Incredicare's Approach: Building Relationships That Empower Seniors to Stay Independent

Care Across America

Guy Pelullo from Incredicare shares how professional caregivers help seniors maintain their independence while ensuring their safety in their own homes. Balancing dignity with protection requires skill, patience, and a deep understanding of the emotional challenges seniors face when accepting help.
• Most seniors initially resist home care even when children recognize the need
• Starting with fewer care hours and gradually building up comfort levels works better than pushing for full-time care immediately
• Finding creative solutions like accompanying a senior walking their dog rather than prohibiting the activity
• Gentle reminders about using mobility aids like walkers without making seniors feel helpless
• Well-trained caregivers stay attentive without being invasive
• Personality matching between caregivers and clients is crucial for relationship building
• Transportation services help seniors maintain community connections after they stop driving
• Physical activities like pool walking can help slow disease progression while maintaining independence
• Most seniors who initially resist care end up not only accepting it but requesting additional hours
