Dorothy lived with the 24/7 support of her devoted daughter, embodying the resilience and dedication that family caregiving represents. Despite the loving care, the complexities of balancing full-time caregiving with life’s other responsibilities began to weigh heavily on the family. Seeking a solution to share the load and reintroduce balance, they turned to the personalized care approach inspired by Floor23 Care’s founding principles.

Easing the Caregiving Journey

Understanding the family’s need for support and respite, our approach offered Dorothy and her family more than just assistance; it provided a partnership. Three times a week, we stepped in to offer Dorothy help with daily living tasks—dressing, feeding, and toileting—while also fostering her mental and physical independence. This partnership allowed Dorothy’s daughter and her spouse precious moments to rejuvenate, knowing Dorothy was in caring, capable hands.

Promoting Independence and Choice

Dorothy’s care centered around maintaining and celebrating her autonomy. By engaging her in choices, from her wardrobe to discussions on her favorite TV shows, and supporting her in physical activities at her pace, we helped Dorothy retain a sense of self and agency. These small, yet significant steps ensured Dorothy remained an active participant in her care, embodying our commitment to personalized support.

A Continuing Journey of Support

Today, Dorothy continues to enjoy the balance of family care and professional support, illustrating the impact of compassionate, personalized care. Her ability to express preferences and engage in conversations, no matter how brief, signifies the success of our shared approach in enhancing her quality of life.

A Note of Gratitude and Independence

“Dorothy’s mornings start with choices, reflecting the empowering nature of our care. Her readiness to start the day on her terms reminds us all of the value of independence and communication,” shares a caregiver, highlighting the transformative effect of respect and autonomy in care.
