We find ourselves in a period of history where the majority of our population is embarking on retirement. There are over 70 million baby boomers retiring at a rate of 8,000 a day. One survey shows that 90 percent of seniors want to stay in their homes as long as possible. And why wouldn’t you! Your home is where you’re comfortable. It provides familiarity and security. With home care, you’re able to remain as independent as you can be.
In the past, children could take care of their parents in every aspect. Today this poses a challenge as many households need two sets of income. This is where home care is most necessary. I provide a caring specialized service which alleviates caregivers when time is a constraint.
Home care is primarily emotional support and companionship for seniors who are generally healthy and who want to remain independent at home. However, it can also include a range of non-medical services that help make one’s life more manageable. I offer a variety of services from basic companion care to more advanced life management.
Successful home care begins and continues with open communication. Expectations, responsibilities and constant evolution and evaluation of care are crucial to happiness for all parties.
