Thanks to Physicians Choice Private Duty, the children can rest assured that their parents are safe, who are happy they were able to still remain in their home of nearly 70 years.

Klaus Family

An elderly woman moved to Omaha to live with her daughter. She had been failing at home because of dementia and was in need of in-home care. The daughter, able to act as primary caregiver but unsure of where to start, called Physicians Choice Private Duty for help. A safe plan was put in place that allowed the mother to remain at home, with her daughter by providing medication management, social outings, activities, transportation to appointments and meal preparations. Pre-planning was also completed to find the appropriate long term care facility when/if needed.

Garcia Family

The family of an elderly woman was concerned about her driving abilities and her memory loss. They consulted with Physicians Choice Private Duty who in turn helped find a geriatric specialist who discovered that her confusion and inability to focus was due to her medication.
