I always knew there would come a time when my mother needed "a little extra help" performing her daily activities, but when the time came, it was very stressful trying to decide what was best for her. She has a mobility problem and a few other ailments that are thankfully responding well to medication. We decided to try home health care before we thought about asking her to move into a nursing facility. We weren't sure if she would cooperate with the caregiver, but to our surprise, every time we visit she talks about how much she loves "her helpers!" I know there are many other families out there with aging loved ones who need all the support they can get, so I decided to create an informative blog all about home health care. I have learned so much and continue to learn and hope my knowledge can help you!
