“I’ve lived all my life in this house and I am not going to move in with you and your family! I want to die where I lived,” said my fiercely independent 91 year old mother. I picked up my cell phone and called PALS. Mom now has a PALS caregiver that comes in morning, noon, and night to help her cooking, errands, housekeeping, medication reminders, and safety checks. “Get this, Mom has taught the caregiver how to can string beans and crochet. Ain’t she something?”

Hospice Care
I saw my parents sitting in the background and my grandpa in the forefront when I walked into the hospital room. Grandpa’s head was tilted slightly back, eyes staring straight, mouth open. The room was cold, barren, and stark. I knew that body in the bed wasn’t my Grandpa, just a shell, a shadow of the man he was. He died, not alone, but in a place that did not bespoke of love, life, and being. That day, I knew that to die at home is best. PALS will walk the journey of end of life care with you.

Dementia/Alzheimer’s Care
Fifty-three years of marriage and Herald doesn’t know my name. Herald’s body is going strong but his mind is ravaged by dementia. I can’t get him in the shower and change his Depends anymore but my PALS caregiver can. She showers and shaves Herald, puts on clean Depends, and dresses Herald for the day. Then we sit together on the front porch and enjoy the New Mexico sunshine. With PALS, I keep my promise to Herald that I made 53 years ago— that I would love, honor, and cherish him until death do us part.

Transportation
“What’s a few dents and dings on my new car’s bumper? That’s what it’s for.” Well, my adult kids didn’t buy it, and now my new car sits idle in the garage with the keys hidden. I called Partners Assisted Living Services and they get me where I want to go, when I want to go. I’m a great co-pilot and I haven’t given up trying to convince the kids that bumpers are for bumping.

PALS CAN!
Scientists have published studies that prove that it is aerodynamically impossible for the bumble bee to fly. The bumble bee’s wings are too light and its body is too heavy. However, the bumble bee doesn’t read – it just flies. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the care needs of a loved one or yourself, and you can’t handle it for one more moment, call Partners Assisted Living Services. Just like the bumble bee, PALS CAN! LiveWell! HomeCare.
