From taking seniors to the doctor's appointments, shopping for their groceries, doing their laundry, and preparing their meals. Home Helpers can provide the basic services that just might make it possible for seniors to remain in their own home. Bill Ellis understands these specific needs. Bill's grandmother loved her home; she had great neighbors and a beautiful back yard. She loves her independence. It was a sad day when, while watering the back yard she slipped and fell down on the back garden path. She felt a feeling of helplessness and fear as the phone she carried flew too far away to reach and she laid injured in her own back yard. The sprinklers soaked her for four long hours until she was found. Later her fears and decreased mobility made it difficult to carry out the very day activities of maintaining a home. Bill's grandmother regrets the decision of selling her home and moving in with my aunt and uncle, not because she doesn't care for her daughter and son-in-law, but rather she has lost a degree of independence. This and other experiences with his own mother caused Bill wanted his grandmother grand-mother to have a caregiver who could help her with the household chores of laundry, grocery shopping, shop-ping, and preparing meals. A caregiver care-giver was needed to be with her to run errands an carry her to the doctor's appointments. This option was not found for my grandmother. grandmoth-er.
