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

We are grateful for the opportunities we have to impact the lives of our clients and their families.  The following is a letter we received in thanks for our service, and we wanted to share it with you.  We hope you get a picture of the level of care and hard work we give at Right at Home.

"John, I want to thank you, personally, for all you did for us.  As I have said many times, not all home care agencies are the same, and yours stands out because of your personal dedication and work ethics.   I honestly can't find the words to express the gratitude I feel for all the help over the past year.  I could go on and on, but it boils down to this: thank you - for being you, for taking seriously the lives of the elderly, and for making home care what it should be.  Fondly, Kelly."

Thank you, Kelly, for your kind words and for affirming that Right at Home is fulfilling our mission to provide quality care and improve the quality of life for the seniors we serve.
