I’m exhausted! My parents need help, my kids need help, I am working full-time and need some time to myself.

Does this describe you? You embody the Sandwich Generation; you want to support everyone which leaves little time for yourself. 

This is why community support is so important. How can you get your parents some help without them feeling you’re abandoning them? How can you convince your previously independent Mother to accept help from someone other than you?

At Shylo, we have over 40 years of experience supporting families through these transitions.

We find the easiest, most effective way to find some relief is to start slow. Instead of saying yes to taking time off work to drive your Mom to every appointment, let her know that you’ll contact Shylo to have one of our mature and experienced Companion drivers help her out. 

While assuring your Mom that she is still managing her home, and her meals nutritious, you can gently suggest that she have a Shylo Homemaker come in to help her with the heavier chores such as changing the bed linens, the weekly laundry and floor cleaning. As little as four hours a month can get her comfortable  having someone around the house and for her to see just how helpful it is.

 

From this place of comfort with having help as needed, care can increase. The Shylo Home Healthcare care team range from Homemakers and Companions, to highly trained Home Support Workers, and all staff and clients receiver complementary RN Support and supervision. 

Shylo Caregivers can help with basic housekeeping and meal preparation, all the way through Palliative Care to ensure a smooth transition as your loved one ages in place in their community.
