As the Family Caregiver(s) Consider This:

Are you feeling overwhelmed with yours or your loved one’s day to day activities?

How many days have you been absent from work, caring for your loved one?

When was the last time you got a full and restful night of sleep?

When was the last time you were out with friends for shopping or dinner?

When was the last time you were able to go for a leisurely walk, or talk on the phone uninterrupted?

When was the last time you felt totally comfortable taking a vacation…or have even been able to take a vacation?

Are you trying to manage the care of a loved one long-distance because you live out of town?

Is safety becoming an increasing concern for you or your loved one?

Throughout our lives, we must continuously adapt to situations we encounter in the environment around us, as well as within our own small worlds that we call family and friends. We grow and learn, sharing those life experiences and memories… some joyous, some sad.

Family, friends, neighbors, co-workers… the list could go on… will always try to assist you, or your loved one, in handling difficult situations, but after awhile, they too feel tired and torn about their other responsibilities. Rather than running to get groceries or do errands, clean the house, or make the next few days’ meals, they wish that they could return to the days of spending quality time with you, “catching up” over a cup of coffee or a meal. Simply being together is invaluable, to say nothing of the endless opportunities to share smiles, laughter, and hugs. For many, the loving care and assistance of an “Angel” Caregiver through Angels By Your Side, Inc., is enabling theirs, their families and their friends’ quality of life to improve, while promoting safety and independence.

Senior Services

As children, we have an undying thirst for new experiences.  And, we remember those times whenever we look into a child's eyes and see the wonder upon their faces.  As adolescents, we feel we are invincible and will live forever. As mature adults, we begin settling in, feeling more comfortable with ourselves, our work accomplishments and increasingly fulfilled in our personal relationships. As we continue to age, however, in the back of our minds a small voice begins to nudge us from time to time with the reality that we will not be living forever. Perhaps we or our loved one(s) just begin to slowly decline to the point where it is no longer safe to do all of the things we once took for granted and did independently for ourselves. Or, reality comes knocking, sometimes crashing, when a loved one, family member, friend, or we suddenly have a life changing illness or accident.

Whether care and assistance is needed while recovering from surgery or an accident, or during an acute or chronic illness or disease, the “Angels” of Angels By Your Side, Inc. will be by yours and your loved ones sides for as long as they are needed.

Special Needs Services

From the beginning, whether you or a loved one has a developmental disability, you have been fighting many battles… acceptance by family, friends, our communities, and society, in general. You seek accessibility, equal education and work opportunities, but, most importantly, support and assistance with yours or your loved ones special needs. Day in and day out helping yourself or a loved one get washed up and dressed, have breakfast, and get to the bus, work or the day's activities on time becomes more and more of a struggle. Likely, as a family member, you have outside commitments and need to be away from home for periods of time to work or run errands. Household chores may be piling up, and you can’t remember the last time that you prepared a home-cooked meal or took the dog, let alone yourself, for a leisurely walk.  Perhaps, there are other family members who receive less attention due to the circumstances, and they haven’t had a vacation or you to themselves, alone, for several years. Your family and friends try to help as much as possible even asking you to join them for a weekend away, but you feel guilty, and refuse. Studies have shown that as the primary caregiver, the stress of caring for someone becomes overwhelming to the point that their own physical, mental and emotional health suffers because they haven’t taken care of themselves.

Whether it’s a few hours a day, a weekend away, or a real vacation, an experienced special needs “Angel” Caregiver can provide personalized care, assistance, and companionship for you to help ease the strain of day to day living, or the much needed, and well deserved respite for a loved one, family member, or friend so that they can take time away from the situation to reclaim their energy and strength. 

New Parents Services

Congratulations!!

What excitement… what joy… oh, when are we going to get some sleep?

If there’s a Grandma and Grandpa available, they will certainly want to be on hand to help for a bit, but they tire easily too. And, while you are focusing on that beautiful new miracle, life continues to go on and pull at you…especially if you have other children.

Consider an “Angel” Caregiver assisting you by keeping up the household, preparing meals, running errands; even taking you for follow-up doctor’s appointments. It would take the burden off of you and your partner, especially if they are unable to take much time off of work.

Now, everyone’s excitement, joy, and energies can be better directed toward bonding with the baby and getting that much needed and well deserved rest.
