• “I am getting along so much better with my In-Home Aide helping me to get myself ready for the day. Before I started having someone to help, it was taking such a long time to get my bath and get dressed. I get tired very easily because of some breathing problems.”

• “My arthritic knees have limited my ability to stand for long periods. My hands and arms also hurt when I’m trying to do basic chores around the house. Having my In-Home Aide assist me is worth more to me than I can describe. I was having trouble cooking for myself and was afraid to get in the tub when I was alone at home…now that’s not a problem anymore.”

• “I’m almost a hundred years old and there are still some things I can do for myself, however I don’t take chances anymore because I’ve gotten weaker and don’t want to fall. My In-Home Aide is there to make sure I’m safe when I move about the house and she does things for me that I can’t do for myself.”

• “Mother just loves having her In-Home Aide come in each day! They have a good rapport and have developed their own daily routine. I try not to bother them when they are together because the In-Home Aide is able to get her to do things that I can’t get her to do. I don’t know what we would do without her!”

• “I am so happy that my family made a decision to have an In-Home Aide assist my Dad. It was getting more difficult for my Mother to get him ready for the day. His Doctor told us what we could expect when he was diagnosed with progressive memory loss 3 years ago. The In-Home Aide has the patience and training to keep my Dad focused. My Mother also gets a chance to get out and have some time for herself while the In-Home Aide is there assisting my Dad.”

• “Knowing that someone is going to be there for my Mom each morning has been such a blessing. It was especially helpful on the day that the In-Home Aide arrived and found that Mother was not able to open the door…she had fallen that morning on her way to the bathroom. The In-Home Aide called me immediately and I was there within a few minutes to open the door. We called EMS to make sure she was not injured. Had it not been for the In-Home Aide’s regularly scheduled visit, it may have been several hours longer before my sister and I would have discovered that something was wrong. This incident also prompted us to get an "Emergency Response button" to get her to do things that I can’t get her to do. I don’t know what we would do without her!”

• “It was hard for me to admit that I needed help. I have always been so independent and did not think there was anyone that I could feel comfortable enough with to help we with personal things. I have been very pleased to have my In-Home Aide. We work so well together and I’m so comfortable with her. I’m so glad I made the decision to get the help I need!”
