Mr. Patel, a 81-year-old retired teacher, was diagnosed with dementia. His wife, Rohini, was his primary caregiver, but she found it challenging to balance caregiving responsibilities with her own needs.
As Mr. Patel’s condition progressed, Rohini struggled to cope with the physical and emotional demands of caregiving. She felt isolated and alone, unsure of how to navigate the complex world of dementia care.
Their son, Raj, who lived nearby, tried to help as much as he could. However, he had his own family and career commitments, and he couldn’t be there all the time. That’s when he began searching for a caregiving service that could provide specialized dementia care.
Raj found Shalaam Care, and we matched Mr. Patel with a trained caregiver, David. David had extensive experience in dementia care and was knowledgeable about the latest care techniques and strategies.
David provided personalized care, engaging Mr. Patel in activities that stimulated his mind and promoted his well-being. He also helped Rohini with caregiving tasks, giving her much-needed breaks and respite.
With David’s support, Rohini was able to take care of herself again. She no longer felt overwhelmed and isolated, and she was grateful for the opportunity to recharge and refocus.
“Shalaam Care has been a lifeline for our family,” said Raj. “David is an amazing caregiver, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his support and expertise.”
These stories demonstrate the positive impact that Shalaam Care can have on families. Our caregivers are dedicated, compassionate, and experienced, and we’re committed to providing the highest quality care to our clients.
