- Assistance with morning wake-up and evening tuck-in
- Escort to appointments, shopping, errands

We understand that making the decision to seek outside help for a loved one is difficult. To help you determine the need for assistance, ask yourself:
- Has your loved one had trouble recently with tasks around the house?
- Have they sustained an injury trying to perform routine chores?
- Do they live alone?
- Has your loved one become more forgetful about medications,
appointments or paying bills? - Have they started to cook or clean less than usual?

Every day, I call my mother from my home in Massachusetts. Today, my mother called me to sing Happy Birthday to my husband. Jacinthe dialed the phone for her. Ever since Jacinthe has been providing care to my mother, there has been a tremendous change in her attitude and well-being. I can hear it in her voice. My mother (almost) always sounds cheerful, which was missing before Jacinthe came to care for her. She is more sociable and interested in current events.
