We started Tribeca Care more than five years ago, with the somewhat idealistic goal of providing care to seniors while enriching their lives. And it has been fairly tumultuous, but exciting, in building a senior focussed platform, building a team that is steeped in the art of care. Most importantly we formed the understanding that age robs people of their vigor and strength, but never their resolve to lead independent and wholesome lives. We believed we could help with that.
We are especially happy to have developed very deep domain knowledge on caring for seniors, and finding ways to alleviate the physical and mental well-being of those who are in their 60s, 70s, and upwards. We believe that age is no bar when it comes to truly ‘living’, and we aim to focus our goals on that end.
We are approached all the time for advice, and recently, after taking yet another couple through care options for their parents, We had an ‘aha’ moment. Why can’t we put together a monthly digest of topics that can help people navigate the process of aging? This will include stuff that we believe in and are doing ourselves, or stuff that we curate to help you in understanding and dealing with that alien – yet – so – familiar concept of aging.
Here is your bi-monthly dose of senior/elder information – health, care, lifestyle, and more.
Stories worth a read
+Seven steps to becoming better carers of your aging parent long distance. Prateep Sen, co-founder of Tribeca Care discusses what bothered him most when he lived in London while his mother lived alone in Kolkata. A ready reckoner for those living away from their loved ones from someone who set up an elder care company
+ Isolation kills (more of which we will delve into in detail in later months), is at the center of the work that the entire Tribeca team is focused on. Bringing seniors out of their homes, sometimes out for a coffee at the local mall, or larger tea parties. Recently a group of seniors took a short 3-day trip to Mandarmani. Read why traveling with Tribeca is different from any other travel
+ Ageing at home or Ageing in an assisted care facility? This is a question that has vexed many a carer. There are no right or wrong answers, but only what’s right for you and your loved one.
+ Our newsletters will be published on our website so that you can access them anytime. If you have friends or family who you think may benefit by becoming better-equipped carers by accessing our information, we will request you to forward them this link through which they can get access to our newsletter.
What are we reading or watching:
+ Caring can be tough. And our experience is that there are certain people who take on more of the burden – sometimes due to their proclivity, and sometimes because there is no one else to do it. What’s eating Gilbert Grape, a movie playing on Netflix, starring a young Johnny Depp and an even younger Leonardo DiCaprio brings out the bittersweet yet tender emotions of being a carer. We recommend watching it.
Enjoy the rest of the month, and every minute you have with your parents!
And lastly, we wanted to let you know that we will not spam you in any way and will keep our information and message tight.
