They help most by being able to do other things in my life. My mother has dementia and I am an only child. Having someone there when I need to go shopping, go to the gym, or just have a life is helpful. it has been a relief to myself and my family.
We had a couple of issues because we need a lot of aides so we had to coordinate a lot but the quality is correlated to the quality of the individual caregivers.

I first discovered PearlCare through the suggestion of one of my close friends who had used the service for her late step mother as she reached the end of her life. She loved the staff and the convenience of the service so I decided to give it a shot with my grandmother. Three years ago my grandmother had a major stroke which left her paralyzed from the waste down and unable to speak. My mother and I decided that we could take care of her at her home since we lived near by, but we knew we were going to need some help. I contacted PearlCare’s companion care services and scheduled an interview to discuss my grandmothers needs. The person I spoke with was very friendly and helped me create a daily care plan for my grandmother.Using the plan we created, PearlCare regularly sent nurses to my grandmother’s home to aid her with eating, bathing, taking medicine and many other things. They were available 24 hours a day and offered very reasonable rates for their service. I would definitely recommend PearlCare to anyone who is struggling to take care of a loved one.

We have recently been using Community Home Health Care while our full-time aide is away. This agency, by far, is the best, and their people are good. There have been two incidences where we have had temps, each a week long. The people they have sent have been very good, but the office worker has been pretty bad. They call me all the time, keep asking the same questions, and keep making the same mistakes. They kept calling me and said that he hadn’t been paid. I told him that I haven’t been billed, and so I had to call them five times just to get the bill and the bill was three weeks late. If I could rate the office, I would give them a 1, but they have sent us two very good people and the rates are so much lower than everybody else.

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.
