Caregivers La Jolla CA
Allison’s father was always an extremely private man. Even when she was young and they went swimming or he was doing lawn work, she never saw George without a shirt on. He would even close the bathroom door when he was shaving or combing his hair. Though their relationship was very close, this heightened sense of privacy and modesty made Allison worry about her father as he got older and had increased difficulty handling his personal care on his own.
Her worries came true when her father fell, broke his hip, and lost his ability to live independently. Extremely concerned about his health and safety, Allison decided that he would need full-time care in order to maintain an acceptable quality of life and prevent any more serious accidents. As his only child, she was the only option for creating this care plan for George. She made the decision to transition her father into her own home so that she could be his primary caregiver and allow him to spend more quality time with her children.
While Allison was excited to have her father with her in her home, George immediately started expressing discomfort at the arrangement. He did not want her to help him in the bathroom and would often try to go on his own, resulting in several messes that were embarrassing for both George and Allison. He was particularly horrified at the idea of her helping him shower even though he was incapable of stepping into or out of the shower by himself, and went several days without bathing rather than accepting her help.
Concerned that she was not only failing at giving her father adequate care, but that she was also threatening her parent-child relationship with him, Allison decided it was time to hire help. She called the elder care agency in the area and requested a male caregiver. After meeting John, George agreed he would feel more comfortable allowing a man help him with tasks such as toileting, bathing, and dressing. This restored his comfort and health, eased his stress, and brought back his relationship with Allison and her children.

An in home caregiver is a neutral, professional person, which often puts seniors at ease.
