The Importance of Choosing the Best Senior Housing Option

The Importance of Choosing the Best Senior Housing Option

"Health Forum," a production of PTGTV, will produce a special series on assisted living options.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 23, 2006

Americans have terrible ambivalence about aging: We want seniors to have loving care and family around them, but we don’t always have the time, patience or resources to provide the loving care. Many years ago, aging parents moved in with family when they could no longer function on their own since there were no other options available. But in today’s world, there are many different senior housing options available for those who might need them, including many who do not have relatives nearby.

In recent years, assisted living has become a concept to offer the best of both worlds: independent living with 24-hour access to staff, as people live longer and healthier lives, but may need assistance with problems caused by aging. People can find a community that offers the comforts of home and the security of knowing someone is caring for a loved one 24 hours a day.

"Health Forum," a production of PTGTV, a leading producer of educational programming for the modern market, recognizes the urgency of this subject, and will produce a special series on “The Importance of Choosing the Best Senior Housing Option.” 

Selecting the best program or facility is an important, personal, and often difficult decision. Sometimes the selection is the result of deliberate planning, but often the decision happens during a crisis situation. When choosing a facility or program, it is important to decide on the location and types of services that will be needed by the prospective individual. Locating a facility to provide these services can require time and effort. The search for necessary information is certainly worthwhile and will assist you in making an informed decision.

The show will feature those organizations on the cutting edge in providing solutions. Each segment will be the subject of a five-to-seven minute segment written in feature-story format and presented in a visually exciting way.

“The relevance of this series cannot be overstated,“ said Chuck Reich, Creative Director for PTGTV.. “There is nothing more important than providing our viewers solutions that will impact this generation. We are excited to present these options to our TV audience, the viewers of "Health Forum."

In addition to the broadcast exposure of network airings—nationally on Oxygen TV and WE – Women’s Entertainment, and regionally on PAX-TV—PTGTV offers unique media publicity options to enhance the series.
