Integrated Aging Well CONSULTING
INTEGRATED +INDIVIDUALIZED= OPTIMIZED INDEPENDENCE
Barbara Dopyera Daley, M.S. It is so rewarding to link older adults, families, and care providers together as we coordinate and plan for emotional, physical, psychological, financial and social well being of older adults. I strive to always act empathically and keep the goal of helping people attain the "best aging experience possible" at the core of my work.
This is an exciting time in history to be growing older due to technology, medical advances, and research and education.
Philosophy
-
Aging is a part of life and everyone deserves to have the best aging experience possible.
-
Positive change can happen at any age!
-
As we design strategies for the older adult we must consider the caregiving circle of elder, family, and professional caregivers.
-
We can't always control what happens as we age, but there are ways to have positive influences on the overall aging experience.
