Elderly Home Care Advice For Busy Daughters
Whose Aging Mothers Want to Stay Home to The End
- Are you tired of rushing in the middle of the night to take your mom to the hospital for yet another false alarm? Meantime, you’re losing sleep again. Your elderly home care tasks are keeping you up only hours from another critical client meeting.
- Are you fed up of juggling MDs, RNs, CNAs and PAs plus all sorts of other medical acronyms and specialized personnel to keep your mom under sound medical care at home? Meanwhile you have your own home, career and personal obligations to stay on top of.
- Are you feeling guilty that there is never enough of you but always plenty of medical demands from mom, so that your relationship with her is becoming a hardship, despite your loving involvement in all her healthcare situations?
- Is caring for your aging mother feeling less like being a daughter and more like working for an HMO?
How would you like instead to…
- Regain full control of your career while maintaining a solid grip on your mother’s health treatment, without having to be involved in all sorts of medical minutia?
- Be free from having to interface with countless medical technicians without missing the beat on your mother’s condition and prognosis?
- Become empowered to return to the joy of dealing with your mom in her own home, because now someone else is there dedicated to liberating you both from the stress of her medical case management work?
- How would you like to keep your mom medically safe and sound at home without all the hassle of managing her medical case load, so you can feel free to be a daughter again?
An ancient proverb said that a virtuous woman in all forms of excellence is to be prized “far above rubies”. I believe this begins with a focus on home. It’s where we’re born. It’s where we grow up. It’s also where we gravitate as our days on earth begin to wane.
Home is where we want elderly home care to happen.
It’s not the place to turn into a clinic.
But often this happens as our parents age and choose not to leave for a hospital or even assisted living facilities. It is then that the most courageous of daughters, often the most successful and busiest at the time, inadvertently find themselves starting a second career in elderly home care as healthcare case managers for a mother dead-set on not leaving her home. But managing two careers worlds apart is a recipe for ineffectiveness and frustration. Do it for too long and dismay may begin to set in.
Effective executives delegate. And this unnecessary second career must also be delegated to someone who can do the task as good or rather even better than you. So, begin to regain control of your time to do what you alone can do. And this is to become free to deepen your relationship with your stay-at-home mom. No one else can do this as good as you.

TESTIMONIAL
My mother’s situation was somewhat unique in that she wanted to stay in her own home as long as she could and to do so safely and comfortably. Angelica’s customizing and personalizing our home treatment greatly facilitated that, allowing my mother to be comfortable and safe in her own home, as she sincerely desired and planned.
The greatest benefit I personally received from all of Angelica’s help was peace of mind. Because I don’t live nearby, to know that my mother was safe and well cared for was invaluable. Angelica kept us well informed, by telephone and email, of my mom’s medical and emotional status.
Under her leadership and by her example, the team provided many wonderful outings from feeding the ducks to special concerts and even making it possible for mom to enjoy her last trip to Hawaii. Everyone made a great effort to give my mother a lovely quality of life. It was a huge comfort to me knowing that my mother was surrounded by such a loving and caring team put together by Angelica.
