When to Seek Home Care Services
You may be acting as a sole caregiver to a family member and have been struggling with the decision to ask for professional assistance. A nursing home or retirement home may seem like logical options, but the emotional trauma a senior or elderly person endures when leaving their cherished home can be overwhelming to everyone involved. Research has shown that seniors flourish when they remain in their homes with familiar surroundings.
Having someone be with your beloved will ensure peace of mind.

Testimonials
"About 1 year ago when I was taking some very powerful prescribed medicines I felt myself going "downhill". While the medicines were doing there thing against the primary problem they were taking there toll on my general well being. Loss in weight, muscle tone and general strength as well as feeling down.
At that time I joined FAC and decided to work with a trainer and get back to my "young self". I met Paula and we worked out a very simple training program. I told her, I did not want to be Charles Atlas, just wanted to be able to ski, ride my bike, play tennis and walk 18 holes of golf,etc (not in the same day) without getting worn out .
We started slowly once or twice a week and I could feel my energy and stamina coming back. Paula was always cheerful and encouraging and never pushed. The program made me want to keep going. Without Paula I might have quit or "goofed off".
The results are fantastic, for example this week I went alpine skiing 3 days and really skied blues and blacks and felt great. My younger buddies called me the "EverReady Bunny" and really were surprised at my improvement. Life is Super again --I highly recommend Paula.

After having a baby, and trying to get into shape, it was wonderful to have a weekly appointment and know that I was going to be challenged to work hard, that you wouldn't slack off, but wouldn't work me beyond what was too much either.
Hope to see you soon!

"Paula, you are an awesome personal trainer. I so appreciate the attention you give to my overall training goals, including giving me a schedule of workouts for each day of the month, working with me in the weight room and making it harder as I get stronger.
I like being pushed just the right amount and you are able to gauge that perfectly. I appreciate that we are steadily changing my body to be stronger, more shapely, and ultimately healthier.
Thanks!

Paula is a wonderful person and she was excellent as a caregiver for my 90 year old mom.
She was always kind, thoughtful and respectful to both of my parents and she went out of her way to help them.
My mom was very weak after being in a nursing home for 6 weeks when we found Paula to help out to get my mom back home. Paula assisted her with all her ADL’s and worked with her daily on easy exercises to help improve her balance and overall condition. We were thrilled with her progress after only a few months as her balance and mobility were better than they had been in many years. Mom continued to improve and get stronger due to Pula’s commitment to her health. We were all sad when Paula moved but appreciate the fact that she continues to keep in touch and motivate mom through her notes. I would highly recommend Paula as a caregiver and personal trainer for anyone.
