James is a 75-year-old retired professor who has lived in his home for the last 20 years. While James is relatively healthy for his age, he struggles with respiratory issues and congestive heart failure. He has been considering moving to a senior living community where some of his friends reside. He was never married and had no children so now he is contemplating who will be his advocate for his aging years. He is finding that it is more difficult to navigate available resources and because of advancing age, his usual support system is dwindling. 


Luckily, James' friendly personality has gained him many friends who check in with him via phone call and provide social support. However, he is worried about the medical aspects of managing his congestive heart failure and he knows his friends cannot help with this. James began looking for a local health advocate to help him navigate medical appointments, fluctuating changes in his condition, and the overall dynamic healthcare system. James knows he wants to stay out of the hospital if possible, but he wants to know how to make that happen and what home interventions would make that possible. 

Reading a Book

James feels like he has been able to manage okay so far, but he is unsure how much longer his condition will remain stable and what that effect will have on his future living choices. He is worried he will have a health incident at home and will not be able to receive adequate healthcare in a timely manner.  Due to his concerns about aging alone, James feels it would be best to have someone local with the skills to help him navigate the current situation and proactively plan for potential emergencies.
