The benefits of engagement services as told by family members:
“We’re so grateful for the many engagement services offered by Barlowe & Associates. My husband is able to engage with a familiar face each week to do the things he loves, like playing games of chess, exchanging trivia and jokes, and getting outside to enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of nature that Florida has to offer. This care and attention definitely helps to keep my husband cheerful and active .”
“The engagement specialist brings an in-person touch to my mom’s life that I am unable to provide from another state. …He regularly takes her outside to enjoy fresh air and view the wildlife behind the facility. They also attend cooking classes and other special events together which enlivens her days.”
