Our Philia Care home helpers pride themselves in creating warm, authentic relationships with those in our care. If you’re in our care program and some time has passed, you will likely discover that you have created a new relationship, even a friendship. Of course, this tie is distinct from the one you have with a nurse, a friend, or a family member. But the bond is almost as strong, because over time caregivers become an integral element of your family unit. While being there every day to attend to your needs and anticipating future needs, your care provider keeps his or her eyes and ears wide open to discover what is essential in your life so that you are not forced to do without, if at all possible. 

Daily interactions with someone in an intimate setting necessitate a high level of trust and loyalty from both parties. Nobody wants a caregiver who does not pay attention to your needs, does not respond to your calls in a timely manner, and leaves you feeling alone and unwanted in your own home. You can always count on our home caregivers to provide quality care when you need it. 

Caregivers can make a tremendous difference in how you feel when things are not looking so well. Sometimes simply having someone to talk to can ease the alienation or pain that we all feel from time to time. Our caregivers can also help you reconnect with former friends and colleagues so that you may continue to have an active social life. Philia Care recognizes that for many of our seniors, it is very important that connections made a lifetime ago are still being honored and nurtured.

Many of our senior clients enjoy our in-home care providers because they offer so much more than physical support; they are someone with whom our clients can discuss daily activities, preferences in books, television or recipes, family issues, and many other things. And before you know it, both of you are in a wonderful conversation where you’re exchanging experiences, sharing memories, telling jokes, and heartily laughing out loud. So much of the value in what we provide is genuine human connection when it is needed the most.

Another benefit that a home helper brings to the table is mental stimulation in the form of hobbies. They can provide ideas and possibilities to pick up or help you continue a hobby of your liking. Maybe you used to draw, or write, crochet and knit, assemble model cars, or anything else that strikes your fancy. Your home helper will have the means and availability to get you what you need or take you to places where you can acquire those things. 

Philia Care is proud to be in the position to provide you with the best possible home helpers so you can live the rest of your life the way you always wanted—or at least come very close to it.
