I would like to share my families experience with Homewatch CareGivers. My dad has Ahlzheimers and requires 24 hour care as Hospice is managing his end of life. We have been so happy with the care takers as they not only work very hard to gain a relationship with my dad but also the whole family. They are engaging with my dad which can be a challenge at time as he can be aggitated and he is also hard of hearing. They will cook, clean, run out to pick up someting at the store, bring my dad a cheeseburger, get my dad a snack, a drink of juice, encourage him to do a puzzle, do a double shift when someone calls off, wheel him over to the window to watch the birds or the landcaperse that were planting trees. They will do endless laundry, dishes, change the bedding, clean the litter box, sweep the floor and on and on. We would be lost without Ebony, Sabrina, Johanna, Sara, Andrea, Rosa and Sahara. The other side of this is the people behind the scenes which is Carrie that coordinates all the care takers, sends them all messages from the Hospice nurse so there is no confusion. Carrie listens to my concerns and helps me problem solve, this can be very stressful for all especially for my mom as there are many different caregivers every week and it can be difficult to manage everyone. Carrie has eased that challenge. And finally I have to thank Tia for her communication when there is a schedule change and sending me the monthly care taker schedules. It takes a village and my family and I are eternally greatful.
Thank you Mary, Michele and Pat
