awrence Barris of Huntington
Woods puts his creative pas-
sions into his music, but it is his
Grandma Birdie Barris, 97, who holds his
heart. Recently, they experienced the part
of life when a loved one need assistance.
Enter Birdie's Companion & Home Care.
"My grandmother was released from
the hospital and she went to a rehab
facility before she was able to go home
Lawrence said. "Experiencing the treat-
ment from caregivers with patients
deeply affected me. I witnessed both dis-
gusting as well as wonderful treatment.
"It eventually became a cause for my
sister Stacy and me. We continued to
recommend caregivers in my grand-
mother's facility. We eventually decided
to move forward professionally to care
for more in need."
Birdies' Companion & Home Care's mis-
sion is to provide compassionate and pro-
fessional care. This is achieved by fulfilling
each client's personal needs to assure a
dignified, independent and safe lifestyle.
Born in Detroit, Barris worked and/or
performed with artists of national acclaim
including George Benson, Mary Wilson
& the Supremes, Ben E. King, the 5th
Dimension, George Burns, Joan Rivers and
others. ❑
