Finding Peace of Mind in a Time of Crisis: A Family’s Journey with Concierge Care Advisors
It’s Monday morning, and you’re going about your usual routine when the phone rings—your mother is in the hospital. Fear, anxiety, and panic overwhelm you. This is the experience one of my clients went through, and I had the honor of standing by his side as he navigated this difficult time.
When he arrived at the hospital, I was already there, waiting to support him. His mother had been living at home with the help of an in-home caregiver for several years. The caregiver was with her eight hours a day, building a true bond and understanding her client’s unique needs. Over the past few weeks, his mother had become weaker. Her legs would lock up, and she had begun to fall, even while using a walker.
The Power of a Caring Caregiver
The caregiver wasn’t just an employee—she was like a family member. She knew exactly how to prompt her client to wash her face, brush her teeth, and get dressed. More importantly, she genuinely cared. She wasn’t worried about losing her job—she wanted what was best for the woman she had grown close to. This is the kind of caregiver we strive to find for every family we work with at Concierge Care Advisors.
Together, the caregiver, the son, and I discussed care options. Given her mother’s declining mobility and increased need for support, I suggested we explore an Adult Family Home.
Overcoming a Family’s Fear
Immediately, I saw panic on the son’s face. Both he and the caregiver shared painful memories of when his father had moved into an Adult Family Home 25 years ago—an experience that left deep emotional scars. His hesitation was palpable. “That was a nightmare,” he told me.
I empathized with his experience. “I’m so sorry your family went through that,” I said. “At Concierge Care Advisors, we take great care to thoroughly vet every home we recommend. I would never suggest a place for your mom that I wouldn’t choose for my own family.” My words seemed to ease some of his reservations, though I could tell he was still uncertain.
Touring Homes, Finding Peace
We toured three Adult Family Homes in his neighborhood, all within a short drive from his house. At each home, we met compassionate caregivers, toured cozy spaces, and discussed the care plans they could offer. After our final visit, the son turned to me and said, “I kind of thought there were people who do what you do, but I wasn’t sure. Thank goodness the social worker told me about Concierge Care Advisors. I didn’t think I’d have the time to research and find the right place for my mom, but you made this so much easier for me. I really appreciate what you’re doing for our family.”
I could see the relief wash over him. He now knew his mother would be in a safe and caring home, close by, and surrounded by people who would meet her needs.
