Find the Right Home Care for Your Aging Loved Ones

It can be quite a challenge to find someone both capable and trustworthy to take care of your aging loved ones who need constant assistance at home. While we might be the best caregiver for our elderly parents or grandparents, it is just not always feasible for us to look after them 24/7. There are times when we need to hire a professional. Then comes the question of where to look for quality senior home care.

My late grandma was struck by stroke 14 years ago and was thus in need of home care for the next 12 years until she passed away. My parents, my aunts and my uncles all took turns to take care of her in the first two years, during which she recovered quite a bit. But she still couldn't walk without assistance and had only one hand functioning. Everyone started to realize that it was necessary to hire an in-home caregiver on a long-term basis. The search for the right candidate turned out to be far from being easy and painless. We tried over 20 caregivers and only two of them were able to work past the one year mark. A few of them only stayed for less than a month because they did an unbearably poor job of cleaning, cooking, or communicating with my grandma and other family members. I so wish we had had access to a service platform like HomeHero back then.
