Our core values include the biblical principles of Love (seeking ones highest good), and the transparency of Truth from life before we become a caregiver, to the how and why we became a caregiver, to how its affected us present day. A unique element that sets us apart from most is that we have a firsthand understanding of the challenges that come with caring for loved ones who require 24-hour assistance in the home. As a caregiver support Hub, we know what it is to have to navigate the many systems linked to home health care: which led us to create a "safe place" to ask questions, ask for information, ask for help or work through the smorgasbord of emotions that come with dealing with the many challenges and responsibilities that come with the role of caregiver.
W.H.Y. Service Center
is a black female-owned Faith Based liaison for the caregiver. We act as a bridge between varies Community information services/hubs and the caregiver .Our goal is to make the world of the aging, bedridden, disabled, and even the homebound child a more comfortable and safer place by supporting the family caregivers and aid workers who take care of them.
We actively promote a culture of wellness and preventive healthcare for our caregivers. Even the family members that are not the most present.
for those that are hands on care most days; most of the 24-hour period It is common knowledge that this can take a toll your physical, emotional, mental and relational health. But do we take into consideration that. long-distance caretakers may still feel scared and nervous even though they may not feel as physically worn out and spent as the hands-on caregiver.
Sometimes, family members who are far away or not the primary feel terrible for not being more present, not doing enough, the guilt from the time between visits, and perhaps even feeling jealous of those who do. Sometimes they may not know where to start.
remember; we cannot read each other's mind and it's never wise to presume other's motives and movements according to our past experiences with our family members. All preferences aside the issue at hand is A+ care for the ones we say we love.
Caregiving is not easy for anyone — not for the caregiver and surly not for the one being cared for. There will be sacrifices and adjustments for everyone, and you may feel that what you are doing is never enough and even all that you do is not seen as important.
Remember that you are doing the best you can given the circumstances and that you can only do what you can do. It may help to know that these are feelings shared by many caregivers.
you are not alone in this.
