Thinking About Home Care: Start Now Before it Becomes a Rushed Decision

Have you noticed that a loved one or your parents are finding it more taxing to complete household chores? Do you find yourself worrying more often about their safety while you aren’t there? Maybe you’ve considered reaching out for help but you don’t want to offend or upset them. It may seem like there’s time. Maybe you’ll approach the subject in a few months. You tell yourself that after the holiday’s things will slow down and the timing will be better. Next thing you know, an accident happens and you need more care for your loved one than you ever expected, except there’s no grace period, no easing into the process- all of a sudden, the time is here and the need is immediate. You’re worried, stressed and scrambling to find an agency who can take you on last minute.

We see these situations on a weekly basis, and we understand and we sympathize. Kore Cares will do everything we can to assess your needs and find the care you need no matter how last minute it may be.
