One day we are going a million miles a minute with our day-to-day activities. Family, career, school, community and each week wraps around into another week, and then something happens that throws your schedule into a tailspin. Your priorities are immediately changed; sometimes for a short while, and sometimes forever.

Change can be a very scary thing. Sometimes we try to prepare ourselves but we can never really know what will really be involved. We are never prepared for the learning experience we will receive in such a short time and the roller-coaster emotions we will go through. I know. I've been there.

I thought I would learn it all and balance my life with my Mom's sudden illness. I could handle it. Of course, I knew it would be hard, but she had always been there for me, and it was the right thing to do. But, the illness was an education that distracted me from spending quality time with my Mom. I had to pick up prescriptions, arrange Doctors appointments, take care of her pets, and so on and so forth. I hated it when I overheard her say to the Doctor "I don't want my daughter to have to these things for me. I don't want to get to the point where my daughter has to help me into the shower, or go to the bathroom." What was the alternative? I wanted her to live! I wanted her to be comfortable. Well, my attitude was "we'd get through it together." I didn't know there was help out there.

Help with just hygiene or errands would have afforded me more time to talk to my Mom. Really find out about her, and who she was as a girl and who she was as a woman. I was too busy "helping" her. My Mom is gone now.

We started this company to help people with their decisions and to help people spend more quality time with their loved ones. To manage the mundane chores that have to be done, but create anxiety for the family Caregiver and the person they are trying to care for.

My daughter and I worked in this industry and we were really concerned about the lack of care for the Caregiver as well. It all seemed so "production-line", and quality personality matches were not the priority. A lot of jobs got filled alphabetically based on the schedule they could work. This wasn't good for the Client or the Caregiver. We are building a more personal service-oriented company. We pay the Caregivers based on credentials and the level of care they provide. The Caregivers' well-being is as important to us as the Client at home. We offer a supportive environment. It is amazing to watch a Caregiver transform the attitude of someone who has lost some of their independence and freedom. We do several monthly assessments with the Client and the Caregiver so we know we are meeting everyone's expectations.
