craziness."

Keep dreamining and turn your dreams into plans for your life transitions!
