How Do I Tell A Loved One That They Need A Caregiver?

Telling a loved one they need care is not an easy task. It is a common occurrence, embarrassing for the elder and sad for you, especially when the elder doesn’t want to come to terms that it is time. It is important to stress the fact that there are safety issues, especially if your loved one lives alone. Senior neglect and falling are facts of life and common occurances that can be prevented with the assistance of a Caregiver. Caregivers are trained make sure the ones you hold dear are in a safe environment. Very few seniors feel and/or admit publicly they need help.

How do I pay for Home Care?

Nearly one third of all adults in the United States are unpaid family caregivers for a loved one needing assistance, and with the expanding senior population, this number only promises to grow. Additionally, two out of five Americans will need long-term care at some point in their lives. When the cost for this care falls directly on the individual needing care or on the family, which in many cases it does, these statistics prove significant.

How do I know when to get help?

Knowing When to Get Help

For most of us independence and privacy is an important condition for a comfortable life. We each have our habits and methods of doing things, and life has a rhythm that just “fits” our personalities. But as people age and physical changes occur, we may find ourselves or loved ones dealing with those changes ineffectively. Sooner or later the question starts ringing in our heads, “When should I look for help?”

It's hard to find the right words to recommend Evergreen Choice. Caring, Thoughtful, Kind, Patient - these words are just the beginning. The caregivers at Evergreen are special people! They took good care of my father for 2+ years and I like to think of them as part of my extended family. My father passed away in April and I miss my daily talks and reviews. The caregivers are the very best you can find and I would like to give them 7 stars, but I am only allowed 5. I highly recommend them.

Amazing! Evergreen Choice has provided the best assisted living care for my family. My grandfather has finally found elderly care that fits his needs. They provide him so much support for his everyday life and never mistreat him. Thank you all for providing the care he deserves while providing him a friendship that he truly enjoys with his caregivers.

We truly went through some terrible assisted living businesses before we were able to find EvergreenChoice. Finding this company truly was a blessing as we worried that we wouldn't be able to find the best care for my grandfather at his precarious state. He just suffered a severe stroke and as a family, we just couldn't give him the care he required. Thankfully, EvergreenChoice was the first company that truly met our expectations and needs. The staff were genuinely attentive to our requests and concerns and made sure to also involve my grandfather as much as they could in determining the type of assisted living care he needed. EvergreenChoice lifted a huge burden off our shoulders and we won't be able to repay them for the great work they've done for our family.
