It’s easy to become overwhelmed, especially when caring for a parent at home. Caregivers often neglect personal self care as they care for others.
What’s even more challenging is when the adult child has children of their own. It can seem like there’s no end in sight to be free from the busyness of the daily routine.
Caring for aging loved ones is built on compassion, but it’s also one of the most difficult, draining, and isolating jobs that exist.
That’s why Happier at Home prioritizes the care of their caregivers so they can be at their best.

How We Do It
When it comes to how to take care of elderly at home, Happier at Home knows what matters most.
Starting With the Care Plan
During the free assessment, your expert advisor creates a care plan tailored to your loved-ones needs. This includes specific tasks and responsibilities, schedule, and scope to ensure your loved-one maximizes their independence with the right type of support.
From meal preparation to social interaction, our caregivers assist the elderly to do their daily chores. Each caregiver is carefully selected based on their best fit for each client.
Care Advocacy
From managing doctor’s appointments to transitioning from hospitals and rehabs, companion caregivers assist the elderly in their health journey. Post-surgery elderly are empowered to remain independent so they don’t graduate to a high, more expensive level of care.
What Sets Us Apart
There are many caregiving agencies, but few that stand apart. Happier at Home employs all their caregivers (they’re not contractors), is insured and bonded, most locations are linked to pharmacies so can help with medication reminders (and more), has low-to-no minimums, and many other bells and whistles including a partnership with a fall detection service.
How many agencies do you know have all that?
Conclusion
With the right support from Happier at Home, the journey of how to take care of our seniors at home is a labor of love as we empower our seniors to live safely, independently, and for as long as possible with the dignity they deserve.
