At Caring Friends In-Home Care, we know that sometimes a little extra help can make all the difference. For many families, having a trusted person there to lend a hand isn’t just about assistance—it’s about peace of mind and companionship. Recently, Val Heedum shared how having that support has made life easier for her parents, especially her father.
A Helping Hand When It’s Needed Most
Val’s dad had some health concerns that required extra attention. While she was able to step in and help, it became clear that they needed someone to be there regularly. That’s when they found the right person to offer a little extra support. Over the past three months, she’s been there not just for Val’s dad, but for both of her parents, offering a friendly presence and assistance when needed.
Most recently, her father faced a medical issue, and having that extra set of hands there during recovery was a huge relief. For Val, it’s comforting to know that someone is there when she can’t be, and for her parents, it’s been an added sense of security and ease in their daily life.
More Than Just Help—A Friendly Face
Val’s mom, Loretta, has also felt the benefits of having someone around. She shared how nice it is to start the morning with a friendly conversation, easing into the day with a little chat before the day’s tasks begin. In addition to being a welcome presence, this extra help with light housekeeping has been especially appreciated as daily tasks become a little more challenging with age.
“It means a lot to me,” Loretta shared. “When you get older and your knees and back aren’t as strong as they used to be, having a little extra help makes all the difference.”
A Little Extra Support After the Holidays
The holiday season brings visits from loved ones, but once the celebrations are over, it can be tough for those who find themselves alone again. Having someone there, even just for a few hours, can provide comfort and continuity after the busyness of the season winds down.
Val emphasized that if you’ve been thinking about a loved one who might need an extra hand, now is a great time to explore options. “Just give us a call and ask about it. Having that support in place can be a real game changer.”
