Keystone Eldercare Services

If any of these situations sound familiar, we can help:

• “My husband had a stroke and is in hospital and I am not sure what to do when he comes home.”
• “I worry about Mom every day because I don’t have enough time to get her the help she needs as I live in a different city.”
• “Mom is getting so forgetful and I am not sure if it’s safe for her to live on her own anymore.”
• “I work full-time and have two children. My Dad needs more help.  I am exhausted and overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start to plan for his future care needs.”

Knowing your aging parent or spouse needs more help is one thing. Navigating your way through an eldercare crisis or the health-care maze is another.

Many of us don’t know who to call to find assistance to help ourselves or an aging parent one manage at home or when it is time to move. It is often confusing, complicated and challenging to understand the ins and outs.

Seniors and caregivers often experience stress and feelings of being overwhelmed. Especially when the bottom falls out or when there isn’t a plan in place.

 We have customized services to help you, regardless if you are a long-distance caregiver, or a seasoned caregiver experiencing new challenges or a senior facing an age-related transition.
