Challenges and Solutions for Adult…

Being an adult caregiver was one of the most challenging jobs I have ever had ! As my parents aged and eventually passed away taught me may lessons that I now have a passion for sharing with other people caring for an aging loved one. These lessons also helped me guide the development of my personal care/private duty company, Caregiving Experts. I know from personal experiences how important having a professional caregiver available is people care for an aging loved one!.

My personal experiences also inspired me to write a book called “A Son’s Journey: Taking Care of Mom and Dad.” The book is a guide for adult caregivers. My hope in this book is through humorous stories, tragic experiences and life changing events you will be better able and equipped to care for your loved ones when needed. I share strategies, approaches and resources that will make your journey successful as you deal with your aging parents or a loved one. Learning how to talk to your aging loved one is an Art and specific approaches and phraseology are given. Learn about the signs of caregiver burn out and how to manage them. Caregiver burn out that goes unchecked can be more damaging then you think. I will give specific criteria you can follow on how to locate and hire a reliable and qualified Personal Care Home Health Company. There are many horror stories out there about families who have made big mistakes. I dedicate one chapter to how falls are the major killer of seniors and how to prevent them. And another chapter on the gift of hospice.

As nurse and health care professional I recognize the important of having the support and resources required to care for a loved who needs assistance and care. My mission is to help adult caregivers any way possible make their journey a successful one. I offer you to give me a call if I can be of assistance. My number is 734.658.6162. And my home care company is available to you as a community resource to lend any support you need.

Lastly, if you are interested in learning more about my journey as an adult caregiver, “A Son’s Journey: Taking Care of Mom and Dad” is available on Amazon,

Author: Caregiving Experts

“This is a great place to work for. Management is easy to work with they are willing to lend and hand or ear when he comes to frustration, conflicts or any struggles you may have. This company is very understanding when it comes to worker or client’s needs and wants.”

Joey M.Caregiver

“We needed 24/7 care for my father who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. We needed caregivers and we needed them within a week. Karen Boshell and the Caregiving Experts team work hard putting together a team of caregivers for us. Although we ended up putting my father in a memory care facility, we appreciate all the effort they put into trying to help us.”

George G.

“The administrative staff at Caregiving Experts are good to work with. They communicated well with me to keep consistent coverage for helping our family with our Mom. I worked with 5 caregivers from there. Four of them provided excellent service. I think this proves that their training and selection process for their caregivers is probably pretty darn good.”

“Finding Caregivers who are willing to work during this pandemic has been so challenging. The staff at Caregiving Experts have been so helpful and responsive.”

“Karen B. is both highly professional, caring, and easy to discuss ANY medical matter. We didn’t make a connection today, due to a more practical needs, family approach, for my mother. Nevertheless, we found both her experience and knowledge, and caring for the elderly patient, Incredibly detailed, and every wit compassionate. With it! In a 2 hour meeting, Karen responded to EVERY question, and possible concern we might have. Possibly, see you in the future.”

“Caregiving Experts took great care of my aunt. They are trained in end of life care and they have a fantastic Quality Assurance Care Manager who worked side by side with the Hospice Company to coordinate care services and provide the best quality caregivers. I would highly recommend them for any family who is looking for peace of mind that their loved one is being treated with dignity and respect.”

Justin B.

“My mom is almost 92 years young. And, I am so happy that Barb is my mom’s caregiver, she is more like a friend to my mom than a caregiver. Our family is blessed to have Barb in my mom’s life .Karen is always very prompt with replying to any of my questions or concerns.”

Gayle C.

“I was desperate to find care for my mom when I called Caregiving Experts. They did an intake that same day and had someone out to my mom’s place within 3 hours. The caregivers were professional and did a great job. They were very flexible with their hours and followed-up when they said they would. Thank you Karen and staff!!!”
