Find out about the stories of our proteges

Jean's mom from Co. Cork needed a guardian, because her dementia made it impossible for her to live alone:

We had a crisis in June, when mom fell and was hospitalized. At that point it became clear, that my mother was no longer able to live independently. Unfortunately, because no one in the family lived nearby, we thought, that we have no other choice, as soon as you look for a suitable nursing home.

My sister stumbled upon ALH while searching. I didn't think so, that is an option for us, because mom has dementia. It has been proven, I'm wrong. Guardian, which was paired with mom, I think it's sent straight by God. While mom still didn't want anyone home, however, she took advantage of having a carer, especially at night, when mom tends to be anxious. It's a vicious circle: when he starts to worry, does not sleep well, and her dementia worsens. Overall, I noticed a marked improvement in her condition. This option allowed the mother to continue living in her own home longer, than we thought, it was possible. Every month, when mom stays in her own home, it is a reward and great peace of mind for the whole family. Mum's carer is very nice and we are impressed with the way, how she deals with her mother, especially when mom is having a bad day. Seems, that he is able to handle such a situation very well.

Mom's carer is with her now 3 months, or 3 months, about which I did not think, that mom would be home. I recommend this service to families looking for an alternative to a nursing home.

Kevin, who is blind, needed a tutor, to live with him in his home in Co.. Limerick:

Four years ago my son Kevin (52 patch) had a severe seizure. Kevin's doctor recommended, so that he will no longer be alone at home at night. As a family, we have been trying for many years to find a competent care agency, that would take care of Kevin's needs at night. We saw an advertisement in the newspaper about ALH and completed an application form. We were matched to you, which more than meets our needs. She is an excellent guardian and is helpful in every way. Kevin's life has changed, and the ALH staff was very helpful, they even organized a replacement for our carer, when she was on vacation for two weeks.

The Conway family in Limerick needed a carer for their mother with Alzheimer's and their brother with Down's syndrome:

Our family is delighted with our carer from Poland, which came to us through ALHomecare. Our mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease and lives with our brother, who has Down's syndrome. Things got difficult, when our mom would often get up at night and get confused.

Ewa is a caring person, compassionate and professional, who has become part of our family.

I would have no hesitation in recommending ALHomecare to other families, because our cooperation was very successful.

The O'Driscoll family in Dublin and Cork needed a carer for their mother in County Cork:

From the first phone call, ALHomecare has expressed a sincere desire to be found
solutions, which would be best for us. The ALH style was professional, but warm, because they cooperated with us, to identify our care needs and find the right caregiver. They acted fast, but we never felt rushed and showed remarkable knowledge of the personal characteristics of the caregivers, which they proposed. We were lucky to have a tutor, who quickly became a friend of the family. Teresa cared for our mother with all the kindness and gentleness of a family member.

Teresa was always careful, Okay, full of humor, patient and hardworking, and put my mother's comfort and happiness at the top of her priority list. Teresa cared for my mother, as if she were her own mother.

The Cassin family in County Dublin needed a caregiver for their elderly father:

We used ALHomecare, to find a full-time carer for our father. We discovered, that they are very professional. They are quick and polite, and most of all friendship, in all contacts with our family. Of course, they put a lot of effort into finding a suitable guardian for our father, that would suit his personality. Both our father, and our family are very pleased with this, how things turned out and we would not hesitate to recommend this company to others.
