| Seeing parents age can be difficult. Dealing with Alzheimer’s disease can be absolutely heartbreaking. Many people think the early symptoms of the disease are normal signs of aging, so it often goes untreated. Although there is no known cure, enabling those afflicted with this condition to remain in familiar surroundings can go a long way in easing the anxiety, pain and confusion that are so common with the disease.
Our Companions, Homemakers, and Personal Care Assistants are trained on how to communicate with people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. They also receive training in music and touch therapy, as well as successful strategies for caring for people afflicted with this disease.

| Many of our staff have training and experience to help your loved one in special circumstances. |
Hospice (end-of-life) Care |
| We bring compassion and sensitivity to those suffering from a terminal illness. Many of our caregivers have in-depth experience with hospice care. They possess a very special ability to attend to your loved one’s needs during their final days. |
Specific Disease Care |
| Many of our caregivers can drive your loved one to treatments such as dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation. They will stay with them during the treatment, pick up any additional medications prescribed and report any instructions given by medical personnel. They provide the ongoing emotional support so important during those difficult times. |
Hospital Patient Companion |
| Medical emergencies come unexpectedly. Our experience has shown that patients often are required to remain waiting for hours before being admitted to a hospital, and sometimes are released to go home without ever being admitted at all. Our caregivers can keep your loved one safe and comfortable during the admission and waiting process. If not admitted, they can drive your loved one home or keep them company until a family member or friend arrives. |
