"We engaged Family Matters recently for the home healthcare needs of my elderly dad, and have had a wonderful experience. They have been consistently very responsive and quick to provide service, and their team seems to be quite competent. Last weekend, as my dad was coming home from a hospital stay in which discharge required full time care (he had been getting part-time care from FM), the amazing people at FM provided a plan for full time care and even someone to start within about an hour. This on a late Saturday afternoon. Amazing! Can't recommend FM highly enough." - Pam A. on Yelp

Becoming a caregiver for a loved one is never easy. This can be especially true when someone suffers a stroke, resulting in symptoms that require long-term rehabilitation and care. Even if you’re ready to step up and help out, most people aren’t prepared for the challenges of providing round-the-clock care. Tending to a dependent adult can feel overwhelming, and you’re going to need support if you don’t want to burn out. An in-home care provider can help you with the extensive care your loved one may need in the aftermath of a stroke.
