UNIQUE AND MUCH NEEDED SERVICES IN BAJA New services to ensure continued enjoyment of retirement
Serena Senior Care opened its doors in the spring of 2008 in the Rosarito Beach area of Baja California, Mexico. Their services include high quality in-home assisted living, health management, and property care.
Many retirees from the United States, Canada and other parts of the world have been enjoying their retirement in Rosarito for years. Some, here for over 20 years, find as they age they have more difficulty dealing with normal daily activities. Entering in to these later stages in life requires more attention to your health and being more proactive about taking care of yourself.
Don’t wait until it’s too late!
With the commitment to continually improve their services Serena Senior Care announced new products that undoubtedly are valuable resources to many. One of the services many people had been asked for is all inclusive assisted living facility, now a reality. Serena has available a beautiful residence exceptionally equipped ready to host up to 15 residents. In this home residents have lodging, all meals, housekeeping, personal care by trained nurses and caregivers, supervision from a Geriatrician, social activities, physical therapy, and many other services. These services are of great value, with an affordable monthly fee about 50% the cost of comparable services in California, but with the distinctive warm hospitality of Mexico. Nobody knows when the sky will fall, so just knowing that Casa Harmony is available now, or for one’s final years, brings a feeling of safety, security, and peace of mind.
Anyone interested in visiting the facility can RSVP for a tour directly at the Serena offices calling (661) 612 9090, or may go to their Open House on December 4.
Other times our loved ones need help and we become their caregivers, activities, a task that takes its toll as time goes by. In these cases family caregivers need a break. For example, Virginia Anderson lived in Rosarito for over 16 years taking care of her husband after he become ill over ten years ago. Virginia contracted a nurse from Serena Senior Care for one or two days per week giving her the opportunity to go out and do the things she enjoys, such as going to religious services and visiting with friends. “I am very pleased with the care my husband is getting when the caregiver comes to give me a day off. My husband likes the nurse very much and she seems to like him. Even though he can't speak they seem to know what each other is saying” says Virginia.
New tools to make your life better: Since its start Serena Senior Care has demonstrated a commitment to becoming a true resource and a solutions provider for retirees in the region. They organized the first Health Fair focused on foreign residents and they launched the Serena Full Assistance Card providing access to top medical services in the region and other services that give cardholders peace of mind such as road side assistance and emergency home repairs, all accessible through a 24- hour toll free number with bilingual operators.

Some people
choose to ignore these realities and don’t take any action, slowly losing the
quality of life they used to enjoy. But others take action, and decide to keep
enjoying life and not just surviving it. A good example is Peter Fowler, who
will be 85 this winter. He moved to Rosarito four years ago and was enjoying
life until had some health problems and realized he needed help. Peter hired a
caregiver, Gabriela, from Serena Senior Care and his quality of life increased.
He now enjoys his retirement again, “
