Giving the Elderly a Sense of Belonging – At Home
By Tina Steck
December 11, 2008
Frances Price is 91 years old and lives at home in Palos Verdes with her husband Carl, who is 96 years old. They have lived in their California ranch house for 50 years and have no plans to move. They feel strongly
that they belong at home, and their desire to keep it that way is nurtured and sustained by Adia LLC, an in-home care business that has been serving the elderly and post-surgery clients in the Beach Cities and Palos Verdes Peninsula since 2005.
Adia’s trained caregivers, known as Personal Care Assistants, have been a regular part of the Prices’ daily life at home for about two years. “We’ve become attached to them,” said Mrs. Price. “They are very caring, and we’ve become friends,” she added, gesturing toward Dinorah Flores and Theresa Chavez, two of Adia’s Personal Care Assistants, or PCAs, who provide services to the Price couple on a regular basis as part of a 24/7 team of caregivers.

Adia
by Jennifer Evans
Nick Arquette wasn’t comfortable with the kind of care his grandmother received after she returned home from hip surgery. Frustrated at the lack of companionship and sensitivity displayed for the woman he loved dearly, Arquette realized that there was a lack of quality in the resources available for older individuals. It was at the same time that his friend Pamela Penson, who was working for a company that provided at-home services to senior citizens, was not satisfied with the restrictions of her company.

Mentoring youth, helping seniors and acting may seem like unrelated activities, but for Nick Arquette, they all work well together. Redondo Beach resident Arquette, cousin of actors Patricia and David Arquette, founded Walk with Sally, a nonprofit organization that mentors children
whose parents have cancer. Nick then partnered with WWS’s CEO Pamela Penson to start Adia, a for-profit home health care company. At the same time, he manages to find time to audition for roles on the silver screen, television and stage.
