Home Care Assistance Partners with Wish of a Lifetime to Grant One Lifelong Wish for a Special Senior

In line with the company's mission to change the way the world ages, Home Care Assistance's Wish Possible campaign is designed to foster respect for seniors by fulfilling the wish of a deserving elder.

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 06, 2014 - Home Care Assistance, a leading provider of in-home care for seniors, has partnered with Wish of a Lifetime, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering respect and appreciation for seniors by granting life-enriching wishes. Both companies are committed to changing the way that society views aging and improving the quality of life of seniors across North America. To this end, Home Care Assistance is proud to sponsor one wish for a very deserving senior. Wish of a Lifetime has already fulfilled life changing wishes for over 950 seniors across the country.

One such wish recipient was Tom, a man who had always been fascinated by cultures around the world, but was unable to travel because of his end-stage COPD. His wish was to visually "visit" various countries through postcards; he received nearly 3,000 postcards from all 50 states and more than 90 countries, which gave him the "courage to go on." A year and a half later, he is off of hospice and doing well.

If you or a loved one is eligible to apply based on the criteria below, you can submit your "Wish of a Lifetime" to Home Care Assistance by visiting http://www.HomeCareAssistance.com/wishpossible. All wish submissions must be received no later than Tuesday, November 25th, 2014 at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern.

"Because our companies' missions are so closely aligned, partnering with Wish of a Lifetime made perfect sense," said Lily Sarafan, President of Home Care Assistance. "We are very excited about this opportunity to live out our mission to change the way the world ages and give back to seniors."

In order to be considered, wish nominees must fulfill the following criteria. They must:

  •     Be a minimum age of 65
  •     Be a legal resident or citizen of the United States of America
  •     Be unable to fulfill the wish independently
  •     Be capable of experiencing the wish
  •     Not be convicted of a felony
  •     Be able to obtain approval from a doctor, if necessary

"Through partnerships with organizations and socially responsible businesses like Home Care Assistance, we are able to touch the lives of many deserving seniors," said Jillaina Wachendorf, CEO of Wish of a Lifetime. "We are grateful to have their help in changing the way our society views and values our oldest citizens."
