The concept of Angel
Advocates was born from the personal experiences of owner Jan
Franklin. It was so frustrating to constantly see families who had
loved ones in a care facility struggle with the lack of available
resources to help them with the added physical and emotional
burdens. While there were numerous businesses offering services
for in-home care, there was a substantial need for services to
help families shoulder the burdens of having a loved one already
in, or transitioning to, a care facility. (Care facility
definition includes assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and
adult foster care homes).
We know from
experience how emotional and stressful it is for families to
juggle the demands of having a loved one in a care facility while
trying to maintain an already full life of their own. The added
stress often decreases the quality of health, life, and
relationships of all concerned. Additionally, pre-existing
emotional issues often surface. Frustration, fears, and guilt come
out actually as anger, impatience, and judgment. How incredibly
sad it would be for loved ones to spend their last years
communicating with their family in this way. How incredibly sad it
would be for the family to spend those last years feeling
overwhelmed, guilty, and resentful of the added burdens.
Angel Advocates is committed to providing safe, dependable and
high quality services to these families. With heartfelt
determination and unique qualifications, Jan brings added value to
her customers. She is a former
bank executive, trainer, seminar
leader, business owner, and published writer. She is a trained and
certified Child and Victims Advocate, having served many volunteer
hours assisting families and children with trauma situations. A
graduate of the Grief Recovery Institute, Jan is also a certified
Grief Recovery Specialist. We tend to think about grief in
relationship to death, but grief is really all about loss--loss of
home, loss of familiar routines, loss of independence, loss of a
parent/child relationship that becomes role reversal. Jan’s
training in this area has enhanced her ability to ensure that the
emotional needs of aging loved ones and their families are
considered along with all of the “to do” needs.
Our mission statement is simple:
We are humble and passionate about our commitment to help shoulder
the burdens of families who have loved ones in a care facility.
We are currently available in three counties located in Washington
State: Kitsap, Pierce and King counties. However, if you are
outside this area, we would still appreciate hearing from you.
This will help us determine growth potential in areas where Angel
Advocates could best serve new communities.
