This is an interesting Dallas Morning News story of a woman who spent 10 years caring for her elderly mother and FIL, then launched a company to be…
A one-stop caregiver for the elderly
[Janet Houston’s] two-month-old Dallas company, AssuraSource, can do everything from organizing a senior's bill-paying to finding a nursing home to developing a comprehensive care plan for a parent living alone.
Ms. Houston said she doesn't want others to go through what she did when she cared for her mother and her husband's father.
"I often didn't know where to turn for help," she said. "I just wanted somebody to step in and take charge."
"Families who come to us don't have to go any further," Ms. Houston said. "We help them determine what kinds of care they need, and then we provide it ourselves. Call it the soup-to-nuts approach to caregiving."
I was very impressed by the business this lady has launched…until this last quote:
Professional caregivers can also give family members the peace of mind to enjoy their time with their parents, Ms. Houston said.
"When you're with Mom, you don't want to worry about finding a plumber to fix her leaky roof."
Anyone see a problem here?
