Savvy Caregiver

By Patti Haddick, Director of Home Services - On a plane ride flight attendants instruct passengers to place the oxygen mask on themselves first and then help others with theirs. The same is true for anyone caring for a loved one. Take care of yourself first in order to have more to give your loved one. [...]

Thank you so much for letting me borrow the wheelchair. It was a huge help when I got home from the hospital! It is a wonderful service that you do. I'm feeling much better now.

My prayers were answered when I was referred to St. John’s Community Care. I had to find home care for my mentally challenged brother who could not walk well or speak. I had a full time job and needed someone for 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I tried several other home care facilities before St. John’s and they did not work out. The day I met the caregiver director from St. John’s, I knew it was the one. I have been using St. John’s for home care for over 12 years. They have made my life so much easier and my brother continues to be happy with their care. In 2011 my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It was determined that he could stay at home but needed to attend a day program to keep his mind active. St. John’s was there to help me again. He enjoys the activities and seeing all the friends he has made since joining the group. In addition to the care services, they also provided me with additional resources that give me more balance and hope. I cannot say enough great things about St. John’s Community Care and all their services. It is like being part of a caring and loving family.

We would like to let you know how grateful we are for the care provided by St. John's Adult Day Care. Your service was an answer to our prayers. Due to the death of her grandmother, we were in need of someone to care for Joni as both of us work. Joni was comfortable from the first time she visited and loved her time spent there. All of the staff were kind and caring and we knew Joni was happy and well cared for. Joni is adjusting well to her new environment, but misses everyone at St. John's. With Deep Appreciation, God's Blessings, Lon & Chris Fears

It is difficult to express how we feel about the care St. John's staff provided. Words are so inadequate. Please know we are forever grateful for the gentleness, humor, compassion and professionalism with which you and your staff have cared for our family. Sincerely, Kent and Colleen

St. John’s has been wonderful! They are doing saintly work. When you love someone you want the best for them. When mom started having a few issues, I started checking out options. I really felt like a parent trying to find a trustworthy babysitter for a child. You don’t just hand off your child to anyone… because they cannot report. I am really fussy. I just want to know she is taken care of the way I would take care of her. Making sure she is safe, loved and treated with dignity. I found that kind of care with St. John’s Adult Day program. I can continue to work and take care of my personal needs while mom attends the program. I appreciate all the thought that goes into the program. They have entertainment, games, exercise, arts & crafts, and lots of social stimulation. All of these therapies are created to be fun experiences that are valuable to keeping her engaged and certainly add quality to her life. I love knowing she is “part of the family” at St. John’s. It makes my heart happy to know her time left here on earth can be meaningful and loving. I could go on and on! When you deeply love your parents, you want the best for them. I am so blessed to have a place like St. John’s so I can relax. Tom and Cheryl Mines
