My father looks forward to his visits with her and I know that he is in good hands. Marian has a delightful personality and takes extra time doing the things that my father enjoys. As his condition weakened, Marian has been able to care for him every step of the way. We are so glad to have her.

We just started using Shine and Care last week, and they are very kind and easy to work with. The caregiver is picking up the grocery stores on Wednesday and bringing him in and putting them up and putting out the trash containers. She is just helping in little ways like that, and the more we get use to her, the more we had her to do. I didn’t have my surgery yet, and after my surgery, she would have more work. My mother is very comfortable with the caregiver. Scheduling is going well.

I have had the GREATEST experience with One You Love Homecare. My father was hospitalized with Covid-19 last November and family members were not allowed to visit him in the hospital or skilled nursing facility. One You Love Homecare was the ONLY agency that had caregivers that would take care of a Covid-19 patient (with proper PPE of course) and given that the skilled nursing facilities were understaffed due to Covid-19, this was a godsend! The caregivers became like family and showed care and compassion to my father, so much so, that we have continued care with them in his assisted living facility, following his Covid-19 recovery. The owners, Rob and Pam, have responded immediately to any issues and are great at communicating with me. My father’s wellbeing is of the upmost importance to our family and One You Love Homecare has provided our family with confidence that he is getting the care he needs. –

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.
