Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis can lead to frustration, weariness and depression when a person can no longer perform simple, daily tasks with ease.

  • Meal preparation
  • Light housekeeping
  • Shopping
  • Medication reminders
  • Laundry
  • Assistance with recreational activities

We started working with Right at Home about a month ago to provide services for my mother who has Alzheimer's and to provide support to my father (her primary caregiver) six days a week. So far we have had an excellent experience. The caregivers are supportive, caring people and have given my Dad a much deserved break as well as provide knowledgeable care for my Mom. I have also been impressed with the structures and processes put in place to insure that we get consistent, reliable care. Our relationship with Right at Home is still new but we couldn't be happier.
