Tom and his wife, Carole, have been married for 65 years. They have three children and a handful of grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are blessed with family that are actively involved in their care. Tom was an electrical engineer for AT&T for 40 years. His hobbies were golf and computers. Tom has several health issues including dementia and diabetes. Our caregivers assist Tom in getting up in the morning, helping him get dressed and ready for the day. They assist with showering, grooming, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. Tom is a fall risk, therefore, our caregivers provide safe transfers and ambulation. Tom is receiving physical therapy. Our caregivers also assist him with the exercises on days when physical therapy staff are not there. This brings increased progress. Another important task is that our caregivers assist Tom in taking and recording his blood sugar making sure that he has accurate records of his health vitals. At the end of the day, our caregivers assist Tom in getting him ready for bed before they leave.
I spoke with Tom's wife and son. They answered the following questions.
