With 80 percent of middle-aged couples having at least one living parent, many people are learning to adjust to the reversing roles of child and parent by confronting the demands of
caring for those who once took care of them.
Adult daughters typically assume the major responsibilities for parent care giving. For most women, these duties are added to an already full roster, at home, at the office, or both.
Women frequently report that they sacrifice their personal time, privacy, peace of mind, freedom and personal plans to assist her and/or his elderly parents. Some people assume
responsibility because they feel able and willing. Others feel bound by duty.
It's8217;s estimated that up to seven million women are unpaid caregivers to the elderly. They struggle to cope with the exhaustion, loneliness, mental and physical demands, and
heartbreak of watching a loved one grow weaker. They need help desperately.
CareGivers America provides an affordable solution for older individuals or couples capable of managing their physical needs, but who require non-medical assistance, light housework,
transportation, meal preparation and/or companionship in order to remain in their own home.
One-on-one service to the company's8217;s clients are performed by the CareGivers who are thoroughly screened, bonded, and insured. Special attention is given to matching caregivers with
clients to achieve the utmost compatibility. According to Paul Bartoletti, owner of CareGivers America, their services can be arranged for as little as one hour a day or for as many as 24
hours, seven days a week. Short term assistance or longer term care is available, including holidays.
When a potential client calls, a meeting will be arranged with the client and his or her family to discuss what services are needed. 's8220;Cost is on an hourly basis so hours can be
decreased or increased on changing needs,'s8221; Mr. Bartoletti says.
Mr. Bartoletti has extensive experience working with the elderly since he owned and operated personal care homes for over 15 years. Mr. Bartoletti states 's8220;Since I owned personal
care home, I knew from talking with my residents that many of them would have preferred to stay longer in their own homes if they could have just received a little help.'s8221; 's8220;I
truly believe that given the option we all would rather stay in our own homes or apartments instead of going into a facility.'s8221;
In over four years he has grown his business to cover of northeast Pennsylvania with seven offices and over 500 clients. The mission of CareGivers America is to accelerate the pace of
in-home care to the elderly allowing them to stay independent longer. Mr. Bartoletti is proud to announce the opening of his Allentown office under the management of Cindy Mack, located
at Liberty Plaza on Liberty Street in Allentown. With the opening of this new office, this mission will be accomplished for residents of the Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon Counties.
