Let Me Introduce Myself

In 1955, I was born right at the heart of the baby boom. My name is Debra Smith and I am writing this blog to help myself and others who are faced or will soon be faced with caring for our elderly parents. Although we may want to be there for our parents when they need us, time and/or distance may make it difficult to do so.

I work for a company that does in-home care for the elderly, Comfort Keepers Senior and Elderly Care in Troy, MO, and have six and a half years of experience in caring for other peoples' parents. This hasn't made it any easier to think about the potential of having to take care of my own parents.

I live a thousand miles from my parents, have a full time job and still have my youngest in college. If something were to suddenly happen to one of my parents it would be difficult to just drop everything and fly back home for any length of time. I know that the first thing I would consider, in the event they needed more help, would be in-home care such as my company provides here in Missouri. The goal should be to keep our parents safe in their own homes among familiar surroundings for as long as possible, in-home care can help us accomplish this goal.

So whether you live close or far, have kids still at home or are empty-nesters, work full time, part time or not at all please take a minute to follow this blog. I am going to be discussing issues concerning our parents and adding links to articles and resources that can help.Please take a minute also, to visit our website
