Home Instead - Riverside, CA

We have mom with Home Instead in Riverside. I prefer Richard, the new owner. He's been the owner for a couple of months now. He has really helped my mother. She has now memory issues and it's very hard to move through and to live your best life. We've had these caregivers since the beginning, and they're just wonderful gals. We really appreciate their help and Richard's help also. I feel that Mom's more comfortable, so I'm more comfortable. A lot of this I feel is directly because of Rich being willing to go the extra mile to help another human being. We need more of this type of individual and not only individuals, but companies. We're working towards more hours, but we're moving slowly. We have four hours on Mondays, nine hours on Tuesdays, 11:30 to 5:30 on Wednesdays, 1:00 to 5:00 on Thursdays, and Fridays 11:30 to 5:30. Home instead has been there for my mom and I and to us, that's everything. They help with putting on their shoes and socks and bathing. Mom can do her own bathing up to a point. She has a hard time with her feet and her legs, so they help with that. If she has a doctor's appointment, they go with me and help me with the rollator. They help with light housekeeping, cooking, and washing of clothes. They do pretty much a lot. Just the ability to sit down and talk with another individual about their lives and about what was important to them, about anything and everything, just the person to confide in. It's been very hot here in California, so we have to find other ways of walking, like going to the mall, so she gets some exercise. She also likes to see other things than the four walls in the house. She has a park directly across the street from the house that they usually take her when they can.

My mom required care during two phases of the aging process. First when she was mentally and physically well but slowing down and requiring help with ambulating. Secondly when she was placed under hospice care. The care worker developed a bond with my mom which brought her comfort. Gratefully her care worker would gently cajole her into short trips out when she saw my mom becoming sad. When hospice care was necessary the care worker circle expanded. Not only was my mom provided with assistance and comfort but my brother and I were provided with assistance and comfort as well. During both phases we found the care givers to be dependable and supportive assisting as we required. We are very appreciative to Home Instead for the assistance and comfort provided to our family.

Having a caregiver for part of the day helps me feel comfortable about working and gives my dad's girlfriend time for herself.
