Needs of caring for father are increasing

Margo cares for her father in her own home, and this has worked well until the last 6 weeks when her father had a stroke. He is feeling somewhat frustrated by the disability as a result of that stroke, and Margo, though she is very fond of her father, is finding that she no longer feels comfortable about leaving him alone when she needs to be out. She is also faced with a decision about whether or not to pursue a colonoscopy for her father because of his age. She is needing additional resources to help with the in home care for her father.

Most of the homecare agencies that are part of the ECN would be available for help with her father.  We at Homewatch Caregivers provide those services throughout the county.
