An Atlanta family was exhausted caring for the needs of their elderly parents who lived alone but suffered from forms of dementia that compromised their safety. After considering other options, the family decided to employ Easy Living.
“Easy Living staff really took the time to listen to us and to figure out the best solution for preserving Mom & Dad’s independence while making sure that they are safe. “Due to dementia, they can be extremely difficult to manage, but our caregiver has worked to develop a very trusting and solid relationship with our parents.” “We feel like their kids again and not caretakers.”
An overwhelmed daughter contacted Easy Living after her father had suffered from a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and speech impaired.
“I realized after the stroke that Dad couldn’t live alone anymore and he refused the idea of a nursing facility. One agency recommended around the clock care at an hourly rate. We just couldn’t afford it. Easy Living thoroughly evaluated Dad’s condition and needs and recommended a “Live-In Caregiver” billed on a daily basis. It was a more economical and natural solution. Our caregiver really fits in with the family and helps Dad with everything from bathing to housework. She’s a lifesaver.”
An out of state family struggled to keep current on their mother’s condition while she recovered in a rehabilitation center.
“We were so worried when Mom had a prolonged hospital stay in rehab and we couldn’t be there to make sure that she was well taken care of. She sounded so lonely when I phoned her. Easy Living matched us with a terrific companion caregiver for Mom. After each visit our caregiver e-mailed us with a report detailing Mom’s condition, mood and general well being. It made us feel reassured and kept us connected. Mom appreciated the companionship so much!”
A concerned man searched for care options for his terminally ill friend. Suffering from the final stages of cancer, his friend could not care for himself but wanted to remain at home.
“My friend was terminal and our goal was to keep him comfortable in his final months. We turned to Easy Living when another agency failed to meet our expectations for consistency in caregiver. We chose two 12 hour shifts for total coverage and Easy Living managed to keep the same two caregivers on a rotating basis throughout…made things much easier. Our caregivers were so loving and compassionate during a very tough time. We still keep in touch today.”
A frustrated husband called on Easy Living to help with his wife’s care during her hospital stay.
“The hospital staff was extremely overworked and just could not respond to my wife’s needs in a timely manner. I had to return to work but did not feel comfortable leaving her alone. Easy living was so responsive and sent a great caregiver the same day. Our caregiver stayed overnight and helped my wife with her personal care tasks. As a result, I’m sure that my wife received even more attention from the hospital staff. It made all the difference in the world.”
