THE HOME HELPERS STORY, BY BETH DOW

I know firsthand what it means to be an elder care partner.

In 1938, William D. Pruitt wanted to marry Lucille Parker. She’d had a child out of wedlock, and in 1938. that was a huge disgrace. His family told him they would disown him if he married “that woman,” but he did it anyway, out of love. He adopted that child and raised her as his own. That child was my mother.

My granddaddy was a big man. He was my hero, and I never doubted his love for me. He used to tell me that when I was born I was the prettiest baby girl in the nursery. He would then smile and say, “Now you were also the only girl in the nursery, but you were still the prettiest.”

In 2013, my husband joined my elder care business, and we are a family-run home care assistance business and a large extended family made up of our caregivers who we believe are the best trained, most compassionate in- home senior care caregivers in the industry.

In the beginning my goal was to give families and their loved ones the ability to age in place. We have succeeded in that goal and are now offering education, and a full suite of resources for seniors and family caregivers, and we leading our community in elder care support.

My Grandfather Provided Elderly Dementia Care to My Grandmother

Fast-forward 60 years, and my grandfather had taken on the role of elderly caregiver for my grandmother who had Alzheimer’s. How he loved that woman. She ended up living in a nursing home so my grandfather could get some rest, but he would still go there every morning and have breakfast with her. He would then take her on a ride around town, they would eat lunch, nap at home and he would take her back and eat dinner with her and tuck her in bed at night. My grandmother called him a “good Joe” and “the man who takes care of me.”

As many elderly family caregivers do, my grandfather died before my grandmother. His body just flat wore out.

Without Options, Another Family Member in Assisted Living

Not long after his death, and my grandmother’s death, my father-in-law a veteran was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia. He was a handful too much of a handful for my mother-in-law, who started looking into assisted-living options, and ultimately placed him in a nursing home that provided care for veterans, where he later died.

We hated for him to go to a nursing home, but we didn’t know what else to do. At the time, we didn’t have information about the Aid and Attendance Benefit, that helps veterans and their families pay for in-home elder care. We had children, and we had jobs. Even if we’d had time to take care of him ourselves, we didn’t know how.

A New Calling: Providing In-Home Elderly Assistance

It was shortly after this that I started looking for a way for families to get support during their loved ones’ long-term illnesses.

I didn’t know of any companies that provided elderly care services that truly helped families, but I knew that I wanted to offer services like that to families just like mine. A friend led me to the elder care resources on the Home Helpers website. To my delight, here was a home health care provider that did just what I was looking for. So, in 2006, I launched Home Helpers Georgia and Alabama.

The rest, as they say, is history.
