Home Care in Cranford NJ
For all intents and purposes, this past winter was incredibly tough for much of the country. Unless a person is living
in the Southwest region of the country, such as Phoenix, Arizona or Southern California, most of the country experienced some incredibly low temperatures and the northern portion of the country and the Northeast saw some incredible amounts of snow.
Now that it’s finally coming to an end, people are looking to spring, the warmer weather, and seeing plenty of opportunities to get outside and feel alive once again. That can make certain jobs or responsibilities take a backseat, even though they shouldn’t. One of those things is home care.
For any individual who is caring for an elderly loved one at home, just because the weather is beginning to warm up, the sun is shining brighter and longer during the day, and all of that snow, ice, and mess is beginning to finally melt away, it’s important to maintain due diligence with regard to safety, security, and maximizing opportunities for the elderly family member who requires this level of assistance.
Family caregivers are often extremely busy and have numerous responsibilities besides just caring for their loved one. It is estimated that the average age of the family caregiver is 46 years old (AARP). They are usually adult children taking care of their senior parent or parents, many have at least one other job or other responsibilities, and the vast majority don’t have any prior experience being this type of caregiver.
Cabin fever is a serious consideration when winters get tough. People who spend most of their time indoors, especially in the same house, such as a senior who requires some type of in home care service, will have an itch to get outside as quickly as possible when the weather begins to turn warm.
A family caregiver may see this opportunity to spend some quality time alone going for a drive, visiting a park, or just getting out and shopping once again, which may not have been feasible with so much snow and cold temperatures.
For any family caregiver who is feeling overwhelmed, is tempted to spend more time doing their own thing now that the weather has turned nice, or is losing focus with regard to the quality of care they offer, it’s time to sit down and talk to the senior in his or her life about hiring professional home care. There are numerous agencies that offer the type of services that will ensure their safety, comfort, and the opportunity to take part in activities they enjoy this spring as well.

After graduating from Seton Hall University with a BS in finance Helping Hands Homecare’s Owner / President, Robert D’Arienzo, went to work on Wall St. for six years. However, after Robert’s grandmother became ill with stomach cancer Robert and his family needed to find assistance in the home for her. After many trials and tribulations Robert could see that there was a great need for quality home care services here in NJ and loved the idea of being able to assist other families who were going through what his family went through with his beloved grandmother.
Thus, Robert had found his passion. After almost a year of preparation Robert opened Helping Hands Homecare in 2003.
