Are you caring for an aging and/or disabled parent, spouse, family member, friend, or relative due to an illness, injury or disability? Have you ever thought back to how you became a caregiver? What is your story?
If you are not caring now, have you considered the day when you may need to care for someone? Will you be prepared to be a caregiver? In my book, Designated Caregiver, Chapter 2 - Caregiving at Home provides experiences from the live’s of other caregivers, examples to help the caregiver with Activities of Daily Living and Homemaker Task. Also provided - information on home health agencies - medical and non-medical.
I became my mother’s Designated Caregiver when she fell and became disabled. After a couple years we needed additional help, and hired a non-medical health agency about 15 hours a week. The following were some responsibilities of the agency caregiver: Prepare meals and clean-up, wash and dry clothes, light housekeeping, transportation, personal hygiene, and companionship.
Our family evaluated several agencies until we hired Senior Helpers in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you are considering hiring an agency, check them out and request references. Also ask others for recommendations.
