Watching a loved one struggle with Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, can be heart-rending for family members. Watching a parent or spouse go from being an independent, mature adult to not remembering the names of family members is extremely difficult.

Taking care of a person with Dementia or Alzheimer’s, is usually very stressful for families. Research by Blom et al (2013) documented family care providers are at risk for depression.

Several studies conducted over the years, have reported that relocation of Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients, negatively affects their health as well as their physical- and fuctional well-being. It is thus best to avoid changing the environment of people with Dementia or Alzheimers, by not relocating them.

Respite care is designed to allow family members to take a step back from being the caregiver themselves. This is where Nel Homecare comes in. By placing a qualified caregiver with your loved one, institutionalization of the Dementia or Alzheimer’s patient is prevented and the patient’s spouse / child don’t have to take on the role as the caregiver.

Our homecare services are affordable and are tailor-made to every patient’s individual needs.

Today we would like to thank our caregivers. They are all heroes in this difficult times.

One of our caregivers testimony:
Care giving as it is help , direct care given to people who can not help themselves.

When someone hear this term’ a caregiver’ it might sound easy or difficult but it’s actually more about how the people you are helping feels. Their smiles, their happiness, the look of gratitude into their eyes, that “thank you “ it makes my heart to melt. It satisfies me knowing that my time and energy makes a difference in someone else’s life.
I think I started doing care giving since i was 10yrs old. I used to love helping my grandma cutting her nails, doing her hair, scratching her back and massaging her feet. You know there was always a reward for that as you know how our grannies are , a chocolate or a sweet. Little did I know that I was grooming myself for now. Everyday is different every patient is different. With different care and different needs but they all need same love, understanding, help applied differently.
Care giving it’s such a rewarding experience it taught me to have patience with everyone, kids, loved ones and myself. It made me realise that I have so much love in helping the vulnerable ones and it keeps me want to do more and help more patients with different difficulties.
Like these days the whole world in on pause “ lockdown “ . Most of our patients have been on lockdown for weeks, months or years. Imagine the frustration, the stress, why me , they have in their minds. And not forgetting the pain they feel everyday. They miss what they used to in their everyday lives, going out having a glass of wine with their friends or family. It will make them behave different it’s not because they want to but no. It’s actually how they are feeling inside. By being a good listener, friend, someone who understands how my parents are going through at that moment makes my work easier and more interesting. It’s an everyday learning experience it’s for someone with an understanding heart, a loving and caring person.
It might sound easy but it’s not, it all depends on how much love you have in doing what you are doing. Did you open your heart in learning more and understanding the pain others have and knowing you are there for them in every help they need.
I love my job my work. I am a caregiver from heart because I help from inside out. “What you give is what you get” , one of my patients taught me this. And am applying it into my everyday work, duties and at home. - Caregiver 4

Caregiver Testimoney Number 3:
What I love about homecare job is that you experience lots of things, different people who can not help themselves on how to help them on their conditions, this job gave a lots of strength not to fear any condition I phase to those who can not help themselves it can be old people or disable people it even helps me to know how to help if some of my relatives are old or can not help themselves with anything, for example if 1of my relative experience bed sores or any conditions I can help them with my experience I got when working with different people that can not help themselves, it means alot to me to help those who can't manage to help themselves and its a blessing, it doesn't need anything just your heart, patience and perseverance a careworker is everything some of the people they don't have anyone to talk to but with careworker's present they can talk to them and get consolation in an respectful difference ways.

As part of our Caregiver Testimony week, here is another testimony:
"I chose to be a Homecarer because i naturally have the urge to help others and make a difference in their lives,especially the vulnerable.I love my job because it is so rewarding knowing how when i started with a patient,they were at their lowest,all hope lost & about to give up until i came into their lives & showed acts of kindness & reminded them of how special they are....that smile of gratitude from a patient is priceless.For me, it creates an everlasting bond as i would've been entrusted with a patient's life & that because of my love & compassion,they are healed & feel hopeful once again.It makes me feel proud & blessed at the same time that i made a difference & it means everything to me." - Carer 2.

Another testimony from one of our clients:
Dear Ronel,

I can recommend Emelda with open arms to any client. This lady is sent straight from heaven to work with the elderly. Her patience and the soft touch that she displays when working with my 82 year old mother, who is sometimes very impatient and so slow in all her actions, is commendable. During the various phases of my mother’s illnesses (normally after operations, long periods in hospital or general weakening of her condition) the way Emelda handled my mother was unseen in any of the at least eight carers (from another agency) which looked after my mother. The relation and trust that she has developed with my mother is one of a psychologist, psychiatrist, pastor and friend!

Emelde has become a legend in my mother’s circle of friends as well. On the good days when Emelda went shopping/to the hairdresser /to the prayer group with my mother she also started to take care of all the elderly people collecting or associating with my mother. My mothers’ friends came to visit her more frequently at home because of Emelda’s tea and cookies which she serves after accompanying the visitors from their cars!!!

Emelda’s work ethic was impeccable and she was always at work punctual even in times when I was aware that her family went through great difficulty during the Mamelodi floods!

Ronel, you have star here!

Tyd vir ons kliënt om te deel oor wat Nel Homecaring vir hulle beteken.
(Ons kliënte se privaatheid is belangrik en daarom word name nie gedeel nie. )

‘n Dogter van ‘n pasiënt in Selrose Park Aftree Oord:

Ek kan regtig Nel Tuisversorging met ‘n oop gemoed aanbeveel. Die agentskap is uiters behulpsaam, het begrip vir omstandighede, is simpatiek en is bereid om aan te pas by die pasiënt se behoeftes.

Die versorgers is baie netjies en goed opgelei. Hulle kan op enige tydstip aan die familie verslag doen oor die pasiënt se toestand en dit verskaf aan die familie gemoedsrus dat hul die familie dadelik sal inlig indien daar veranderinge intree wat dringende aandag vereis.

Ek kan regtig sê dat ek enige tyd vrymoedigheid het om Ronel te kontak en die feit dat sy regtig onmiddellik antwoord en LUISTER maak dit vir my aangenaam om met haar as agent te praat.
