Request Information

 

Many times, family members out of love may attempt to take over the responsibility of caring for a parent or a sibling themselves.  Unfortunately, this generous act can sometimes put tremendous strain on their existing relationship.

The family member can quickly become overwhelmed by the additional responsibility, leading to feelings of resentment, while the receiver of care experiences guilt and diminished self-worth for shifting this burden to a loved one.  A personal companion is the perfect solution.

CareWorks is a customer focused, state licensed home care agency of professionals and trained caregivers providing senior care services.  OUR CAREGIVERS are carefully screened, insured, bonded and *trained so you can trust you are getting the best possible assistance.

Special Training - Disease Specific Care - We recognize the fact that certain illnesses and afflictions are more common to seniors. Therefore, we provide special training, produced by Healing Arts Communications (Recipient of the 2005 Honorable Distinction Award from the American Society on Aging) for our caregivers. This program provides training on communicating and caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and related Dementia, Parkinson’s and Aphasia (Stroke) which ensures a higher level of care for our clients.

Veteran’s Financial Assistance

If you are a Veteran, or the Surviving Spouse of a Veteran, you will be pleased to know that CareWorks is also a Veteran's Home Care Specialist. We are proud to help you attain the benefits you have earned as an Honored Veteran of the US Armed Forces.
