J. Heinlein, owner of SYNERGY HomeCare of Westchester, shares his journey from a 26-year Wall Street career to home care franchise owner on The Inspired Stories podcast. He reveals how he focuses on creating a culture of communication and respect that serves both clients and caregivers alike.

J. Heinlein’s time in Wall Street led to a misalignment of personal values and passions, resulting in his unfulfillment. This is why he decided to transition to a home care career that allowed him greater personal contribution and impact.

He aligned with SYNERGY HomeCare because the franchise’s culture reflected shared values, and he saw the business model to be sustainable and offer growth opportunities. This opened up the opportunity to completely reinvent his former business model. He now focuses on creating a culture of communication and respect that serves both clients and caregivers alike. In his opinion, this happens when you respect and empower people. This results in active contribution to the company’s success, fosters a positive work environment and creates a sustainable foundation for growth.

Encouraging Seniors to go Outside

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Mobility and getting outside more often is closely tied to improving senior health, but it’s not quite that easy for seniors who may have trouble getting around. However, home care providers and family members can take steps to encourage their loved ones to get outside even if they are concerned about moving about.

It’s important to start small, experts say. Even something as simple as encouraging seniors to sit by an open window may may inspire them to go outside more often. From there, caregivers and seniors can build up to more strenuous activities, whether it be accompanying them to get the mail or going for a walk around the neighborhood.

There are also certain steps caregivers can take if they have the appropriate setting. For instance, planting a garden or sitting on a patio or deck could be equally beneficial.

The simple act of getting outside offers a variety of benefits, many of which extend beyond physical health. Perhaps most importantly, studies have shown that physical activity and heading outdoors can greatly reduce the symptoms of depression, which is a significant senior health concern. In fact, as many as 5 million adults 65 and older have subsyndromal depression, which falls just below the clinical diagnosis.
