"My parents are blessed to have 3 Caregivers work a rotational schedule 7 days a week providing excellent care in a very nurturing and understanding manner. They obviously are well trained in caring for dementia clients and perform their daily tasks in a very efficient manner. I am happy with their work in my parents’ home and will be as long as my parents stay in their home!"

"I'm perfectly and completely satisfied with the care I got from Glorious Life Home Care. At times it was above and beyond the call of duty. It was very good. The first person that came was a match and she came every day for a week. It was just a few hours a day. She did breakfast and lunch, wash clothes, made the bed, did housework and everything I needed. I would use them again. "

"Heather and her staff cared for my father during his end-stage dementia/Alzheimer's disease. I cannot think of enough positive adjectives to describe my experience working with A & A. We were able to keep my Dad in his apartment with round the clock care. This was less expensive than assisted living (which is not really round the clock, since they aren't always in the same room). Dad was in good hands, and felt more comfortable in his own surroundings, and it allowed me to be his daughter again. I am so very thankful for the care A & A provided. Everyone was professional, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable. My only regret is that I did not engage them sooner."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
The Oxford region has a network of organizations and programs to support older adults who live alone.

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.
