Live-in Home Care For Seniors

BrightStar Care of Fredericksburg & Springfield Provides Live-in Home Care - Is it the Right Choice For Your Aging Loved One

Aging at Home with a Caregiver is Most Seniors First Choice

When Adult Children are the Caregivers and 24 Hour Care is Needed Caring for a Elderly Parent can be a Challenge.

Sometimes Adult Children give up their careers to take on the job as a caregiver for an aging parent. That was the case for Jennifer Cross, 59, of Boulder who has been taking care of her 95-year-old mother as caregiver for the past three years. Before that, Cross had been working in furniture sales and visiting her mother four or five days a week at the assisted-living facility where she lived. Neither of them liked the facility. So when Cross’s position was eliminated in 2016, she invited her mother to live with her and became her full-time caregiver. “I just figured I could do this,” she says. “I could take care of her, and that would be my job.” Her mother pays her for caregiving, and Cross also works part-time teaching yoga.
