Caring for someone with a disability

Taking care of someone with a disability can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Those young and old with a disability rely on the support of friends and family. Feeling overwhelmed or stressed is normal, being a caregiver is a hard job! If you do not take care of yourself, you won’t be able to help anyone else. There are plenty of people out there in your situation and there are a lot of services and support to help you as the caregiver.

Services to help those with disabilities and their caregivers
At Guardian Angels HomeCare we offer many services to assist in caring for your disabled loved one.

• Companion Care is a great option to provide your loved one with safety oversight, assisting with errands, accompaniment to functions like weddings, and overall human interaction to avoid any loneliness.
• Homemaker Services are a way to assist your loved one with daily tasks like cleaning, laundry and other tasks around the home.
• Personal Care Services are available to help your loved one with their care needs including: bathing, dressing, prescription reminders and general safety oversight.
• Respite Care gives you that short or long break you need, while still assuring your loved one has the proper care they need.

If you can’t be there with your loved one all the time, or just need a break, give us a call to see how we can assist you and your loved one.

 

“My husband has Parkinsons, despite having 9 grown children, none were around to help me. I am thankful for the patience and kindness shown to me by the entire staff at Guardian Angels. Both Barbara and Alesia are wonderful aides, I couldn't have kept Bob at home without them. They really are Guardian Angels!”
