BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT<br />
A<br />
career spent in the world of<br />
pharmaceuticals selling an<br />
Alzheimer’s medication led<br />
James R. Buscemi to open his<br />
own home health agency, Home<br />
Care Assistance, in Parkland.<br />
“That experience has led me to<br />
truly understand the disease category<br />
and the patient population,” he says.<br />
“I can utilize that experience to assist<br />
in changing the way the world ages.”<br />
The company is anything but ordinary<br />
for a nonmedical home health agency<br />
that provides elder care by the hour<br />
or round the clock. “We go above<br />
and beyond with the standard that we<br />
create for ourselves,” Buscemi says.<br />
Clients receive one-to-one cognitive<br />
stimulation as well as support with<br />
basic care and activities of daily living<br />
under the company’s new Cognitive<br />
Therapeutics Method. This activitiesbased<br />
program for older adults with<br />
memory-related conditions helps to slow<br />
cognitive decline, delay the onset of<br />
A New Approach to<br />
Elder Care<br />
dementia, build a routine to look forward<br />
to, regain a sense of pride and accomplishment,<br />
and engage with others in an<br />
enjoyable way.<br />
Clients also are guided by the company’s<br />
Balanced Care Method, which is<br />
based on studies of the extraordinarily<br />
long-lived elders in Okinawa, Japan.<br />
The training combines healthy diet,<br />
physical activity, sharp minds, social<br />
ties, and calmness and purpose.<br />
“What I like best<br />
about my business is<br />
giving a family that<br />
is potentially overwhelmed<br />
in caring<br />
for an older adult, the<br />
peace of mind they<br />
need and deserve,”<br />
Buscemi says.<br />
Home Care Assistance is located<br />
