Q: My mother does not want to have someone in her home. She is very independent and has been fighting this discussion. How do I talk her into this? A: It’s common for individuals who are independent to resist the idea of in-home care. At SKR, we focus on fostering trust and building a relationship with the client. We can approach the situation gradually, explaining how our caregivers can help preserve her independence while ensuring her safety and well-being. Our caregivers are compassionate and trained to support clients while respecting their autonomy.
Q: My parents are ready for the next stage of their lives. They still live in the home I grew up in; how does this process even begin? A: Transitioning to the next stage of care can feel overwhelming, but SKR is here to guide you through the process.

Whether it’s companion care, assistance with daily activities, or more specialized care, we can provide solutions that allow your parents to remain in the comfort of their own home.
