My Home Care Story

I have worked with over 125 families in the last six years and they all have a story about caring for a loved one who could no longer care for themselves.  This is mine.

My amazing Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and lived several years with the disease. She became bedridden in November of 2014. We were fortunate that the family had resources and could afford 24x7 home care. We hired from professional agencies and private nursing companies. I had opened a small business with a partner and was working many hours trying to get it off the ground. At least three times a week I would get a call from the caregiver and had to go home because either My Mom needed her meds, she wanted to get up or she had fallen. I would frequently come home late and go over to see Her only to find a caregiver head down on the kitchen table sound asleep. One night I went to say goodnight and I overheard My Mother ask the caregiver to get her something off a table in her room and she refused to do it, told my then bedridden mother to get it herself and started telling my mother that she gave her( the caregiver) too much trouble. I tapped her on the shoulder and needless to say she was very surprised to see me. This was the third agency my family hired and the last.  I left my business and went home to take care of My Mother.   About a month before She passed, We found a very small group of caregivers who were managed by a woman in her 70's named Jane Edwards. Jane had this vision for smaller care homes and I decided after Jane was diagnosed with dementia that I was going to continue this work.  I have learned so much about this industry and the caregivers and my life has changed because of it.
