Did You Know???

Did you know that 34 million adult Americas provide care to someone over the age of 50?  In addition to that, sixty percent of all family caregivers are working full or part time.  Caregivers selfishly dedicate themselves to caring for another and yet are often times overlooked.  This is a great time to celebrate the caregivers in your life and let them know how much you appreciate what they do.

November is National Family Caregiver Month

National Family Caregiver Month is organized annually by the National Family Caregivers Association as a time each year to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers. "This year we are encouraging people to speak up during National Family Caregivers Month," said Suzanne Mintz, NFCA president and CEO. "One of the most important attributes of being an advocate for your loved one is the willingness and the ability to speak up and keep your eye on the ultimate goal, protecting not only the health and safety of your loved ones, but your own as well."

Five Reasons Families Love In-Home Care

Is In-Home Care the right choice for your loved one?

Here are five facts to consider.

Independence
In-Home Care enables seniors to be as independent as possible and be cared for in the comfort of their own home.

Family Time
There are no visiting hours with In-Home Care, so family members can visit any time, without concerns about intruding on others.

Continuity of Care
Home care is often provided by the same nurse or team of nurses, so they always know what kind of care has been given or is needed.

Less Risk
One-on-one care reduces your loved one's exposure to infection or illness, and ensures that their needs are met quickly.

Lower Costs
In-Home Care gives you the flexibility of hiring someone for only the hours when your loved one needs help the most.
