π Lamar Odom Goes from NBA All-Star to Senior Care Star π: An Inspiring Grandma-Driven Journey! π
TL;DR; Lamar Odom shifts from the basketball court to senior care courts! He’s on a mission to find affordable, swanky digs for California’s seniors, all thanks to the wisdom of his 96-year-old grandma, Florence. π‘β€οΈ
When you think of Lamar Odom, NBA stardom might come to mind, right? But what about… senior living mogul? π² Hold onto your basketballs, folks! π
Odom’s dipping into the world of senior care, and it’s all in the name of love. Specifically, for his grandma, Florence. At 96, she’s been kicking it in the same Bronx apartment for 70 years. (That’s right, SEVENTY! How many things have you done consistently for 70 years? π€)
But here’s where the plot thickens. Earlier this year, Lamar hit a few snags trying to find Florence a new crib. π‘ And it made him think: If finding a home for grandma is this tough, what’s it like for other seniors? π
Enter Odom Senior Care. Lamar’s teamed up with Regency Palms Senior Living in Oxnard and Long Beach to bring luxurious, yet affordable, senior care to the spotlight. You might wonder, “Why Oxnard and Long Beach?” Why not? Every senior deserves some beach vibes, right? ππ
Now, the big shocker: Lamar’s BIG goal is to offer pre-negotiated rates in 1,000 communities by year’s end. Yep, 1,000! π± Go big or go home, right? But how’s he planning to make senior care affordable when others have tried and… not exactly succeeded? π€·ββοΈ
And did you know? This isn’t Lamar’s first philanthropic rodeo. Fresh off the success of the Odom Recovery Group that aids in sobriety, Lamar’s proving he’s more than just a ball player β he’s a game changer in real life, too. π
So, from the hardwood to the homes of seniors, Lamar Odom is taking shots in entirely new arenas. If he can score three-pointers with ease, maybe, just maybe, he can score some major points in the senior living game. πβ‘οΈπ‘
And that brings us to the ultimate question: If a former NBA star can change the game for senior living, who’s next in line to make a change? Celebs, we’re looking at you! Who’s going to step up next? π€π€π¬ππΈ
