The Balanced Care Method™

There is no unique explanation as to why some people live so much healthier and more active years than others. There is a place where on average people live longer and healthier than any other place on Earth: Okinawa, Japan. Recently, scientists have studied this group of seniors to in order to learn why they live longer and more productive lives. Home Care Assistance Montreal has developed a proprietary and revolutionary approach to senior care based on these centenarian studies.

The Balanced Care Method™ is based on the scientific studies of the extraordinarily long-living elders in the Okinawa region of Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual in Okinawa. More importantly, people in their 70's, 80's and beyond enjoy independence and incredible good health . Excellent mental awareness, physical health, and inner calm are common among the studied elders. The Balanced Care Method™ aims to capture the lifestyle factors that go towards creating such healthy and long-lived people. Its philosophy can be summed up in two words: moderation and variety.

Components of Balanced Care Training include:
