I couldn’t remember the last time I did something just for me; even after the birth of my children, I had hobbies, I went out with my friends, and attended events with my husband. After speaking with a friend, I was recommended to Home Instead Senior Care Southeast Houston, a company that I was told could help me, since they provide professional in home care for seniors.

After checking them out, I signed my mother up to receive assistance a few days a week, to alleviate some of my responsibilities. They also recommended me to a caregiver support group in my neighborhood so I could speak with other people who would understand what I’m going through.

With the help from HISC, I was able to take back some of my social life, and generally look after myself. After a few years in this routine, I was fortunate enough to be in a financial situation to cut back my hours at work. I chose to spend more time caring for my mom while still working part time; but having learned my lesson earlier,

I kept the help that HISC had been providing to allow me some guilt-free time to myself. While dealing with my aging mother, caring for my family, and working still naturally pose a stressful combination, I am no longer overwhelmed and I am better able to care for everyone, including myself.

Home Instead Senior Care Southeast Houston provides resources that seniors need to remain independent at home, we hope that families can avoid some of the stress that goes with caring for an aging loved one – (281) 484-0200.
