"The peace of mind I've gained is incredible."
-Jan K.
At the time of this story, Jan K. was an enrollee of Evercare Connections. This program is now called Evercare™ Solutions For Caregivers.
It's very scary to suddenly be accountable for your parent's entire life. It's overwhelming: you have so many questions and feel so lost. That's why I was so relieved when I found Evercare.
My father has diabetes, poor vision and is unsteady and unable to drive because he's lost most of the feeling in his feet. Then, he took a bad fall and broke his hip, which meant he needed immediate hospitalization and rehabilitative care.
It was nearly impossible to make all the arrangements long-distance. I didn't know where to turn for suggestions about residential care and rehabilitation centers, how to get him help at home or how to find a good assisted living facility.
Within two days, Evercare completed an evaluation of my dad's personal and health needs, and developed a plan suggesting several options for his short- and long-term care. They gave me recommendations for local assisted living and nursing home facilities, advised me on his overall health condition and really became my personal guide to help navigate the system.
Peggy [her father's Care Advocate] has been fantastic, in every way. She has been incredibly supportive during a really difficult and emotional time, helping us as a family make informed decisions. She has been a great representative for me, working with the medical staff to ensure my dad got the care he needed.
I just can't say enough about Evercare and the resources they provide. I can't imagine having to do this alone, without the help of an expert like Peggy. The peace of mind I've gained is incredible, and it's so comforting to know I have Peggy in my corner. I would highly, highly recommend Evercare to others facing this kind of situation. Evercare has so much to offer, and I'm so glad I have their help.
