Alzheimer and Dementia Care
ElderCare 4 Families caregivers are trained to understand and care for alzheimer and dementia clients. We provide an individualized plan of care with strategies and techniques to establish a comfortable routine including socialization and activities. This allows us to use redirecting techniques when needed, find ways to avoid or reduce tension in anxious situations and keep a client busy when appropriate. We often work with clients experiencing sundowning symptoms and sleep disruptions that may lead to pacing at night. We ensure client safety while promoting as much independence as possible.
Specialized Care
Our staff trains caregivers on disease specific issues and there is a plan of care in the home that is specific to the care and needs and best practices for the individual client. Heart disease may require daily weighing to monitor fluid retention or rehab patients may need encouragement for regular walks or exercises. Individualized, personalized, up-to-date care is one of the many things that sets ElderCare 4 Families apart from the competition.
Respite Care
Our respite care offers you the opportunity to reduce your stress, restore your energy and just get a little “me time” to take care of yourself. It’s important you take care of your mental and physical health if you are the primary caregiver. You need to monitor your health by attending your appointments and exercising regularly while being able to maintain relationships with friends and family members. Every caregiver needs a break from time to time whether they’re a family member or one of our caregivers. Whether you use our services to shop, socialize or work, we are there to care for your loved while you take care of yourself.
One-on-one care in facilities
Often clients who live in facilities need and desire more individual care than a facility is equipped to offer. We are happy to work with any facility to ensure that their resident, our client, receives the best possible one-on-one care in the area. We monitor and support clients by helping with regular outings to their salon or church or taking out exercising or to a water fitness class. We can monitor wandering problems, offer companionship and provide all around support.
Hospice Care
ElderCare 4 Families caregivers work with hospice to provide loved ones with care and comfort. Many times people find peace in being at home and may need 24/7 care. At times family covers portions of the days or nights while our caregivers cover the remaining hours. We assist with daily care, companionship and household tasks to ensure the client is as comfortable as possible.
Senior Advocate Concierge Service
Do you find yourself constantly “working” for your loved one when you would rather by talking and connecting with them? Our Senior Advocate Concierge Service can help you! We can schedule and accompany them to appointments, assist with bill pay, shop, supervise home maintenance, maintain a calendar of events, run errands and much more. Let us work as a surrogate daughter for your family so you can spend your time sharing stories about the day or reminiscing about old times. Our service gives you more time for you and more social time with your loved ones.

TESTIMONIALS
Featured Testimonials
Answer to my prayers: ElderCare 4 Families has been the answer to my prayers for my parents. – Pam U., clients’ daughter
Extension of my family: “I am so lucky to have an extension of my family with ElderCare 4 Families.” – Laurie S, Client
Together at Home: “I called ElderCare when my family advised me to put my wife in a nursing home. It was the best thing I ever did. They sent me wonderful caregivers who fixed some meals, helped my wife take a bath, and took us to doctors appointments so I wouldn’t have to bother my children. Without ElderCare, my wife and I would have been separated.” When this man’s wife passed away, Rita Pate, owner, visited him at the funeral home. When he saw her enter the room, he stopped his conversation, hugged Rita and introduced her to everyone “This is the woman that allowed me and the love of my life to stay together until our very last day.” – Robert C., Client’s husband

Mother especially looked forward to the visits: My wife and I thank you and your staff for the high level of care you provided to Mother over the past several months. You certainly made my life less hectic, and allowed me to be away from home for short periods of time without worrying. Mother especially looked forward to the visits from “her caregiver”. She took excellent care of Mother’s personal needs, but she also read to her, did her nails and many other things that were over and above what was really expected. – Gerald S, Client’s husband
I like the reliability of the services: as a registered nurse and a medical case manager I have had the opportunity to work with Rita Pate and ElderCare 4 Families on several occasions. We have collaborated on providing care for some of our elder care clients. Our clients can vary in their needs for home care assistance. ElderCare 4 Families has been able to staff around the clock in-home care. Due to the thorough assessments and diligent staffing from ElderCare 4 Families, Preferred Case Management Clients has been able to maintain our elder care clients in their homes. In home care is not the only service that ElderCare 4 Families performs. Rita has offered grocery shopping, and transportation, and other support services. In addition, they offer professional assessments from social service or registered nurses. I like the reliability of the services provided by ElderCare 4 Families. They have offered qualified personnel to meet the needs of our elder care clients. I find working with ElderCare allows me to focus on my case management duties, as I know that ElderCare 4 Families will send out qualified caring individuals to cover my client’s needs. – Georgia Pope, RN, BSN, Preferred Case Management
Caring: The one word I would use to describe your company, ElderCare 4 Families, is CARING! – Wendy F, Client’s daughter
I can only hope to be so lucky: Eldercare took care of both of my parents at the end of their lives. We had their employees in our home for 5 years. Not once did we have a bad experience with a caregiver. The level of care and the compassion and caring spirit of the owners, managers, and the wonderful caregivers was incredible. My parents were able to live out the rest of their lives in their own home because of ElderCare 4 Families. Kudos! I can only hope to be so lucky. – Bridget M, Clients’ daughter

Shopping for Home Care?
What should you ask?
Private Caregivers vs Agency
Often private caregivers are found from a neighbor or friend or from another caregiver helping someone you know. They normally charge a much lower amount per hour which can be a big attraction. It’s important to understand where this savings comes from and the risk the family will bear by using their services. This savings can come from not paying payroll taxes as required by the state and federal government and by the private caregiver not carrying Worker’s Compensation and Liability Insurance coverage. When working with a private individual, the family will be responsible for a back up plan when that person is not available to work due to illness or time off. There isn’t an agency to call for a fill-in caregiver. Also, the family will be responsible for the supervision, monitoring and training of the private caregiver as the client’s needs change. Be sure to consider why a caregiver is choosing to work privately. It gives them the opportunity to re-negotiate with the family for more money at any time. We’ve heard stories of private caregivers sharing their personal problems with their clients and then asking for a raise or loan. Also, they may be trying to avoid payroll taxes by being paid directly. They could be avoiding a garnishment or collecting unemployment or disability payments while working for cash. Sometimes they avoid agencies due to problems with required screenings – background checks, registry checks and/or drug tests. Whatever the situation, there are great caregivers working privately and at agencies all over the country. The challenge for everyone is finding these great caregivers. We have lots of systems and procedures in place to hire the best! Whatever you decide, we hope you make an informed decision. It’s important when hiring a service to get the best value but you must be sure that it doesn’t come with huge risks. We hope that you find ElderCare 4 Families to be the best value to take care of your family member or loved one!
