Elder Care in [Your Service Area]
Shannon Carter
[Your Home Care Business] was wonderful with my mother. The caregiver’s sunny personality brightened up Mom’s day. And they were so patient with Mom’s dementia. I couldn’t have asked for more.

The hospital gave us very little notice that they were going to discharge Dad home. We weren’t ready at all. But [Your Home Care Business] jumped right in. They understood his needs following surgery which allowed my sister and I to go back to work knowing Dad was well-cared for.
Maria Fuentes
My dad was in the service. [Your Home Care Business] was able to work with the VA to help us get him Aid and Attendance benefits. Thank goodness they knew what to do. Now the VA is paying for his home care.
Strategies for better aging
Long-distance caregiving
Caring for a parent long distance brings its own challenges. With planning, organization, and frequent communication—plus a little help from technology—you can provide effective support.
The yearly “Wellness Visit”
Catching things early is big with Medicare. Every year, all Medicare enrollees are eligible for a free “Wellness Visit” with their primary care doctor. This is NOT an annual physical, so don’t use that term when making the appointment. Beyond basic vitals—height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse—there is no physical examination. If a physical exam is done, your loved one may have to foot the bill.
