When my dad turned 97 years old the time became obvious that he should move in with us. My dad and I had planned for this day for years. We had ample space for him and ample financial resources and what we’d neglected to think of and plan for were the daily increases of his needs and commensurate care. Our friend, Susan, offered to help, and spent time with him, being a companion for conversation, occasional outings and some TV viewing. She would relay her observations to us and usually made some suggestions as to what he needed. She was ALWAYS spot on. Often, she knew what he would need before he needed it; she seemed like a psychic. It turned out that she had an amazing, somewhat intuitive sense and knew what was coming. My dad lived with us for 3 plus years and Susan spent more and more time with him as the time went by. It enabled us to integrate caring for my dad without any compromise or sacrifice. Susan knew what was needed, not just by my dad, but needed by all of us. By caring for my dad as she did, nobody was ever, not for a moment, neglected. Not my dad and not the rest of us. Without reservation, I would recommend Susan and anyone Susan would recommend. Simply put, if Susan was there, we were 100% certain that we all would be cared for.” — Burton, Pound Ridge, NY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/1593110648165-QFN996W6SVA85SUMO7P2/unnamed.jpg Testimonials - “Thank you for the loving care you have given to my Mom and our family. We really couldn’t have done this without you. I know that your work is more than just “a job” and we were lucky enough to have found you just when we needed it.” — Nava, New York, NY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/1595952581536-K10MSTGK6NYQTTB5VHBJ/IMG_1039.jpg Testimonials - “Susan was such a life-saver for me and my worried family: I was scheduled to come home from rehab and we had no idea how I was going to manage. She met with “my team” at the hospital and arranged for a wonderful woman to come help me. She made a very confusing process simple and she did it with so much compassion. She kept in touch and helped me work out scheduling and gave me ideas about how best my helper could support me. I feel so fortunate to have found her.” — Jane, Princeton, NJ https://www.westchesterseniorhomecare.com/about daily 0.75 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/56f0aa57-7049-4e69-96ef-c7a2e6ee68ad/AgingLifeCare_MEMBER_Logo_Spot_REGISTERED.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/60af7355-f2a3-4824-aede-6c2953fe2a99/IMG_0160.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.westchesterseniorhomecare.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/1616513244771-BP0K6N70MI71BKU34IEZ/ALCA-Member.png Contact https://www.westchesterseniorhomecare.com/for-caregivers daily 0.75 2021-02-10 https://www.westchesterseniorhomecare.com/services daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/1596554878549-THRBE95E4L3TAFX3NDGJ/AdobeStock_29972685_CaregiverMeal.jpg Services - Geriatric Care Management As an Aging Life Care Professional®, I am dedicated to making life better for the elderly, and it all starts with our talking. In your first contact with me, we will talk - a lot - and I will learn about your concerns and your parent’s (or spouse’s) challenges - plus you will get a sense of me. Then, in partnership, we will come up with a first step, and in time, a plan that enhances the quality of your loved one’s life. It will be one that is designed to create the safest level of independent living possible for them. A very important part of that plan is also that you, the family caregiver, will have greater peace of mind knowing that your parent/spouse has someone, in addition to you, who is dedicated to their well-being. An essential element of our service includes overseeing the entire care plan – being your local, professional eyes and ears to make sure that your parent is getting the best possible care. We are available 24/7 for when an unexpected need emerges. Very specifically, I can help with: Advocacy with medical and other professionals in your parent’s life so that their care is coordinated and consistent with their priorities Assistance with navigating the continuum of care as their needs change, including hiring caregivers Determining the best housing choice, including introducing the appropriate technologies and safety measures to make it possible for him or her to stay in their home Coordinating with legal and/or financial planning experts to make sure that you have everything that you and they want in place, including various advanced health care directives Household management, for example paying bills, arranging for home repairs, making sure the fridge is stocked and prescriptions filled, organizing closets, etc, Accessing additional services that may be available – both federal and state entitlements and local community programs Promoting good communication/keeping everyone informed regarding your loved one’s care and well-being Medical advocacy, including accompanying them as needed to doctor’s appointments Mediating complicated or challenging family dynamics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee78929cfc5d40e135ac43b/1596554760499-KNM2FVJKL57YNAFPG3UK/AdobeStock_99639748_CaregiverSmiling.jpg Services - Caregiver Placement If you decide you wish to hire a caregiver, we introduce you to candidates who are warm and friendly, who have had years of experience and who truly enjoy doing what they do.
