Finding the Right HomeCare for My Mom
Are you thinking about homecare for a parent? Unsure of how to find the right agency? Read on to hear about my experience in finding the right homecare for my mom.
My name is Heather, and I’ll give you some background on what spurred me to find a caregiver for my mother. She is undergoing cancer treatment for the fourth time, and at 74 years old, she struggles to do many things on her own. I have one brother and one sister, and we each live at least two hours away from our mom. We also have families of our own. Our father passed away five years ago, so mom is living alone, causing my siblings and I to worry about her. HomeCare seemed like the perfect solution to provide mom with some support while giving us peace of mind.
After deciding that we needed to find the right homecare for my mom, the question arose: which homecare company is the best? I started by researching local homecare companies and reading their reviews. Trust and credibility were important to me when searching for the right homecare for my mom. After narrowing down the options, I set up consultations with three companies. In addition to the caregivers being insured and trustworthy, I needed clarification of services provided, as well as detailed pricing. Consultations provide that information. During one of these consultations, my mom surprised us by signing up for homecare immediately. Casey, a representative from a local company, asked my mom about her goals. When my mom mentioned wanting to go to church, having lunch with her friends, and volunteering at the senior center again, Casey assured her that a caregiver could help her achieve these goals by assisting with daily activities.
Casey’s approach sold my mom on the idea of homecare, emphasizing that it would enable her to live life on her terms. Homecare isn’t just about services; it’s about enhancing quality of life. By conserving her energy, my mom can enjoy the activities she loves. When searching for the right homecare for my mom, it was essential to me that she gets what she needs, as well as what she wants.
Finding the right homecare for my mom involved research, utilizing free consultations, and considering her goals.
