Read the example stories below to see the different levels of care we offer. You can learn more about how to assess the level of care needed for your loved one here. 

Mr. Carter, a 75-year old veteran, lives alone since his wife passed away two years ago. One day, his daughter, Katie, stopped by and noticed that her dad forgot to take hypertension medications and the home was messy: the kitchen sink full of used dishes and cooking ware, smelly clothes all over the place, and dirty floors. “Dad, how are you doing?” she asked while picking up the clothes from the living room floor, “It doesn’t smell good here.” “I know, honey. I am slower now, and my back hurts if I bend down too much.” Mr. Carter replied. “I can help you when I am here… Hey, do you want me to find someone to come here to clean the place when I am busy? I can pay for the services.” Katie suggested. “Not a bad idea. If you help me find someone, I will pay for it. I am getting old now, aren’t I?” Mr. Carter acknowledged the need.

– Assistance with light housekeeping and medication reminders:

In this case, our staff can help with housekeeping tasks and medication reminders; it will be one or two visits and several hours of help per week.

Mr. Martinez, in his 70s, was diagnosed with dementia a year ago when he got hospitalized because of pneumonia. Sometimes, Mr. Martinez has difficulty finding the right words to express himself; his personality has changed several months ago, and become irritative or even combative occasionally. His wife Anne has been his caregiver and is taking care of him on a 24/7 basis. She cares about her husband but has a feeling that she has already lost him due to his inability to communicate and unexpected emotional challenges. Last week, her husband even tried to hit her when she was feeding him. She is tired, frustrated, and feels hopeless.

– Assistance with respite care: 

In this case, our staff can provide respite care for Anne so that she can take a break, get social support, and recharge herself; it will be 1 to 2 days of service every two weeks, depending on her needs.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are in their early 90s and live together in their home. Mr. Wilson got several strokes last year; he cannot express himself well due to the strokes and needs help with bathing, getting around the home, as well as personal hygiene. Mrs. Wilson has been taking care of her husband since then. Unfortunately, while heading down the basement for laundry last week, Mrs. Wilson fell down the stairs and broke her left arm. After discharge from a hospital, she has to stay at a rehabilitation center for three months and can’t take care of Mr. Wilson now. Their closest son, living in North Carolina, came home last week but has to leave in two days due to his day job. Mr. Wilson needs immediate help.

– Assistance with activities of daily living:

In this case, our staff can help Mr. Wilson with activities of daily living; depending on needs, it will be one or two visits and 6 to 8 hours of service per day or live-in care.

We offer technology-enabled team-based care for in-home seniors who need daily living assistance such as bathing, grooming, dressing, personal hygiene, medication reminders, and other care needs.

Three years ago, my mom, 82-years old at the time, drove to the ER by herself under a panic attack. The doctor said, because of her vascular dementia, she wouldn’t be able to drive or live alone anymore.

As a busy mom and professional myself, I hired a caregiver. Together, they do activities like cooking, gardening, and taking a walk in the park. This makes mom very happy.

But not for long, the caregiver moved to another city. My mom was very sad. For several weeks, I had to give up a lot of my job responsibilities to take care of her. It almost cost me my job.

Then I found TeamCarer. Their caregivers support each other; when a caregiver is not available, another will step in. They also use technology to facilitate communication, scheduling, and care coordination. I can even give a star rating to our caregiver.

Now, my mom and the new caregiver enjoy being together. Sharing tasks and companionship have made my mom a new person. I can now focus on my work and my own family. That is what I call peace of mind.

We take care of the basics as other home care companies do. All caregivers are certified as nursing assistants or home health aides. All are carefully selected, background-checked, and insured. But below are the reasons why we are different and more importantly, better. 

Our caregivers are organized as a team of capable people who can trust each other

Team members support and empower each other clinically and emotionally

Caregivers work as a team, make decisions, and solve problems that result in the best overall individual care for your loved one

Caregivers can learn, grow, make friends, prosper, all the while making a difference in people’s lives
