I am currently using the services of the wonderful folks at Supportelders.com for my elderly parents- one of them is above 70 years and the other one is above 80 years. Both of them suffer from serious nerve-disorder related diseases because of which they need constant care and assistance in their day to day lives.
I live in the US and am not able to visit them as frequently as it is required. Hence, I reached out to Support Elders community and they are helping me to run errands for my parents, provide them with a companion to talk to, enquire about their well-being everyday, have a smart-watch ready at home to be used for an emergency phone call in case of need.
The field staff are very responsible and reliable and they go out of their way to help them live a smooth life with dignity at that stage of their life when basic chores like visiting grocery stores and doctor’s dispensary can be physically straining.
Once a chore that needs to be done for my parents are reported to them, they usually do it efficiently and timely. I don’t have to worry about reminding them about it or to follow up on it.
I should also mention that the fee charged by Support Elders might seem a bit steep at the beginning, however, the peace and comfort that I feel by knowing the fact that there is someone in Kolkata who can be held accountable for managing the daily chores of my parents’ lives makes it all worth it.
