My dad is an 84-year-old retired veteran who lives alone. After several falls and emergency room visits, my brother and I realized it was time to have someone regularly checking on him and assisting with walking and personal hygiene to help ensure his safety. While his mind remains sharp and he makes good decisions, his body has simply started showing its age. Unfortunately, my brother and I could not be with him every day. I reached out to A Place At Home in 2022 and met with the owner and RN. What stood out to me immediately was how relationship-oriented and caring they were, rather than making it feel like just another business transaction. They also helped us navigate obtaining payment for care through the VA, which was a tremendous help. We have continued using their services ever since. My dad now has a caregiver 7 days a week for 3 hours each day. I cannot fully describe the peace of mind it gives me knowing that someone is checking on him daily and assisting with his needs. Because he has caregiver support, when I spend time with my dad, I get to simply be his daughter and enjoy visiting with him rather than focusing entirely on caregiving responsibilities. His caregivers have truly gone above and beyond in providing companionship, kindness, and assistance that allow him to continue living independently in his own home. My dad has rated his last four caregivers all as “10s,” which says a great deal about the quality of care and relationships they have built with him.
