With a recommendation from a hospital social service person, I called Interim HealthCare for assistance when my elderly parents moved into our home in late March 2008. They are 93 and 88 years old and both are in relatively good health. However, a few issues do exist. Both of them rely on a walker and moving about is often a shaky and wobbly operation. My Mom is dealing with advanced Dementia Disease.
Five days a week for four hours a day, a kind, talented and enthusiastic caregiver, provided by Interim HealthCare, comes into our home like a refreshing breath of fresh air. Interim sent this professional sweetheart to help bathe, help dress, prepare food, perform light housekeeping, do laundry and countless deeds of kindness to my dad and mom.
A registered nurse from Interim comes several times a week to monitor vitals, make evaluations, and discuss ways to enhance good health and to make suggestions regarding nutrition and exercise. My folks enjoy the pleasant conversations with the nurse and this makes her expertise very important to them.
The office staff at Interim has been more than helpful in sharing practical advice, recommending agencies to provide appropriate aid and assistance and they have been patient, friendly and professional during every phone call. Meticulous, practical and compassionate treatment has been extended to me and my family by the Interim people. All of us in this home feel truly blessed to have been directed to this health care agency. Interim HealthCare has handled my situation in a comprehensive and confidential manner. I could not be more confident and comfortable than I am in the services Interim provides. Our family has been enriched as a result of these wonderful people and I am grateful for the high quality of life my parents are experiencing thanks to Interim HealthCare.
