Helping Steele County Seniors to Live Independently



It took a few months for us to meet Don and his wife. Don is legally blind due to a stroke, and his wife is his constant caregiver. Don’s daughter originally called Healthy Seniors looking for respite care, but his wife was not comfortable having anyone come into their home. After Don had a couple of falls, his wife agreed to have Healthy Seniors come in to their home and provide an exercise program with him to strengthen his legs. Once a week, Healthy Seniors Health & Wellness Coordinator went to do exercises with Don, do a fall prevention assessment of their home, and do small chores for them. The exercises became easier as Don gained strength in his legs, so resistance bands were added for additional benefits. As Don’s legs got stronger, he was able to get out of chairs easier and go for walks outside. Also, after a short time with the Healthy Partners program, Don’s wife was open to having a volunteer come in to provide respite. He visits with Don or takes him places in town so she could have a break from caregiving. Don enjoys spending time with his new friend, and his wife can get out and enjoy some time on her own while having the peace of mind that Don is taken care of.
