Family, Friends, Loved Ones

Life’s daily priorities are in constant flux, but the importance of our loved ones is steadfast. After all, life and living is ultimately about people and the relationships that we have with them. But when illness or injury strike or when the physical limits of aging take their toll, that sense of self-reliance can be overwhelmed by stress, frustration and isolation.

Bette Care is ready to put you back in control.

Bette Care is a different kind of Elder Care Company. Through our three distinct service offerings, Home Care, Geriatric Care Management and Senior Counseling, we serve our clientele as they address the issues and complications often associated with advancing age.

Take a minute and ask yourself a few questions.

  • Do you live far away from your loved one, who needs assistance, now, and you can’t be there?
  • Do you live close to your loved one, but you are working full time and are concerned about them while you can’t be there?
  • Do you take care of your loved one on a daily basis and find yourself getting burned out?
  • Has your loved one’s condition changed recently, but you do not know why or what you should do about it?
  • Is it obvious to everyone but your loved one that he needs help?
  • Are you up to your ears trying to keep the bills straight and fight medical insurance battles?
  • Are you worried about your parent’s memory, judgment or change in mood?
  • Do you worry that your loved one may not be safe or secure where he or she lives?
  • Do you wish that someone could coordinate the communications between all of your loved one’s doctors?
  • Do you need assistance identifying your loved one’s personal obstacles in order to maximize your emotional and financial resources?

Whether you are in the middle of a crisis or simply trying to avert a looming crisis in the future, Bette Care can offer you the expertise and support to get you through.
