Spring brings new energy & excitement but also new challenges for sandwich generation caregivers, shuffling between raising kids and caring for aging parents.
Between family activities, school events, sports and the growing needs of aging parents, this season can feel extra busy.
Remember, it’s okay to ask for help! 🌷
Our caregivers are ready to jump in where you need us!

Car transfers (getting your loved one in & out) can be tricky and stressful for family caregivers.
2nd Family - Main Line Owner & Director of Nursing, Emily Glowacki, RN, BSN recommends two helpful tools to assist:
❶ Stander Handy Bar (linked in the comments below)
The HandyBar provides users with stability and balance when standing or sitting from the car; compatible with most vehicles, the handle fits parallel to your car when inserted into a U-shaped door striker or latch; no modifications required
❷ Swivel Seat Cushion (linked in the comments)
The Swivel seat cushion is specially designed for people with inconvenient mobility, the elderly, or those with limited lower limb mobility. The rotating car seat can achieve smooth and easy turns in any direction, helping users get on and off the car, or transfer from bed to a chair or wheelchair without the need to twist the patient's body.
There are some great adaptive tools out there to help family caregivers. When we find ones we love, we'll share them!

Founded by Friends with a shared core value...Family
Friends for over 20 years, 2nd Family Main Line founders, Sean Killeen & Emily Glowicki RN, BSN, recently discovered each of our grandmothers required in-home care. Sean’s grandmother, Eileen, lovingly known as “Minxie,” suffered from a stroke and needed 24-7 care for over 16 years. Emily’s grandmother, Mary, lovingly known as “Grams,” suffered from Alzheimer’s for over 6 years.
Our families worked tirelessly, for years, arranging family and caregivers schedules. We dealt with call-outs, complicated medical care, in-home care, and overall scheduling logistics that, ultimately, created round the clock work for many family members.
Together, we wanted to create a solution that offers families the highest quality care to relieve the burden for families going through similar experiences. Watching our families’ hard work and dedication to our grandmothers created the foundation for our 3-pronged approach to home-care:
1.) Highest quality, expertly trained caregivers who are reliable & compassionate
2.) RN Care Coordinators managing day-to-day care & client experience
3.) Family Portal - The latest mobile technology to keep families informed at all times
For Emily, 2nd Family’s Director of Nursing, becoming a nurse with a specific passion to care for the elderly was fueled by her grandmother’s struggle. 15 years of nursing experience both in the hospital and the out-patient setting gave her the skills to provide and recognize exceptional professional care. 2nd Family Main Line was born out of this knowledge and helped identify the keys to exemplary care, skilled communication, collaboration, and caregivers committed to life-long learning and compassion. Compelled to help others and to fill the void in quality home care, 2nd Family Main Line offers our client families the peace of mind and expert care that their loved ones deserve.
