How Do You Bridge the Gap Between Independent and Assisted Living?
We all want to be independent and engaged citizens … it’s human nature. So, when everyday tasks begin to become challenging, how do you stay actively engaged in the life you know and love? This is where hiring a "Nabor" with Naborforce is the ideal solution. Seniors and their families agree that hiring a Nabor can be an absolutely lifesaving — and lifegiving — experience.
Who is Naborforce? What is a Nabor?
Naborforce was created from a passion to help seniors and their families reduce stress and restore joy in the aging process. Founder Paige Wilson saw that if she could connect older adults with compassionate community members as helpers, they would regain access to the things they valued, improving their quality of life.
A Nabor is not a caretaker, but rather a helper of sorts. These rigorously vetted helpers are simply “Nabors helping older neighbors,” providing the kind of light support and friendly hand a neighbor might offer. In days gone by, it was easy to ask a neighbor for help. But today’s communities are less close knit as they once were. The Naborforce platform makes it safe and simple to get that help.
A Nabor does not provide any personal care — bathing, feeding, medication management, etc. — but, instead, offers on-demand support for errands, transportation, help around the home and companionship. For seniors who aren’t ready for the assistance of licensed home care, this kind of service helps them address the challenges at hand while not feeling like a burden to family or friends. If one hour of help is all that’s needed, that’s available and the minimum required … sometimes that one hour makes all the difference in the productivity of that day. The unintended, beautiful result of a productive day is often a feeling of purpose, mental positivity and increased confidence. Naborforce helps aging seniors retain their independence and dignity, leaving them feeling more engaged and connected to the world around them.
What Kinds of Services are Offered?
Returning freedom and flexibility to both grown children and their aging parents, Nabors are able to offer (but are not limited to):
· Meal prep
· Transportation and companionship to appointments, work, classes, functions, salon and more
· Help with correspondence
· Organizing/cleaning out
· Light support with technology computer, tablet, smart phone
· Social engagement/conversation
· Help with pets
· Playing cards, games, reading aloud and assisting with hobbies
· An extra set of hands around the house and light housekeeping
Taking the Pressure Off of Families
You can’t put a price on peace of mind, and this is especially true when it comes to the safety and happiness of family. The mental, physical and emotional load associated with worrying about aging parents can be overwhelming … “Are they OK?” … “Am I doing enough?” Many adult children face these challenges while also juggling the seemingly never-ending demands of their own children and careers. And if you are a grown child who lives in a different town from your aging parent(s), the whole situation is that much more difficult to manage.
We desperately wish we could do it all, but the reality is that we can’t. It’s OK to need a little back up. In many ways, Nabors are thought of as backup sons and daughters, helping with the daily tasks and lengthy to-do lists, in turn enabling family time to be quality time. Seniors and their adult children can let go of the worry and get back to just enjoying each other’s company. 
More Than Just Help … Joy
Ask seniors about their experience with Nabors, and they will tell you that it’s as much about the fellowship as it is the help. Nabors see it as their mission to spread joy and goodwill through their service, and that mission is felt. Nabors help their clients feel joyful, comfortable and connected to the community around them. It is so important to remain active and engaged throughout one’s life, and Nabors make that easier — and more fun -- than ever. Clients enjoy the freedom and autonomy of not having to be dependent on friends and family for assistance. Instead, they gain even more friends in their Nabors, and the pleasure is mutual.
The delight in hiring a Nabor is not only felt in the engagement, but also in the joyous aging such a service facilitates. Life doesn’t have to slow down when this kind of help is available. Clients in their 80s and 90s are more than able to — and do — go into the office, attend art classes, keep up with volunteer jobs, and more with the help of their Nabors. This service is freedom. Seniors know they have much more to give this world, and they aren’t done yet!
Making An Impact on Future Generations
The real beauty of Naborforce is found in the wealth of knowledge gained by the Nabors and the reciprocity of goodwill. The visits are not only rewarding for the seniors, but for the Nabors as well. They feel that they get even more out of the experiences than the seniors do! During their visits, it allows them to slow down and feel more grounded, and they benefit from the wisdom and perspective offered to them. They all remark about the countless ways it has enriched their lives. They have been given the opportunity to experience the richness of multi-generational friendships, while they serve the “cherished new family” who brings them joy.
