Give Grandparents The Gift Of Personal Assistance

Sept. 5, 2008 - PRLog -- What’s topping your Grandparents’ Day shopping list for your favorite older family member?  Another bathrobe? One more scarf? More aftershave? How about a better idea?

Many of today’s seniors, who are opting to stay at home and in charge despite advancing age, would prefer a helping hand that will allow them to enjoy this celebration. “Like everyone else, seniors experience greater stress during  a special holiday,” said  Rashelle Hammack, General Manager of Family Staffing Solutions of Vanderburgh County, a company new to Evansville, Indiana  that specializes in providing professional in-home personal care assistance  to seniors.

To make Grandparents’ Day more special for those seniors in your family, consider the gift of personal care assistance.  Engage the services of a professional companion who is sensitive to the specific needs of seniors.   Family Staffing Solutions has been called on to provide a variety of household services that range from companion care, errands and doctor appointments, meal preparation, laundry and other important personal needs.  They also accompany seniors on shopping trips and can provide transportation to events like church services or out to lunch with friends.

For many families, coming to Grandma’s house is the highlight of any special occasion.   However, meal preparation and housekeeping that may precede the visit require a great deal of work that more fragile seniors simply can’t handle by themselves.   Want Grandmother or Granddad to visit you for the day, but they can’t travel alone?  Give them a travel companion as a gift.

Adult children who are also the primary caregiver—while maintaining their own home, job and family life — could also benefit from a gift of personal care assistance for their parents. It becomes an almost impossible juggling act of trying to squeeze in special events and celebrations with everyday work schedules and continuing to provide the best of care for an elder family member.  Why not an early Grandparents’ Day gift for yourself by scheduling a personal care assistant to handle some of the caregiving duties for a few days or weeks.  It makes life less stressful for the entire family.
