Who does AEC help best?
AEC helps seniors and others with disabling conditions with the support they need to remain at home, rather than relocate to an institutional setting. AEC clients are of all ages, and can include seniors with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Congestive Heart Failure, Cancer, or nagging problems with impaired eyesight or hearing, memory loss, difficulty bathing and dressing due to arthritis, or other chronic illnesses and conditions. Many clients have more than one condition, which can make the simplest tasks of daily living difficult. AEC provides the support clients need to feel safe, to help with tasks that clients may no longer be able to do, so they can spend their time doing things they want to dospending time with friends and family, reading a good book, or other recreational activities. AEC also helps family caregivers with support and respite, relieving them of some responsibilities so they, too, can spend more quality time with their loved ones. Fami
