You're independent. And there is no reason that should change. In this section you'll find information about how you can continue to live an active, independent and healthy life. Sometimes the best care is the care you provide for yourself.

I can't say enough about my Meridian At Home physical therapist Karen; she was so wonderful. She would tell me funny little stories to distract me while she stretched and exercised my injured muscles. She made my therapy sessions enjoyable. Karen helped me recover much sooner than expected. So, I'm back to work and very grateful to Karen.

Maintaining Your Independence

Can you relate with these comments that other seniors, who we've helped, have shared with us:

  • “The last thing I want is to feel as though I’m a burden to my family.”
  • “I’m fine, focus on your own kids; I am in control and in-charge of my own life.”
  • “I can’t loose my confidence or restrict my activities at home because of my fear of falling.”

If you can relate to these statements, and you think you may require some additional assistance to maintain your independence at home, call on of our Meridian At Home advisors at 1-800-894-6885 or click on the Connect with Meridian button.
