Senior Concierge Services
Aging in Place
There’s no place like home. Your favorite chair, the space you are accustomed to, the perfect temperature, the smells, and the familiarity and comfort of staying in your own home. Studies show that 90% of older adults wish to remain in their homes as they age. Keystone's Senior Concierge Services can provide the extra support needed to age in place gracefully, providing experienced property management services and compassionate companion care to cover a variety of areas where extra help could be needed, supported by 24/7 on-call assistance and a network of dependable contractors.
Especially for seniors who only need occasional help, aging in place is a wonderful way to maintain independence and freedom, letting you choose who will help and how they will help. Keystone preserves safety and facilitates family communication, and its role can readily be modified as needs change.
Let's see what we can accomplish together:
Property management
Keystone offers comprehensive oversight and efficient direction of the property's daily operations, catering to your needs and removing the hassle of ownership responsibilities as they become too burdensome. Please have a look at the pages for estate management for a complete list of services that can be provided.
Home Watch services
A security liaison furnishes seniors with peace of mind during brief or extended stays away from home - or continuously while in residence by monitoring the property, staff, and pets.
Complete a home safety check
A home safety check will be conducted to reduce the risk of an accident or a fall. Several simple, low-cost modifications can be implemented quickly to ensure the home is safe and easy to navigate.
Meals, Cleaning, and Transportation
It is common to require some help with transportation for shopping, getting to and from appointments, preparing nutritious meals, or keeping up with household chores to live independently. Keystone can provide whatever support is needed with rides, meals, cleaning, etc.
Meals: Home-delivered meal service is available to clients in the Santa Barbara area, shopping and delivering groceries or prepared food.
Cleaning: Our service providers offer an excellent cleaning service using environmentally friendly products.
Transportation: Part of staying healthy and remaining independent is making sure that you are able to get around in your community and accomplish critical errands; oneself is only one of many options available. Your concierge can look into what public transportation is available to you, talk to friends and family about how they may be able to help with rides, and familiarize you with local ride-sharing services or provide transportation herself if that is your desire.
Befriend technology
Modern technology makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and loved ones from all over the globe. Your concierge can help you get acquainted with your smartphone or digital tablet’s messaging and video screen-sharing programs to help keep you connected from the comfort of your living room. You’ll also discover what’s happening in your community and access helpful services such as grocery delivery and taxi services.

Senior Transition - Downsizing and Clean-out Services - Moving
Although it is desirable for a senior to age in place for as long as he/she feels comfortable there, when the time comes for a more sheltered choice, the move facilitator can help seniors, caregivers, and their loved ones transition from current living environments to senior communities, assisted living, nursing homes or retirement living. Mindful that a move for a senior citizen has many financial and emotional considerations, especially since a senior’s home often represents a lifetime of hard work and fond memories, Keystone can organize everything and provide a compassionate listening ear to help during this transition.
How Keystone's Process Works
The Director begins by meeting personally with the client. This allows the opportunity to establish trust and learn about the individual requirements of the senior(s) to create a program of assistance that will be a comfortable fit. Each client has unique goals and circumstances, for which solutions must be customized since some need a great deal of assistance while others need very little. The client is to provide hands-on delivery of services and oversight of any additional help, allowing the senior(s) to develop a comfortable working relationship with one person.
The plan for each senior is reviewed regularly to ensure that it is still appropriate and modified as needed since physical and mental capacities may change over time.
