Emeritus at Citrus Heights Launches Home Visits Program
“You Don’t Have to Live with Us for Us to Help!---A Complimentary Service for Seniors

Citrus Heights, CA August 4, 2009---Emeritus at Citrus Heights, an Emeritus Senior Living Community announced today that it has launched a home visits program, “You Don’t Have to Live with Us for Us to Help”—part of Emeritus Senior Living’s Safely Somewhere program. We are committed to making sure that every senior in our area in need finds the combination of programs and services that serves them best, even if they do not live with us.

At Emeritus Citrus Heights, we recognize that some of our area seniors may want to live at home as long as they can. We also know that these seniors may face a variety of challenges living at home, and may need assistance identifying all of their support service options. This is why Emeritus Citrus Heights is pleased to offer our team of dedicated health care professionals to serve these seniors and their families as a complimentary service.

“We realize there are many seniors in our area going without the vital health, social, and supportive services they need to maintain their quality of life at home,” said, Jay Anderson, Executive Director at Emeritus Citrus Heights. “Our Home Visits program helps these seniors cope with their challenges and provides a host of resources to help them stay healthy and connected to the community.”

A few of the services that Emeritus Citrus Heights will be offering to our local seniors will consist of:

• Nurse Evaluation to help identify care needs
• Support system check to identify potential challenges based upon gaps in needed assistance
• Referrals to other area providers as needed based upon needs uncovered
• Post visit follow up coordination with families and referral sources after home visit
• Access to Emeritus resources such as family lending library and senior safety tips
• A listening ear and enjoyable visit

If you know of a senior that could benefit from one of these home visit services, contact Emeritus Citrus Heights today
at (916)729-2722.
