"Community Support Health Services was a lifesaver for our family. Our step-father was released from a rehabilitation center much faster than expected and we didn't have anyone to help him at home. Rose responded quickly to our inquiry and worked overtime to secure a caregiver to help him out and meet us in person, within days. She was very caring, considerate, and always accommodating. The price was reasonable and the care we received from Lola was good. Rose and her staff provided us with the peace you desire to have when it comes to leaving your loved ones in the care of others. They prepare meals, assist with laundry, medication administration, and checking vitals. We would highly recommend Community Support Health Services for the care of your loved one!"

"Patience is the assigned & daily maintenance provider for my husband who has dementia & limited mobility. After being instructed on what needed to be done, she went over & beyond those instructions in the following ways:: converses with him in a friendly but positive & constructive way; bathes him thoroughly from head to toe in a soothing manner paying special attention to areas of soreness; & grooms him meticulously from brushing his hair & teeth to shaving him & applying his favorite aftershave. She even makes sure his nails are cleaned & trimmed. Previous providers have not taken that imitative approach unless specifically told to do so. She also interacts with PT & OT by giving her input, assistance & questioning how she can best serve on days when they are not scheduled. Overall, she has been the perfect companion for my husband & he looks forward to her daily visits with a smile."

"Working with Susan & Sam to find the right care for my mother has been made easy by their kind and personalized attention. They are easy to communicate with and very responsive. I love how they don’t panic when a problem arises. They simply share the information and take care of it. They bring no drama-just professionalism. The caregivers they have provided all have different personalities but all have been qualified, kind and reliable. We have used this agency for about 10 months now for both in home and supplemental coverage in an Assisted Living situation. In both cases, the care has been very good! If you want personal service from caring people, look no further!"

"Art and his team were wonderful to our family during the period of time they supported my husband. If we had a question Art was available 24 hours a day to respond. The care givers, who bathed and attended to Jim, were gentle, yet thorough, in all aspects of his care. Not only, did they take care of Jim, but they also helped me with cooking, laundry and other aspects of my daily routine. I can't praise Interim enough for the comprehensive care they provided. In the later stages of Jim's illness Haja and the other caregivers worked well with the Hospice nurse who came in to our home. We very highly recommend Interim to anyone needing caregiving services."

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
