   For one couple renewing their vows meant not only aspiring to change their lives as a couple but making their lives more altruistic.   Michael and Victoria Abend, of Wayland, decided that they needed to do something different with their lives. Michael wasn’t happy with his consulting business and Victoria was tired of being a stay-at –home mom.   When the opportunity came for them to open an Extended Family in Wayland, they leapt at the chance.    "We heard about (Extended Family) in February through an old college roommate of mine and we were committed," Michael said. "It’s a business that makes us feel good about what we’re doing."   They opened a business that services Wayland, Wellesley, Weston, Natick, Framingham, Lincoln and Sudbury and provides  an alternative to putting loved ones in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.   "Our mission is to help the elderly age in a place with a healthy environment," he said. "We do anything they need to help them stay in their homes."   The staff includes registered nurses and handymen, who have their cell-phones on them at all times in case there is an emergency in the house.   "We’re essentially the distant nephew," Michael said laughing. "Or their daughters," Victoria added.   According to a seminar that the couple attended regarding elderly falls, in the year 2050, 5 percent of the population will be over the age of 85.  Increasing the risks of falls for those over 80 are ...

Agencies serving Bay State elders are predicting a “no heat, no eat” winter for many senior citizens, a problem that could expand for the thousands of caregivers who, in many cases, are supporting their own families on minimum-wage paychecks. Joan Butler, executive director of Minuteman Senior Services in Lexington, said the organization is providing support to more than 1,600 low-income homebound Seniors who could find themselves without heat or food this winter, thanks largely to rising fuel and food costs. All told, Butler said, Minuteman serves more than 17,000 Seniors in 16 communities. The agency is part of Mass Home Care, a statewide trade association of nonprofit organizations providing home- and community-based services for the elderly, while also offering caregiver support. “Our mission is to help people age in place and remain independent where they want to be, which is usually in their homes,” she said. “We also support caregivers in supporting their roles and managing their responsibilities and daily lives.” Located in Burlington, Minuteman provides innovative and high quality solutions to eldercare issues for residents in: Acton, Arlington, Bedford, Boxborough, Burlington, Carlisle, Concord, Harvard, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Maynard, Stow, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn. To be eligible for the various programs offered, Seniors need to be low-income and have some type of disability or require assistance in ma ...
