Judy Kramer Brings Caregiving and Business Experience to New Home Helpers and Direct Link Company

APPLE VALLEY, Minn. - March 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Judy Kramer enjoys caring for others – she raised three children and both of her parents are in their 90s – but she also understands that not every family can be there 24/7. That’s why Kramer decided to open her own caregiving business, Home Helpers and Direct Link of Southwestern Twin Cities.

Home Helpers is the nation’s leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and individuals needing recuperative and continuing assistance. Direct Link is its proprietary line of 24/7 medical alert systems, including a fall sensor and an automated medication dispenser. Home Helpers and Direct Link of Southwestern Twin Cities serves Edina, Bloomington, Burnsville, Apple Valley and the surrounding communities.

“I’m a genuine caregiver by nature and I have a son with Type 1 diabetes and parents who are 92 and 94. I was talking to a friend about whether or not Home Helpers would be a fit for me and she commented that she didn’t know what she would do when her parents needed help because they lived very far away. That’s what made the bell go off in my head. There have to be other families facing that same challenge and I know how important it is to have caregivers you can trust. By bringing Home Helpers to this community, I will be giving families another option for providing top-notch care,” Kramer said.

Home Helpers and Direct Link offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person’s individual needs. Services offered include personal care such as grooming, bathing, ambulation, medication management and care management as well as respite care, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, companionship and transportation.

Kramer has a diverse background in corporate support, development and quality assurance. Prior to Home Helpers she worked as the senior development director in the Oracle Retail Business Unit directing the Customer Support Group.

“I’ve always wanted to open my own business and, with up to 160 people across the country working for me at Oracle, I was working around the clock. I got to a point where I decided that, if I’m going to work 24/7, it should be for myself. I was drawn to Home Helpers because I’m extremely passionate about caregiving and the needs of our seniors,” Kramer said.

With Home Helpers, each individual client receives services tailored to meet their specific needs by caregivers who become an extension of their family. Home Helpers’ full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety and comfort of their own homes.
