There is no single explanation for how and why some people live healthier and more active lives than others. But there is a place where more people live longer and healthier than any other place on earth: Okinawa, Japan. Recently, scientists have been studying this group of seniors to see if we could learn to live a longer and more productive life.
The Balanced Care Method™, exclusive to Home Care Assistance, is based on the scientically studied lifestyle choices of the longest and healthiest living population on earth: the seniors of the Okinawa region of Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual in Okinawa. More important, people in their 70s, 80s and beyond enjoy incredible good health and independence. Excellent physical health, mental awareness, and inner calm are common among the studied elders. The Balanced Care Method™ seeks to capture some of the lifestyle factors that go towards creating such long-lived and healthy people. Its philosophy can be summed up in two words: moderation and variety. Components of this method include:
- Healthy Diet
- Physical Activity
- Social Ties and Family
- Calmness and Purpose
- Sharp Minds
- Spirituality
Home Care Assistance caregivers throughout North America are trained in the Balanced Care Method™ offering the first senior care solution with an emphasis on balance and longevity. By working with specific lifestyle behaviors, Home Care Assistance caregivers extend and enhance the lives of seniors, helping them live longer, happier, more balanced lives.
