Keeping on Track

It is important for most people to close up the loose ends, get things organized, keep on track and fulfill obligations. Knowing that everything is in place and that there will be no big surprises is often as important as feeling well. In fact, it can make almost anyone feel better, such as the scenario described on this page.

    SCENARIO: Bed Rest Ordered


    Angela is a very busy executive. She is in the second trimester of her first pregnancy—and started to experience cramps and great discomfort. Her doctor ordered bed rest. So Angela stays home in bed most of the time, where she works on a lap top and talks on the phone. Her husband travels frequently on business, so they decided to find someone to help Angela with a variety of tasks.

    The optimum arrangement is to perform tasks that Angela cannot do herself. At the beginning of each weekday, the caregiver calls Angela to establish the day's priorities. First, the caregiver runs errands including picking up documents at Angela's workplace. Then, she arranges or prepares lunch. Afterwards, she tends to the dog and spends the balance of the time on light housekeeping tasks. Click on the links below to learn more about our other types of services.
