The Need For Care is Increasing
Every day, all across America, families are struggling to cope. Many are raising children, working demanding jobs and trying to care for elderly parents or senior family members. That's because America is aging in record numbers.
By the year 2020, the number of seniors will equal the number of 20 to 35 year olds. Advances in medicine and healthier lifestyles will help seniors work longer and continue to lead more productive lives. But the numbers also tell another story. More and more children need to provide care and companionship for their aging parents. These family caregivers eventually run out of hours in the day, the stress becomes too great, and the balance is broken.
We’ll Be There When You Can’t Be
You call her every day … you shop for her … you take care of her repairs … you drive her to the doctor and help her with paperwork. You’d like to do more, but you’ve got your job and your own family to think about, too. And yet, you worry about your mom being home by herself so many days. You fear for her safety. You worry that she is not eating enough. You are not alone - nearly one in every four Americans is caring for an older adult… The stress can take its toll and you know this because you are starting to wear out because of the demands & worries of caring for your loved one.
We Keep Seniors Independent
Back in your father’s day, every dad was the breadwinner, the handyman, the lawn guy, the hero. He taught you how to ride your bike, throw a curveball and drive a car. But things aren’t so easy for him anymore, and you wonder how he can safely stay in his house. And doesn’t he deserve a little help after all he’s given over the years? Our Home Helper Services allow seniors to continue living in the homes they treasure, keep their familiar routines, socialize with friends and keep their sense of self-sufficiency.
We are the bridge that connects you to your loved one
You live far from your parents but take care of them from a distance. You just talked to your Mom & you noticed her memory is not as sharp as it used to be. She gets confused easily. You worry if she is eating enough or if she is taking her pills. Perhaps you just visited her & noticed that she lost a lot of weight or that she is not as well groomed as she used to be. Maybe you even thought about a nursing home or assisted living facility, but you know that her wish is to stay in her home as long as possible.
Saving Grace and Dignity
Your grandmother is a great lady. She taught you table manners, made you wash behind your ears, and taught you to have compassion for others. She always baked your favorite cookies, listened raptly to your stories from school and gave you the best birthday presents. Since her stroke, she needs help with bathing and dressing, but she’s a very modest person and doesn’t want her family helping with these highly personal tasks.
The Utmost Respect
There’s no doubt it can be awkward when children and grandchildren suddenly become the caregivers and have to assist with personal tasks that can make everyone involved uncomfortable. Having someone outside the family to help with these duties allows the senior to maintain his or her sense of dignity, and to keep the details of health issues confidential while remaining sensitive to family relationships.
