Tell me if this story sounds familiar:<\/p>\n

Your mom is in excellent health at age 80, 90, or rounding 100. She is fiercely independent and does just about everything on her own, from cleaning and laundry, to paying bills, cooking, and even driving. You, on the other hand, WORRY about her living alone and want to have the talk about taking the keys away. You worry she\u2019s lonely (although she\u2019d never admit it), not eating properly, forgetting to take her medication, or stuck at home because she\u2019s stopped driving. You call to check on her and drop by her home in Arlington Heights frequently to make sure she\u2019s ok. The drive is getting to be too much for you, and your other siblings live out of\u00a0state. Mom wants to stay in her Arlington Heights home and doesn\u2019t like the idea of having a stranger in the house.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, she hasn\u2019t met one of our caregivers yet<\/em>\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Hospice<\/p>\n

How a companion caregiver can improve the quality of life for the entire family?<\/h3>\n

An Assisting Hands caregiver can bring peace of mind to you, the family, by providing companion care services<\/a> to your parent.<\/p>\n

A typical schedule for companion care is around 20-40 hours\/week. The caregiver may come every day from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. or 1 p.m. \u2013 5 p.m., or can stay the full day. She can check to make sure your loved one took their medication, prepare a meal or prep one for later, and take your mom out for an errand. Our companion caregivers take their clients to the grocery store or to get haircut, to their doctor\u2019s appointment or out for visit the grandkids. They go the bank, post office, church, and out to buy holiday cards for the entire family.\u00a0 They may drop your mom off with a group of friends to play bridge or Maj Jong and drive them home when the game is finished. \u00a0All these activities improve the quality of life for the entire family. With a caregiver\u2019s assistance, there is less worry about how mom or dad will get to their appointments and more focus on getting them out and about to enjoy their lives!<\/p>\n

A companion caregiver really becomes like a new \u201cfriend\u201d or \u201cbuddy.\u201d They are trained not to treat the elderly client as a \u201cpatient,\u201d but rather as a client who we work for directly, and who can make the schedule and plan days directly with him.<\/p>\n

Why Choose Assisting Hands Companion Care?<\/h3>\n

At Assisting Hands Home care we utilize an online home care program that allows families to view caregiver notes throughout the week.\u00a0 Each family member can receive a login to the \u201cFamily Room Portal.\u201d Here, the caregiver\u2019s notes from the day are visible to everyone who has a login ID. Your care manager in the office can instruct caregivers to include specific notes about medication or errands, or even upload pictures to the portal on our HIPAA compliant site.\u00a0 Seeing mom out for her haircut or knowing that a trusted caregiver has laid eyes on her throughout the week will give you peace of mind while you\u2019re far away. When you come to visit mom, it doesn\u2019t have to be a rushed day or errands and doctor\u2019s appointments, but you can relax and take her out to her favorite spot for lunch.<\/p>\n

Let one of our caregivers become part of your family and help improve your loved one\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n
