Cara Lauer works with Elderwise as part of her contributions as a member of the Momentia Seattle Stewardship Team.

Areas of focus include:

Nursing Services | 24-hour skilled care and rehabilitation services.

Social Services | Assisting patients and their families during transitional periods, providing essential information, managing requests and concerns, and helping in care planning and discharge planning.

Rehabilitation | Individualized programs to reach goals of increased independence and ability. Patient families are also encouraged to participate in therapy sessions, caregiver education, and training.

Long Term and End of Life Care | Care focusing on differing populations of individuals--many patients require several days or weeks of medical care and therapy before they can safely return home or to a lower level of care.

SYNERGY HomeCare provides the highest quality non-medical home care services for clients of all ages. SYNERGY HomeCare is a non-medical home care agency--as opposed to a "home healthcare” agency. Home care plans are customized to fit individual needs. A CARE team approach allows participation in the care of loved ones from a distance via the internet. We do not treat LGBTQ seniors any differently than any other client.

PAEP or Pacific Asian Empowerment Program was born out of a grassroots demand by Filipinos, Tongans, Hmong, Mien, Laotians, Samoan, Polynesian volunteers, and clients demanding changes from oppression and lack of understanding by larger groups and agencies that had not been culturally sensitive to their heritage and needs.

PAEP and its Senior Nutrition Congregate Meal Program addresses many important issues such as diminishing and alleviating hunger, isolation, loneliness, depression, malnutrition, obesity, inactivity, and sedentary lifestyles.  When the seniors come to the meal sites they socialize, exercise, listen to music, sing, dance, eat a healthy and tasty meal using ingredients similar to the foods they were used to eat back home.  The seniors receive good, helpful information, peer counselling, information and referral, food bank donated items.  They sometimes play bingo, watch the news and discuss issues and current events with others.  We are helping families and seniors in the Seattle, King County area to live healthier, happier and more independent lives, thus contributing to an improved community with a healthier and more productive population.
