Simple Senior Solutions

Aging Advocacy at its Finest

By Linda Sutherland

​

These days, many of us find ourselves serving as caregiver for a family member…or, at least, realizing that it is time to get information on how to best care for aging parents. Sometimes we cannot tell for sure if a loved one needs help because it is not always clear. When you spend time at the person’s home, you might keep an eye out for possible trouble spots. Can your loved one still prepare meals safely? Is clutter kept under control? Do they have any trouble sorting out their daily medications? Every family has different needs. What is the first step toward finding available options for aging loved ones? The answer is simple: Call Simple Senior Solutions. They will help you identify the right living situation for your loved one’s specific and individual needs. 

The owners of Simple Senior Solutions, Hannah and Andrew Diediker, are both Nebraska natives who served in the U.S Army Reserves. They have educational backgrounds in geriatric recreational therapy and physical therapy, Andrew has a master’s degree in healthcare administration, and Hannah is a certified senior advisor. They have the expertise and experience to significantly relieve the emotional and physical challenges of aging and of finding care for aging loved ones. 

When you speak to Hannah or Andrew, it’s easy to understand why they chose this profession. They are passionate advocates for aging veterans and feel intensely about our responsibility to them. Hannah’s skill at explaining all the options for seniors is exceeded only by her empathy for families and the decisions that they are facing. 

One of the most remarkable things about Simple Senior Solutions is the fact that this service is provided at no cost to their clients (that is, the seniors and families who seek their help). This company is not a franchise. Hannah refers to it as their “local labor of love.” I can’t think of better advocates for our aging seniors!

Life transitions are challenging for all parties involved. Complicated family dynamics can easily come into play, and Hannah and Andrew are experts at navigating those dynamics. They help you start the journey with a consultation to understand your unique family situation and to determine the needs of your loved one(s). During every interaction, they strive to honor the wishes of the family and their seniors while relieving the stress of making these difficult decisions.

Hannah and Andrew are extremely well connected to the senior living options in our community. They have the network available to meet just about every situation and circumstance. They can guide you in the right direction by determining wants, needs, and benefits in order to make things easier for everyone. 

As senior advisors, Hannah and Andrew can help seniors live well no matter what living situation they choose. They can arrange to bring extra assistance into the home so that the senior may stay in their own home and live as independently and safely as possible. They can help seniors who wish to simply downsize their present living condition. And they can guide seniors who wish to transition to a senior living community but don’t know how to choose one. There are many choices for senior living in the Omaha area! The Diedikers’ job is to consider each client’s lifestyle, medical needs, and financial situation before recommending a path forward. 

Simple Senior Solutions will set up interviews and tours of different communities, but remember—they are only here to educate and advocate. You decide which facility is right for your family. The only goal that Simple Senior Solutions has is to achieve the best arrangements possible for everyone involved. 

As life would have it, sometimes there is an immediate need for assistance, when a senior finds themselves in the hospital or rehab and is unable to return to their home at present. The Diedikers are able to work alongside social workers in rehab facilities and hospitals to provide specialized guidance during the transition time. 

In their work helping seniors navigate housing options, Hannah and Andrew identified a related need in the community—the need for affordable, compassionate moving services for seniors. To meet this need, they created a moving division within their company. They offer very competitive prices for movers, and veterans receive a 10 percent discount. 

Let Simple Senior Solutions be your family’s guiding light in the sea of information and decision-making. The passion that Hannah and Andrew have for seniors and their independence is truly remarkable. If you find yourself in a situation with a loved one that requires some thoughtful decision guidance, this is who you need to call.
