Born To Age advocates personal choice and independent autonomy . We believe that each of us has the right to know about options and possibilities as we age. That’s why we publish senior care directories, offer senior information kiosks and personal referral services. Each situation is unique and there is no one answer that fits all.
Owner, YVONNE BAGINSKI, has over 30 years experience in senior advocacy. Her background includes forming a North Coast Chapter of the Gray Panthers, starting California’s first senior newspaper, writing hundreds of articles on families and caregiving and teaching workshops on end of life care, aging, caregiving and spirtuality. She is the daughter of two strongly independent, hard-headed, stubborn parents, who aren’t going to have anyone tell them what to do…and, it’s often the children of these types of parents who need the most support in caring for their beloved mother and/or father. Yvonne is also a certified teacher in completing the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatement (POLST) forms, and holds seminars throughout the Bay Area on the topic of end of life care. Knowing how difficult it can be to convince a family member that help is needed, Yvonne can also meet privately with families or one-on-one, to develop plans for individuals throughout time. She’s there to help. |
