No one expresses the sentiment of home more than Perry Como when we hear the lyrics to his beloved Christmas song, “Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays.” It is a warm and fuzzy emotion that many of us experience as we make plans to head “home” and visit our loved ones, especially aging parents, during the holiday season.

As our world changes, so do the needs of our loved ones. During times of uncertainty, one thing is for sure – you can always count on a certified caregiver from a licensed personal care agency. If your physician, family member or friend has recommended in-home care, there are a lot of options available.

The phrase “home for the holidays” usually evokes happy memories from past occasions when extended families gathered around a table to share great food and stories. We reflect on a time when we were younger and our parents were strong and healthy, watching over us and protecting us from the world.
