Long-Term Care Insurance and VA Benefits 101

Amada Senior Healthcare "America's trusted resource for caregiving and long-term care insurance claims advocacy In-Home Health Care Eric vanGoethem, owner of Amada Senior Care Dallas, has made it his mission to help seniors live safely and comfortably in the comfort of their own homes. Eric deeply empathizes with families who have experienced the vulnerability and uncertainty of seeing a loved one battle a disease. He watched his father quickly deteriorate from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Diseasea rare, degenerative prion disease that attacks the brain and is always fatal. Eric says, I watched my mom become my dads caregiver and saw the toll that it took on her physically and emotionally while trying to still be the loving, supporting wife that she had been over 40 yearsit drained her for years to come. Had we known and understood the benefits of in-home caregivers at the time, I know we would have navigated that difficult time of transition more smoothly. Chief Operating Officer Sabrina vanGoethems own family experiences sparked her interest in making a difference in seniors lives. She is inspired by her mother, who has been working as a caregiver for years in San Antonio. Hearing her mothers stories of feeling fulfilled by her work and witnessing her passion for being a caregiver, Sabrina developed her enthusiasm for providing in-home senior care. Says Sabrina, I just loved hearing her stories from her clientsthey have experienced much change in their lives, and it was fascinating to listen. Find the Most Outstanding In-Home Health Care for Your Loved One Providing care for your aging loved one is important but can place a significant burden on your day-to-day life.
