My older sister was in home care for about two months in Michigan. Arcadia provided her with 24/7 care. My sister has four siblings, but none of us lived in Michigan. My sister’s husband was not good at communicating or providing assistance. Due to this, the Arcadia aides became not only caregivers, but also family.
On top of this, my sister was not the easiest person to care for. She could be stubborn. She wanted things done in a certain way. The Arcadia aides were sensitive to her and treated her with respect.
The amount of help my sister needed changed during the two months. From when Janet first hired Arcadia until her dying day, Arcadia was able to respond immediately. My sister had cancer, and her body strength weakened. At a certain point, it was critical to have two aides for some shifts. Arcadia was able to provide that added care right away. One of the Arcadia aides offered to come if called during the 11-7 shift if it was needed. My sister’s final weeks on earth were enhanced by the attention and care from Arcadia.
