I was so relieved when Right at Home was able to meet with me without delay and provided the service he needed right away.  They kept diaries of everything that occurred during each day so I had the comfort in knowing that dad was being taken care of and I could get the relief I needed to take care of so many other details.  It was very helpful that when I came to visit my father, I could focus on him.
