Lifespan Care

Lifespan Care Celebrating 40 years of service! For more information on the important services Lifespan has to offer, go to its website at https://www.lifespancare.com.

Our dedicated team of professionals are committed to providing personalized support and companionship, for our aging community, in the comfort of their own homes. In the early 1980’s Becky Peters and Pam Goodman were not only caring for a handful of aging clients, they were managing their care, from finances and safety to social interactions. There wasn’t an agency in Santa Cruz County that did this kind of comprehensive, all-inclusive service, and only a few on the entire West Coast. So with a $12,000 loan and a solid plan for the future, they founded Lifespan, a comprehensive aging care management agency dedicated to providing the highest quality and most cost-effective care. Three decades later, they’re still going strong, with nearly 100 employees, including 60 health care aides and 10 personal assistants, becoming a leader and innovator in aging care service in the area.

From Resistance to Connection: A Well-Being Success Story

Some stories remind us why it matters to show up. Here’s one shared by our Well-Being Program Coordinator:

“When I first started visiting nearly three years ago, Beatrice was closed off, often rejected companionship, and sometimes told me to leave. She spent most of her time alone, not engaging in activities or with others.

Through patience, consistency, and validation of her feelings over several months, she gradually began to trust me. She started joining group activities at the senior living community, eating in the common area, and engaging socially with others. Staff have remarked on the dramatic difference in her personality. Today, she has an extended group of friends and is known for her kindness and friendliness.”
-----------------------
Stories like Beatrice’s illustrate the real impact of the Lifespan Well-Being program: helping older adults build connections and live fully engaged lives.

On Random Acts of Kindness Day, one of the most impactful things you can do is help an older adult feel seen, heard, and connected, especially when 37% of older adults report feeling lonely and 34% feel socially isolated.

Our Well-Being program brings that care and connection to life for seniors every day. Dedicated Well-Being Activity Coordinators encourage companionship, support activities they enjoy, and help families bring connection and purpose into their loved one’s life.

As we prepare to observe Presidents Day ❤️🤍💙, we pause to reflect on President John F. Kennedy’s reminder that “the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

We don’t just celebrate our senior clients, we serve them. Because the truest form of gratitude is shown through care, dignity, and respect for the lives and legacies they’ve shared.

Happy Presidents Day.
