A Very Difficult Desision. Walking into a home, I don't think anyone can figure it out on the first meeting. Yes, you get a feeling if you like somebody or not, but are they a good caregiver? Is this a good home? When the caregiver has had a full day and finished the final cleaning and handed out the last of the days med's and the sleepy resident grabs your arm and says, "thank you, you really make this place special", it goes inside of my stomach and I can really feel their gratitude. It comes after what seems like, the least thankful, hardest days. A gift from someone who doesn't know the impact of the thank you. |

We serve the elderly housing community. Large facilities exist, Emeritus or Sunrise Assisted Living may serve more independent living seniors who prefer to live in an apartment type setting. Skilled Nursing homes are on the far opposite end of the scale and now offer mostly Rehabilitation Services, then release seniors to an assisted living facility, retirement community, or retirement home. Most seniors want to go back home. We can get you in touch with a Home Care Provider if that's your need, but there are less expensive options for the services provided. |
How to speak with your aging parent. Of course they want to stay at home. The most difficult conversation is the one you must have with your parents. They have lost their spouse, their right to drive, and now their home?!? They may have had a fall, you're noticing the house isn't as clean as mom used to keep it, or she mentions all these medications are getting confusing. There are a lot of signs it may be time to move into a more safe situation. Think about it from the other end of the scale, you would never allow your children to remain in an unsafe situation trusting they'll be okay. |
How do we meet the needs of your folks? A better quality of life for them and you. You can't do it all yourself. You have a life too. Beyond just the basics of cooking, shopping and cleaning. We go out to restaurants, once a month, drive as a group to Apple Hill, see the Christmas light on Dove Court, and go to the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival. Conveniently located near old town Fair Oaks |
Nobody expects to be "institutionalized". When you can reduce it to moving them from the house they expected to pass away in, to a home that their now living a life and not just day-to-day living alone waiting for the end. After the initial shock, there's a comfort and safety for them. I don't think it's something you can hire or even something a home strive for, you either have it or you don't. it's not something a home an fake. It comes form the heart. | Home Care is not a bad option for those who demand to stay at home. A caregiver arrives at their home with groceries. All needs are attended to; cooking meals, cleaning the home, dishes, laundry, medication management, and friendship. This can be an expensive option. |
