Our Mission: To provide home care services that meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of our clients and their families while always remembering to treat each person as we would want to be treated ourselves: like family, with respect and dignity.
I remember thinking when I was a child how lucky I was because my parents were older. My father was 55 years old when I was born, so my parents were a bit older than most of my peers. It was a blessing to have the privilege of wonderful parents who taught me so much and set an incredible example for me. And, I hope, I turned out to be a blessing for them, as I had the honor of caring for them in the last years of their lives. (If you’re watching the slide show above, my father is the gentleman in the Bi-Lo hat, sitting beside my sister, Carolyn Bradley, who is wearing a red blouse.)
As we grow older, everyone will be touched in some way by the issues of elder care. It is a never-ending maze of doctors, specialists, health care choices, hospice, estate planning, benefits and stress. You find yourself asking so many questions, none of which has an easy answer. How do you know if your parent needs an assisted living facility or skilled nursing care, or even what the distinctions between those two levels are? How do you know if your parent needs end-of-life care from hospice? Can you provide adequate care in the home without having to make a move to a facility? How do you convince your parent that it’s not safe for him to drive anymore? How do you protect the family assets while maintaining eligibility for government benefits? How do you pay for it all?
At Seniors First Home Care, we understand what it takes to care for your aging parent. We offer a different selection of services than most providers of senior care, tailoring our options to meet the needs of families who need professional non-medical assistance in the home, as well as those families who want to learn how to care for a parent themselves.
If you need help in caring for an aging parent or other family member, call Seniors First Home Care at 803-791-9115. It will be an honor to assist you.
