Companion Care:

"My mom is 89, and has had Alzheimer's for 12 years. Dad, 87, recently fell and broke his hip. They needed assistance, but we didn't want to uproot them to a rehabilitation center. We needed to address our parents' acute medical needs, but it was really important for their overall well-being that they remain happy. After 65 years of marriage, we felt they'd do best living at home with competent, compassionate caregivers.

"Both my parents felt immediately comfortable with their Fedelta caregivers, and we were relieved to hand over daily responsibilities to their capable hands. Our caregivers are so well-matched to my parents' needs, both medically and personally, we feel we could adopt them as honorary daughters for our parents! Without an ounce of hesitation, we recommend Fedelta to anyone needing the best care for loved ones."

Home Care and Nursing Care:

"My friend and mentor is a retired college professor who had a passion for the arts and traveling abroad. Her lifestyle changed dramatically a few years ago, when she had a massive stroke and was then diagnosed with dementia. Her siblings in Norway encouraged her to sell her home and move into an adult family home, but she is independent and wanted to remain at home. She enlisted my help to find a qualified company that could provide both nursing care and companion-care services.

"Fedelta has been helping my friend for the past three years, looking out for her best interests and bringing her joy. I can count on them for progress updates, and they respond quickly when changes occur. Fedelta delivers compassionate, quality care not only to the elder client, but also to their loved ones."

Live-In Home Care:

"I am a registered nurse and a care manager, and also a daughter. When my mother broke her arm and needed a caregiver with her around-the-clock, we were referred to Fedelta. They provided caregivers on very short notice, as we were a little desperate. My finicky mother adored her caregivers. They kept excellent notes so I could see how she did each day. As a hospital care manager, I have since referred many of my patients and families to Fedelta, both for caregivers and also visiting nurse services. I continue to hear excellent feedback from clients about the care they receive from Fedelta. They thank me for giving them a wonderful resource that helps them stay in their own homes, happily and safely."

After researching several options, we picked FeDelta because we wanted a service that strongly believes that compassionate care provided within the comfort of the home, is a top priority factor in a patient's overall well being. Although we knew our parent's acute medical needs were important - mom, 89, is a 12 year Alzheimer's patient, and dad, 87, recently fell and broke his hip - we felt it was equally important to their health that they remain ‘happy and positive' about their lives, and not be uprooted to a strange, and less pleasing environment, such as found in even the best institutions. We know this from experience, because six years ago, we endured 3 months with my mom in a very nice local rehab center, mending her broken hip, and the toll that event took upon the whole family - especially my dad, who spent every single day at her bedside, traveling to and fro in the snow, and feeling like their lives were torn apart. We knew that their needs would be best met where two 65 year married elders could co-exist together in a familiar home setting, with competent, compassionate care providers to assist them. It turns out, we were right, and so lucky to find a good fit with FeDelta.

In every aspect of their business, FeDelta met our expectations. The office administration (forms, bills, phone calls) was courteous, efficient and well organized, and always professional. The nursing supervisors and care providers were truly top notch people, on both the skill and interpersonal level. I am not sure that everyone feels this way, but it is truly awesome that both of the care providers we experienced were so well matched to my parent's needs – both medical and personal aspects - that we felt like we could adopt them as if they were honorary daughters for my parents! I was relieved at how easily I could pass on so many day to day responsibilities into their capable hands. The fact is, my parents are sweet, but as many ‘set in their ways' elders may be, they are not always so easy to please, with all their ‘special' requests, yet the FeDelta care providers were able to step in, and make them feel comfortable and satisfied, and I received many accolades about their kind services from both my parents, and other family members who visited the home.

Anyone who has tried to shower an unwilling patient, or coax someone to eat or take their medications, knows that it takes unending amount of patience, energy, and compassion. Prior to my FeDelta experience, I didn't think this was something you could actually purchase as a service. I thought you could only get this kind of service from someone who loved the patient, as a family member unconditionally does. I am happy to say, FeDelta proved me wrong. I would recommend FeDelta to anyone needing the best care for their loved one, without an ounce of hesitation!

Sincerely,
Sharon Holt

Live-In Home Care

"My dad had dementia, and my step-mom was his primary caregiver. It became harder for her to care for him as his condition declined, and when she had back surgery she was unable to care for him. Fedelta matched them with Patricia, who lived-in full time and cared for my dad while my step-mom recovered. They both became very fond of Patricia and relied on her for more and more. After Dad passed away, my step-mom wanted her to stay. Patricia has become part of the family.

"Our experience with Fedelta has been superior. The staff, caregivers and nurses have all been outstanding. Based on my family's experience, I know Fedelta could fulfill a wide variety of needs, whether companion care or more extensive health care. This partnership has been a match made in heaven!"

Home Care and Senior Housing Placements

"I was referred to Fedelta because I was concerned about my parents' safety. After Sara Shelton's thorough assessment of their needs, my parents realized they would benefit from living in a retirement community with prepared meals and organized social activities. In the meantime, Fedelta arranged for temporary home-care services so my mom and dad were safe at home until we found just the right community.

"My parents really like their new place — especially the food and the social aspects. In just a short time, they've formed relationships with many of the residents and staff. This community is the right place for them! I couldn't have pulled this off without Sara's help, especially in the short timeframe we had. You made a difficult process much easier with your diligent attention and caring spirit."

Live-In Home Care and Nursing Care

"At age 88, my mom moved here from a California nursing home, where she was recovering from a broken hip and where she developed stage 4 bedsores. She was very weak and needed 24/7 live-in care. It was hard for us to see this social, vibrant, dynamic woman lose all that and become dependent on others.

"In 2008, we selected Fedelta to provide in-home nursing care services. As Mom's condition improved, she needed less medical care, and more companionship. Today, we are happy to report that our mom is alert, bright and cheerful. She plays competitive bridge three times a week, and enjoys playing Scrabble with her companion caregiver. Everyone at Fedelta exceeded our expectations! I would tell anyone looking for home care that Fedelta provides a customized care plan for the person needing it."

Care Management

"Before Fedelta, we spent an enormous amount of time and energy taking my father to the doctors, checking his medications, and dealing with problems with his caregivers. We felt overwhelmed and we needed expert help.

"Fedelta was recommended to us by Northern Trust, where my father has some accounts.

Fedelta's caregivers are excellent, and my father is delighted with them. Everyone is very accommodating, and responsive to our questions and concerns. They work hard to explain things and fix problems when they happen. At Fedelta, they're nice people who have the expertise to be effective care management specialists."
