Temporary Care

Hattie had always been active. She went for long runs years before jogging was popular. She had even hiked part of the Appalachian Trail. And she still chased her toddler grandson around the living room whenever her daughter and son-in-law were in town. But Hattie started to have hip pain that worsened with time. Her doctor suggested a hip replacement. Hattie didn’t hesitate. However, there was no one within driving distance who was able to help Hattie with her needs during her recovery. Hattie and her daughter consulted with Right at Home, deciding to have a caregiver come to the house for the first three weeks after Hattie’s surgery. The procedure went off without a hitch and after a few weeks, Hattie was back on her feet and felt decades younger. 

While she was recovering, Right at Home provided numerous companionship and homemaking services to Hattie, including:

  • Transportation
  • Bringing in newspaper/mail
  • Companionship
  • Light housekeeping
  • Grocery shopping
  • Cooking
  • Washing dishes
  • Laundry services
  • Running errands
  • Range of motion exercises

Dear Phyllis:

Thank you so much for your assistance in providing care to our mother, B… S…, during her time at home. Our family found your organization to be very professional and compassionate and it was a pleasure getting to know everyone – Beth Ann, Sherena, Justine and of course you!

 

We appreciate you working with us to find a wonderful aide in Sherena to come to our home at 4AM! Sherena was the perfect aide for Mom – Sensitive and competent all as the same time. She possesses a special gift for helping others; she’s sincere, sweet and compassionate and of course her skills are top-notch. Our weekend aide, Justine was equally gifted and helpful, taking such good care of Mom and providing us with the support we needed as a family in caring for her as well.

 

Although our time working together was shorter that we expected, it was very comforting knowing that Mom was in very capable hands with Sherena and Justine. Thank you all very much for your support to our family during this trying time.

 

Sincerely,

 

M…..  S.. and Family
