There are many different elder care options available today. One option that you may want to consider is elderly home care. It allows parents or a loved one to remain at home, in familiar surroundings, and still get the assistance that they need. Often, caregivers include family, friends, or caregiving professionals that provide a wide range of senior home care services. This can be an ideal situation if you are caring for elderly parents or overseeing their care, where their primary needs are non-medical care.
In this type of setting, care can range from someone stopping in periodically, to a live-in caregiver that provides 24 hour care. Some examples of non-medical elderly home care may include: preparing meals or help with feeding, assistance with bathing and grooming, light housekeeping, assisting with medication, grocery shopping, bill paying or running errands.
In our particular caregiving situation, family members have teamed up to provide much of the home care for my mother-in-law, who has advanced Alzheimer’s disease. However, at times, we have enlisted the help of friends, our church family, and companies specializing in elderly home care services to provide for her needs. Even if your family is well equipped for caregiving, its important to be familiar with some of the senior home care services that are available today. Taking advantage of these services may give you the occasional day off or vacation that you need, without putting undo stress on your family or friends.
Even if you have other family members or friends that assist you in caring for a loved one, there are times when they are not available. At these times, being familiar with companies or caregivers that specialize in providing elderly home care can be important. Each local area normally has companies that offer a wide range of elderly assistance services. Normally, you can find these online by searching for the word “caregivers.” However, here are some nationwide, senior care service providers, that you may want to consider.
Visiting Angels – Specializes in non-medical home care services for the elderly, allowing them to maintain as much independence as possible in familiar surroundings. They have over 300 offices across the country. Their website is: www.visitingangels.com.
Cargiver Needed – Search by state for caregivers, nurses, and sitters. They offer both non-medical and medical care for the elderly and for children. Both live in and live out caregiving options are available. Their website is: www.caregiverneeded.com.
Right at Home – They can provide home health care from as little as a few hours to 24-hours a day. Services include: caring companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, bathing assistance, respite for family caregivers, and much more. Their website is: www.rightathome.net.
These are just a few of the many resources that are available for today’s caregivers. Over the years we have been blessed to have family members and close friends that have teamed up with us to care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. However, utilizing other caregiver resources has given us much needed breaks, while still providing excellent care.

Are you cheating?
Unless your mother does not have the mental capacity to make decisions regarding your father and herself, there is little you can do. You would have to prove her unable to manage herself and him and their legal affairs in a court of law.
Whoever told you that you can take a class to be certified is certifiably nuts.
Barton Home Care – by far one of the best in-home care companies in the Denver metro area.
Very compelling video Tom. Despite the challenge of “capturing” the care and concern you show your clients in a 2 minute video – you managed to do it. Impressive – just like your service. Jinah Kim
Excellent overview of the service provided and the integrity of this company. I would definitely trust my parents’ care to Barton Home Care.
i think it is a sign that suicide bombers are angry, vengeful, desperate people, but people nevertheless. and people don't think rationally and critically when they are angry. they seek people who will agree with them, and offer them a worldview where their feelings are justified. we all do this in much smaller scale, but here we see how the same trait magnified to the extreme causes people to do terrible things. i think theology and afterlife promises by extremists validate and reinforce their anger and desire for revenge, but does not cause it in the first place – otherwise, there would be thousands and thousands of them by now.
i think it is so important for the ordinary people in israel and palestine to see each other, talk to each other and share their fears and difficulties. peace groups are scattered and small, but invariably tell the same story of people from opposing sides brought together by sympathy because they finally recognise each other as people, and recognise what the other has gone through as a people.
I found this video to be very helpful and I was able to get much more information about Barton Home Care by exploring its excellent website.
I think Tom Barton has an excellent gift of understanding seniors – their needs and wants and then doing a great match with a companion. I would trust my parents to Barton Home Care and would recommend them to any of my friends. Their lives will be fullfilled in many ways to be able to stay in their own homes and have a routine that they like. We all prefer our own homes over the alternatives.
