Osceola County Council on Aging

When my wife's mother suffered her second stroke and had to be confined to a wheelchair, it became something of a problem to coordinate care and services for her as everybody in the family had their own jobs to attend to. A friend recommended that we contact the Osceola County Council on Aging to see what type of services they could offer. We were quite pleasantly surprised to find the number and quality of programs that they could provide to my mother in law. They were able to send out a home worker twice a week, who assisted with meal preparation, laundry and cleaning, as well as providing companionship during the day while we all worked. They also had an adult day care center program, where they would pick her up and take her to the center center where she could interact with other clients. The people at this agency were very friendly and professional and my mother in law thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the adult day care and made several new friends there. When her condition worsened in later years, the agency worked with us in finding nursing home and hospice placement for her.
