MOMENTS OF JOY MOMENTS OF JOY BY: ANNE WHELAN, PRESIDENT, CAREGIVERS WHEN THE time comes to arrange care for someone you love, it is often a challenging and emotional time for them and for you. The sudden onset of a critical illness or fall may leave you rushing to arrange for care so they can return home as soon as possible. In other instances, the need for some extra support develops gradually. A mobility challenge may create a need for some extra support with housekeeping and meal preparation, or a foggy memory may benefit from medication reminders. In any case, when looking for a caregiver, you want to bring someone in who fits with your family and brings a little joy everyday. The team at CareGivers is committed to providing prompt and caring service from the start. We know how important it is to build a trusted relationship, so we arrange a no-cost, at-home visit to make sure we understand your needs. We take care to get to know you, answer any questions you have, address any safety concerns in the home, and determine a care schedule that will work best. This initial visit often creates a feeling of comfort for everyone. By getting to know you better, we can begin the process of finding a caregiver who is well matched to your needs, interests, and lifestyle. Our goal is always to find a caregiver who fits in like family. We believe the most important thing when you are caring for somebody is creating moments of joy. It's finding the ways to put that twinkle in their eye, because someone who needs our help also needs to smile, to laugh, to do the things that make them happy. It's a dance in the kitchen, watching a rerun of an old western, a game of cards, a stroll down memory lane. So that’s our promise to you—to create moments of joy for the people we care for. Every single day. CareGivers is also pleased to offer clinical services, certified first aid training, and wellness clinics.
