Hello friends:

Many of you know that Caring Companions is active in the Parkinson’s (PD) community both from a volunteer perspective and in caring for families. Much of our dialogue with families revolves around falls and that it is not if they happen, but when. So, we wanted to share some information from the American Parkinson’s Disease Association on falls and PD:

Be safe out there and, as always, feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions about PD or care specific to those living with the disease.

 

Caring Companions is Growing!

Anyone that knows Caring Companions knows that we are in a relentless pursuit of delivering quality care to the families we serve. Because of that, we are very picky in deciding how and when we grow our team. Hiring decisions need to reflect that pursuit!

Every once in a while, an opportunity presents itself. This is one of those times. We believe the newest addition to our team aligns exceptionally well with our vision. We are happy to announce that, starting August 14, 2024, Paige Vohs will be joining our team as Director of Strategic Growth and Family Services. Paige’s passion for helping families and her presence in the geriatric community will be pivotal to our continued success.

Paige brings a wealth of experience and many of you know her as the face of NaborForce here in Atlanta. That experience will pay off in spades as she helps us grow our business and deliver superior customer and caregiver experiences.

We hope you will do us the favor of welcoming Paige to the team!

As always, the biggest compliment we could ever receive is giving us the opportunity to impress a new family in need!

Adam and the team at Caring Companions of Atlanta.

You have been paying for years for a long-term care policy and your rainy day has finally come. What is in the policy? What is an elimination period? How do I qualify? Who do I call? Why do I need a doctor’s note? What should it say? What are care notes and a care plan?

Long term care insurance policies can be a huge help in covering costs when the rainy day comes. Unfortunately, long-term care policies can be complex and the diversity in what they cover and how you qualify for coverage can be daunting.

However, there is good news! Most policies are not very difficult to understand once you understand the terminology and know what provisions in the policy affect benefits. We can help you understand and interpret your benefits and guide you on what you need to ask your insurance company. We have navigated long term care insurance companies for 10 years and can help figure out what steps to take.

So, if your rainy day has come and you are feeling daunted by “what do I do now?”, give us a call. We will be happy to help make the process more understandable and a little less painful.

“While I hope I don’t ever have to use your services again…it is very comforting to know there is Caring Companions that we know we can call and trust.” HS

Dear Paul and the team at Caring Companions, I am calling to say thank you. I wanted to let you know that your nurses (CNAs) were truly professional and caring which is no easy task when caring for a person with advanced dementia. Having the support of your entire team and not just a caregiver was huge for our family.

While I hope I don’t ever have to use your services again…it is very comforting to know there is Caring Companions that we know we can call and trust. Please thank your whole team for us.

I really appreciate everything you guys did for our family.
