Individual approach in home care

[Emilia01]

I recently thought about how important it is for care for an elderly person to not just be “on a template,” but really tailored to them. My mother has diabetes, plus she doesn’t like it when someone comes to her — she immediately becomes withdrawn. We tried inviting a couple of assistants, but nothing worked, she refused to even talk. Only when we found a woman who matched her character, something shifted. I wonder if this is what that individual approach is?

I had a similar situation with my uncle. He lived in Philadelphia, and after the operation he became very capricious, did not want to see anyone. We were afraid that we would not be able to organize care at all. But then I found https://carepointpa.com//- this is a philadelphia home care agency, and they really approached him with understanding. They took into account not only his medical needs, but also his character. They found a person who communicated with him calmly, with humor. A couple of weeks later, my uncle himself invited the caregiver to visit. So an individual approach is not just a nice word, it really works, especially with the elderly.

I stumbled upon this topic by chance and it really got me hooked. I often hear from friends how hard it is to find a caregiver, especially if the person is elderly and has a difficult character. It is clear that there are no universal solutions here, and you have to try, search, and adjust. The main thing is not to lose patience and not give up after the first failure. I think such discussions are useful for everyone who is just starting to deal with this issue.
