Temporary Care

Judith had always been active. She went for long runs years before jogging was popular. She had even hiked part of the Three Peaks. And she still chased her toddler grandson around the living room whenever her daughter and son-in-law were in town. But Judith started to have hip pain that worsened with time. Her doctor suggested a hip replacement and Judith didn’t hesitate. However, there was no one within driving distance who was able to help her keep up with the house during her recovery. She and her daughter consulted with Right at Home, deciding to have a carer come to the house for the first three weeks after Hattie’s surgery. The procedure went off without a hitch and after a few weeks, Judith was back on her feet and felt decades younger. 

While she was recovering, Right at Home provided numerous companionship and housekeeping services to Judith, including:

  • Transportation
  • Bringing in newspaper/mail
  • Companionship
  • Light housekeeping
  • Grocery shopping
  • Cooking
  • Washing dishes
  • Laundry services
  • Running errands
  • Range of motion exercises

Gail is an excellent ambassador for the firm - pleasant, polite and professional at all times. Gemma, to me, is the epitome of what a carer should be. She is a very hard worker and always has a smile on her face."
