Homecare Choices

What if your loved one could age with dignity, independence, and personalized care – without the high cost of moving into a facility?

Quality home care like that provided to Cape Cod seniors by Homecare Choices adapts to changing needs at a predictable cost, allowing seniors to stay where they’re most comfortable – at home.

No one wants to lose their independence, feel isolated, or leave behind the familiarity of home. Aging parents may quietly accept the idea of an institutional setting, hoping it will ease the burden on their family. But does it really make life easier?

Homecare Choices has a new website that's a resource for ideas and answers related to aging.

We have been providing the highest quality home care services since 2016 – and we just redesigned and updated our website to offer more resources to clients and those looking for help navigating the decisions that arise as loved ones age.

“Our aim is to be a community partner to anyone searching for ideas and answers related to aging,” says Peter Carey, Homecare Choices Executive Director. “Our new site reflects our philosophy. We are candid with no sales pitch. Our goal is to help cut through the confusion and get you connected to the answers and resources you need as quickly as possible.”

The new site uses the latest web tools to create an engaging experience. We share more of what clients and families need to know with less searching. The site focuses on topline concerns for seniors and others considering home care. It was created in partnership with Exposure, a Connecticut-based digital marketing agency.

Take a look at the new site:

If you were planning to drive from Boston to Southern Florida, you would likely expect to stop at gas stations, restaurants, and a hotel or two. It would be absurd to head out on a nonstop journey with no supplies or planned stops but that is often the case when a spouse or child suddenly becomes the primary caregiver for a family member with Alzheimer’s or other dementia condition.

And caregiving stress can induce depression and even life threatening illnesses, according to the National Care Planning Council. That may be a risk many of us are willing to take, but caregivers often soldier on even as their caregiving time overwhelms them and depletes emotional and physical reserves. That is the cue to add resources so you can make it through the marathon with enough wellbeing to achieve your goals.

Homecare Choices stands ready to help. We join our clients and families as a partner to prevent problems and add quality of life. Call us now for a free consultation and begin a conversation about your family's needs, or contact Executive Director Peter Carey by email at petercarey@homecarechoices.com.

For many families, there comes a time when aging parents or loved ones can no longer care for themselves safely and a decision must be made about their future care. At that point, the pressing question becomes which option is best, home care or assisted living?

“By necessity, the setting is institutional at senior care facilities. Often, so is the food. Issues like staff turnover, a lack of choice in peers, and dorm-style rooms can heighten feelings of despair and loneliness,” says Peter Carey, Executive Director of Homecare Choices, which provides personalized in-home care to seniors on Cape Cod.

Do you have parents, family members, or other loved ones who live on Cape Cod and would benefit from the in-home care services provided by one of Homecare Choices' compassionate caregivers?

Some benefits of having a caregiver for a senior or other family member who needs in-home care and assistance include:

✅ The well-being of loved ones does not have to depend on adult children as much.

✅ When you have a relationship with a trusted caregiver, they can become your eyes and ears and help you to stay connected as you seek to protect and care for senior loved ones.

✅ Our services include memory care and companionship, personal care, light housekeeping and meal prep, chores and pet care.

✅ Every Homecare Choices relationship is based on the individual’s unique needs, and we can cover most things on a family’s priority list.

✅ As care partners to our clients and their families, we can keep an eye on things apart from care that should be addressed and work with family members as an advocate to get things done so problems are avoided.

Every winter can be a challenge for senior citizens and others who depend on the support of caregivers to remain comfortably at home with a sense of independence.

The key to weathering winter well for most home care clients is a strong three-way partnership involving those receiving care services, the caregiving agency, and family members who are empowered to help make proactive decisions and help to prevent problems.

“Our most rewarding cases operate as partnerships. The first partnership is with the client. We prioritize their comfort and preferences to support their highest possible quality of life. In many cases, the senior in our care is reliant upon the good stewardship of their adult children. We can be the representative for family that cannot be present daily. Issues like winter home maintenance, home repairs, groceries and other purchasing decisions can be made by family and overseen by your local agency caregivers and case managers,” said Peter Carey, Executive Director of Homecare Choices.

Mr. and Mrs. K are Holocaust survivors able to continue living at home on Cape Cod even though he's 102 and she's 95 and has dementia.

This inspiring couple, who met, married, and lived in the Greater Boston after coming to America following the war, deeply deserve to remain at home together with dignity and peace of mind, so we launched a GoFundMe campaign on their behalf.

If you can help, click the link at the bottom of this post, or go straight to the donations page here: https://gofund.me/60efeeb2
