Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. As many of you may know, getting out to interact and talk with our clients is one of my favorite things. I now have a close second favorite. Here you see Rodney of #GoldenHeartScottsdale.com talking with a group of nurses from a local hospice. Explaining to them the non medical side of caring for a family in hospice seemed quite eye opening to some. We love caring for people. We love talking about how we care for people. Feel free to contact us at #GoldenHeartScottadale.com for more information.
Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. As you may know, we love to get out into the community. Here, we are having an in-service with a hospice. This is an opportunity for us to go in and remind them why we are a good company to share business with. In this picture, we are discussing how we background check, drug screen and review our staff’s history to make sure we are providing a high quality individual to provide care. We also discussed the training that our CNAs, LNAs and caregivers come in with as well as continue to receive. If you would like us to come in and discuss who and how we hire as well as all the things we will do to support the patient’s family, please contact us at #GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for more information.
Hello Senior, Families and Friends. I usually don’t send out as many articles complimenting our caregivers. This has been a good week of people appreciating the help we provide. I know the picture doesn’t match this article. But again, someone is complimenting the care forwarded by our caregiver. It makes me so happy to know that the hard work done by the office staff makes it’s way to the field that I have to share. Below, please see another note by a client raving about their caregiver. When you focus on hiring the right people, the correct results are the result. Please see below what our client has to say about their caregiver. Again, if you would like the help of someone who will have you writing notes like this, please contact us at #GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for more information. To our caregivers, please keep doing what you do the way that you’re doing it. Your care enriches our clients lives. Please see below.
I am writing to you today to rave about JB! JB is such a blessing to our family. She is friendly, warm, and very up-beat. Joan arrives each session with a notebook filled with plans for the day’s activities to help keep my mother-in-law’s mind active and engaged. It’s really above and beyond what we anticipated and very much appreciate her efforts. JB is just great!! If Golden Heart has an employee of the month opportunity, I definitely would like to nominate Joan for the award:)
Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. This is what we call a feel good story that matches the times. This is DC. He has been a caregiver with #GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for about 6 years. We would like to congratulate DC for being Naturalized as an American Citizen. He was born in Africa. He has been working on his citizenship for about 8 years. He has been here on a Visa. Now, DC is an American Citizen. We are so proud of him and would like to say congratulations publicly. Keep up the great work. We are so happy to have you as part of our team.
Please see the attached picture. This is our Community Liaison Linda at an Assisted Living Center activity. As you can see, when we’re at an AL or IL activity, we participate. If you’d like someone to give you a reason to dance at home or if you work at an assisted living community and need people to help entertain your residents, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottdale.com or call 480.284.7360 and we will be happy to help. Let’s keep out seniors dancing as long as we can.
When you have a group of friends and one passes, you tend to follow their wish for a celebration. Our friend, Claude, didn’t want a celebration of life or a funeral. So, we decided to have a Friends of Claude’s Coffee. We sat, told stories and enjoyed his presence. We’ll miss you buddy!!!
Hello Seniors, Friends and Families. This is not the photo that goes with this message. This is a photo of Rodney having dinner with some friends at Acoya Senior Living. Yes, it was a great time.
Please see below. This is what a family had to say about a caregiver from Golden Heart Senior Care. Many seniors don’t like the thought of having someone in their home to help them. Once they understand our focus and intention is to help them remain at home independently, they generally soften and accept the help. To receive care for yourself or a family member that will have you making comments like the one below, please contact us @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for more information. Please read the comment below;
Hi Linda (Our Social Worker), Just wanted to let you know it went well today. My Mom really liked Cynthia. This evening, I was wondering if it had been a little too long for her today (a little too much excitement having another person moving around the house). But just now my Mom asked if our helper girl was coming tomorrow. 😃 hopefully she doesn’t change her mind. The Client.
Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. The work that a caregiver does is so easy to overlook and is so important in seniors age in their homes. It may not sound like much. Please read the comments below sent in by a new client. For more information on how you can receive a caregiver that makes you want to leave a comment like this, please visit us @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com.
I happened to be at the home when the caregiver was working, and she did a wonderful job. She was personable and stayed very busy the entire shift that she was there. She assisted my aunt in getting her compression socks on and getting to know my aunt as this was their first meeting. She also did a beautiful job straightening my aunts room and kitchen as well as other things. Thank you for providing a very friendly, supportive, and hard working lady to assist my aunt.
Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, with approximately half of the costs attributed to informal caregivers, so preparing financially is essential. Maureen Bradley, one of A Place for Mom’s most seasoned senior care experts, recommends “The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, and Memory Loss” by Nancy L. Mace, MA, and Dr. Peter V. Rabins, MPH.“‘The 36-Hour Day’ is an oldie but a goodie and is considered a must-read for families of folks living with dementia,” says Bradley, who’s currently pursuing her doctoral thesis on non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive decline in older adults. Here at Golden Heart Senior Care, we pride ourselves on having caregivers who are trained on how to work with clients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. To have a caregiver trained in the many ways to help a client with dementia, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com. We are here to help!!!
According to an article written by Kayla Erdewyk of Senior Living, respite care, whether in your home or through a short-term stay at a senior living community, can provide much-needed support and give you a break from caregiving. You’ve put your heart and soul into your work, but you deserve help and the opportunities to step away. In-home respite care can help keep caregiver fatigue and burnout at bay, and there are other out-of-home arrangements, too. If you’re curious, you can even try respite care before you have an urgent need. Planning ahead will help you and your elderly family member know you have a trusted option when the time comes. For more information on respite care, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com. We are here to help you and your family.
