While companion care at home services are meant to help your mom, they can also help you. Start the New Year with less stress. Here are five ways this home care service makes your life a little easier.

You’re Not Your Mom’s Only Friend

Your mom’s social circle has dwindled over the years. When you stop by, it’s the only socialization your mom gets. You’re tired of being the only friend she has, as you don’t have enough time to be around as much as she wants.

With caregivers stopping by, your mom has caregivers for friends. It expands her social circle.

Someone Else Handles Less Appealing Tasks

While you’re happy taking your mom to her appointments, you don’t like taking her shopping. You could have a caregiver take her to the store instead and help her purchase the items on her list.

Housework is annoying. You already have your own home to clean and organize, so the last thing you want to do on the weekend is clean and organize your mom’s home. Have a caregiver do it.

You Can Take Breaks

When you have a caregiver with your mom, you can take breaks. She has the help she needs while you take a vacation, go for a walk, or head to the office for a meeting. You can attend a business meeting and not have to worry about your mom being alone.

If you have children or a spouse or partner, caregivers can spend time with your family. Your mom’s needs may be too time-consuming to have a family day at the beach or a lazy movie day at home. Your mom is not alone when you want to stay at home for a change.

You Have Peace of Mind

When you’re at work or with your kids, you spend a lot of time worrying about your mom being alone. A caregiver is with her, so you no longer have to worry. She has a caregiver there to keep her company and help her with daily tasks.

Errands Aren’t Interrupting Your Work Schedule

You work full-time and help your mom out before you go home. You cook dinner, make sure she has what she needs, and remind her to take her pills. But, it’s too late to run some of the errands she needs.

You often rearrange your schedule for a half-day, so that you can take your mom to her pharmacist for a refill and pick up her packages at the post office. She has several stops to make for the items she needs to buy. You’re tired of using up personal time or sick days to take your mom shopping.

As a former hospital administrator, I launched Aviva with the goal of having a more focused, direct impact on the delivery of care than I could ever accomplish within a hospital setting. For me, the joy of running an organization like Aviva In-Home Care is having the ability to positively improve the lives of individuals needing customized care. As a passionate Bay Area resident, I know that many local seniors can benefit from new approaches to in-home care, that will bring them more connection to the community, and provide families with a greater sense of comfort that their loved one is indeed matched with an ideal caregiver.
