Everyone needs a little help sometimes.
Assistance in activities of daily living is perfect for someone who simply needs a little extra help with daily activities. You don’t need a full-time nurse, but having someone by your side is priceless. If a family member has been filling this role, it can be a huge relief.

This morning, you’ll wake up, and you won’t know where you are.
A friendly person will greet you, and help you get ready for the day.
You’ll go to a dining room, and this same kind person will give you a cup of coffee. You don’t realize this is your dining room, the one you’ve eaten in, shared love and laughter in for over 20 years.

Loneliness among the elderly can lead to depression, anxiety, and higher chances of malnutrition. You may notice that cleaning and dusting go by the wayside, or perhaps they forget to eat or take their medication.
Someone who has lived a full life has stories to tell, laughter, and sweet memories to share. Having someone there to spend time with, listen to them and have meaningful conversation can make all the difference in the world.

Difficulty getting around shouldn’t prevent anyone from doing the things they want or need to do.

Caregiving can be exhausting
For many family caregivers, the challenges of caring for an elderly, chronically ill, or disabled family member are simply a part of daily life.
You’ve got your home and work life, and your caregiving life, which can seem to take over everything else. Caregiving is a demanding job, which no one is equipped to do alone.
Sometimes you need a break, or a little help beyond what you’re able to provide. Respite care provides that short-term relief for primary caregivers. It can be arranged for just an afternoon or for several days or weeks.
