Cheryl and Renee were incredible working with a memory-impaired patient. They provided mom with consistent high-quality care and were knowledgeable on ways to keep mom moving safely.

We have used Nothing But Us Care for my spouse, and they’re excellent. We were very pleased with the service that we got from them. They did just about everything we asked. The caregiver who came was willing to do anything we asked, including cleaning. Even though it’s hard work for me to ask, she wanted to be busy, so she volunteered to do whatever she could to help. She also cooked, did light cleaning every day that she was here, she was always available, very friendly, and very nice. We enjoyed having her here. They’re a smaller agency, so I spoke directly to one of the owners of the company. I thought they would be very responsive to what we needed, and that turned out to be the case.

We hired First Light to care for my father in his final months. Deb and her staff cared for dad around the clock for nearly 90 days before he passed. Being an elder law attorney, I know how hard it is to get good, caring people to provide consistent, heartfelt care. The crew from First Light was amazing! I remember when I told my dad we’d be getting him caregivers–he hated the idea. 3 days before he passed, he thanked me for hiring First Light–he said they had become great friends! Can’t think of a better compliment.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
