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 th

is 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.

When an aging parent needs more support, it’s natural to start thinking about needs to change. Before making a plan for them, make sure you’re making one 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.💙

⚾ A night of baseball, nachos, family time, and community!

Lifespan had a wonderful time joining Hope Project Center at the San Jose Giants’ We Care Wednesday.

Building relationships with organizations like Hope Project Center helps us stay connected to the resources available to older adults and families in our community. The stronger our community connections are, the better we can support the people who turn to us.

A big thank you to Hope Project Center for inviting us to be part of such a fun evening! 💙

We’re heading up to Ben Lomond! 🌲💙

Lifespan will be at the Senior Caregiver & Family Resource Fair on September 10, alongside local organizations and professionals who support older adults and their families.

If you’ve ever wondered what resources are available for an aging parent, how to plan ahead, or where to turn when their needs begin to change, this is a great opportunity to learn what’s available right here in our community.

More options for older adults means more support for Santa Cruz families. ❤️

Our Lifespan team recently spent time with Lisa Clarke learning about Ananta Assisted Living and the amenities and services their new community will offer.

Having trusted local resources can make navigating the next chapter of aging a little easier, and we’re excited to see another option coming to our community.

Thank you, Lisa and Corey for sharing what’s ahead. We can’t wait for Ananta’s opening in January!

They tell you they’re fine. But sometimes the little changes tell a different story.

💊 Forgetting medications frequently
🚿 Difficulty keeping up with personal hygiene
❤️ Becoming more lonely or isolated
🚶 Frequent falls or changes in mobility

These changes don’t always mean there’s an immediate crisis, but they can be signs that a little extra support could make a meaningful difference.

You don’t have to wait until something happens to start the conversation.

Having support in place early can help your parent stay safe and independent longer. And if something does change, having someone who already knows them, their routines, and their needs can make navigating what comes next a little easier.

Sometimes a 911 call isn’t only about an emergency. Sometimes it’s about not having the right support.

Brittani and April attended today’s Senior Round Table meeting at Dominican Hospital’s Education Center, where Redwood City Fire Fighter Josh Williams shared insight into the calls first responders see in the field.

He spoke about older adults calling 911 because they need help with everyday tasks, are navigating unsafe living conditions, don’t know where else to turn, or are simply lonely.

It was a powerful reminder of why support before crisis is so important.

Lifespans Care Management and Well-Being Services help older adults navigate everyday challenges, stay connected, and continue living as safely and independently as possible.

We’re grateful for the people in our community working together to support older adults. 💙

Caring for an aging family member from a distance can come with a lot of questions.

Are they doing okay? Did they make it to their appointment? Are they keeping up with groceries and medications?

A Care Manager can be your eyes and ears when you can’t be there in person. At Lifespan, our Care Managers are nurses and, in some cases, social workers, bringing professional experience and a deeper understanding of the challenges that can come with aging.

With direct communication, regular personal check ins, and help coordinating the everyday details, families can stay involved in their loved one’s care even when they live miles away.

Because being far away shouldn’t mean feeling out of the loop. ❤️

🏡 Big moves are easier with the right people in your corner!

justapril831 our Well-Being Program Coordinator and Carolyn of Every Phase Transitions recently joined a panel at Bailey Properties to chat about resources that can make downsizing and transitioning into a smaller home a little easier.

From Carolyn’s transition services to Lifespan’s Well-Being Program, there are so many ways we can support older adults before, during and after a move.

We also loved connecting with real estate consultant Seabea Ghoph and talking about how our Well-Being Program can be a great resource for real estate professionals looking to better support their older clients. 💚

Community connections like these are what it’s all about!

Ashley, Vanessa, Yvonne, and April, had the opportunity to tour the beautiful new Westmont Living community here in Santa Cruz, and they all left saying the same thing… they wanted to live there themselves! 😊

From the restaurant-style dining with a chef and rotating menu to the movie theater, activity spaces, and thoughtfully designed living options, it’s clear that every detail was created with comfort, connection, and quality of life in mind.

The team had a wonderful time getting to know the Westmont staff, connecting with other professionals who are passionate about supporting older adults and their families, and seeing firsthand what this community will offer.

Thank you for welcoming all of us and giving a sneak peek before your grand opening. We can’t wait to see Westmont blossom when you officially open your doors on August 17th.

Also a special shoutout to Bargetto Winery for keeping the mood mellow and fun!

Congratulations on this exciting new chapter! 💙

Community isn’t built in big moments.

It’s built over a cup of coffee, a conversation, and people who genuinely care about their neighbors. ☕💙

Today, team members April and Yvonne had the opportunity to attend Coffee with a Cop at Java Junction, where they connected with local law enforcement and members of our Santa Cruz community.
One of our favorite parts of the morning was sharing more about Lifespan’s Well-Being Program and how staying connected, active, and engaged can make such a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults.
A special thank you to Lt. Ben Whaley of Santa Cruz Police Department for taking the time to learn more about what we do, and to Volunteer Police Officer Jim Carraher, whose community well checks help ensure isolated older adults know someone is looking out for them.
We’re grateful to live and work in a community where so many people are committed to helping older adults age safely, independently, and with connection.

💙 That’s what community is all about.
