FLORHAM PARK — Kristen Jankowski, the creator of OneCare Harmony Home Health Care, led a presentation on how seniors can remain in their homes as they age during the Florham Park Rotary meeting on Friday, September 13, at the Florham Park Diner.
Jankowski shared tips and strategies for seniors to maintain self-sufficiency and live sustainably at home as they age. She also provided information on the role of home health aides in supporting elderly individuals in their day-to-day lives. Joining her in the presentation was Lisa Berry Burke, a certified patient advocate with 20 years of experience guiding seniors through the complexities of working with doctors.
Together, Jankowski and Burke emphasized the importance of the four “C’s” of advocacy: collaboration, connection, communication, and compassion. They explained that many seniors prefer to stay in their homes, which often requires their adult children to juggle caregiving responsibilities while raising their own families. The duo highlighted the need for seniors to remain socially active and informed about available resources, including nursing care, emotional support, and assistance with food preparation.
