"We utilized in-home care for my father who was very ill, incontinent of bladder and bowel and demented. The caregivers were skilled and caring. They showed up on time and listened carefully to our needs. And, importantly, they were immediately available. Owner Andy M. personally did the intake interview, and wrote a very kind sympathy note when my father passed. "

"Brandon comes in 3 times a week to help with my disabled husband. He cleans him, then puts him in his medical wraps. He gives me a hand with taking out trash and vacuuming, and other tasks if I ask him. He's really kind and helpful!"

"They have a very flexible schedule. We only needed a person for one hour, twice a week while the rest of the agencies I inquired are 3 hours minimum. The caregiver is good at her job. She mostly helps my wife in preparing breakfast and checking on her medications at the same time making sure that she's taking her medications. She also helps her with some personal care and washing the dishes. My wife is very comfortable around her and she is happy to have some help around. "

"Having an outside caregiver is new for us. I'm delighted with Comfort Care services. Donna, the local provider, visited twice (for free). She's warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Then she visited again, with the caregiver, Leah, and together they interacted with my wife, with Donna leaving after awhile. I appreciated Donn's extra effort to be sure my wife and the Leah had bonded. Leah now visits 3 times/week for 2 hours, with increased hours projected in the future. I leave. She's calm and friendly, and does minor cleaning so as to not seem just to be a caregiver. She has already managed to help my wife to take a shower, which has been a problem behavior for me. My wife likes her."

"My in-laws have been using Kathryn's Care for two months now. They were the first to contact me back when I contacted them. They have 3 caregivers, 24-hour, live-in care so they do everything, laundry, food, cleaning, helping them with medications and bathing. They really seem to care about the patients. They're awesome. I would recommend them to everyone. "

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.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Eugene:

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.

I like that the workers give me a lot of help for the most part. They do light housekeeping, and that helps a lot.
