Jeff shares his journey of needing home health care due to neuropathy and arthritis
Video Testimonial Transcript
I realized I needed home health care about a year ago. I tried but I just couldn’t do my household chores like I needed to.
What ailments do you struggle with?
Jeff: I have a neuropathy and I have nerve damage in my legs. In fact I’ve got to go for more tests. They said that’s the main thing. I also have arthritis real bad in my legs.
How does a caregiver help?
Brook: I helped Jeff with many different household tasks that he’s not able to do anymore or that are just very difficult on him. Like sweeping and mopping. I know that those chores are very hard on the back. I really enjoy connecting with the clients it’s really nice to come in and while I’m working just kind of chat get close to those people. That’s really something I enjoy doing. I love to take care of others. So that’s a really big perk at this job.
Jeff: She’s exactly right. You create a bond. It helps to have someone to talk to. I’m alone all the time and it’s just nice that and I can trust her you know to if I say something I know it’s not going to go any farther.
Brook: I believe trust is a very important thing when it comes to this kind of work. I try to be a pretty trustworthy caretaker for all my clients.
Jeff: It’s nice to have have someone come in to help do these things that I have trouble doing. And like I said it’s good company for me also makes me feel good that my place is clean and knowing that I didn’t have to hurt myself trying to get it done.
