ging and dependent loved ones
are an incredible responsibility for
care-giving family members. The
amount of time, energy and effort required to
care for a dependent parent, grandparent or
other loved one enduring a debilitating situa-
tion such as a stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's or
dementia cannot be overstated.
One of the best things a care-giving family
can do is to help their loved one remain at
home as long as possible. Trustiva Health
recognizes this and focuses its services accord-
ingly.
"Families whose goal is to keep loved ones
at home need in-home assistance," says Susan
Wayde, co-owner of Trustiva Health.
Services include helping with the activi-
ties of daily living such as bathing, dressing,
oral care, toileting, transferring, transporting,
eating, cooking, running errands, shopping,
housework or driving.
Trustiva Health also assists with medication
management, mediating depression, coordi-

ionship, implementing prescribed orders and
treatments, and maintaining prescribed orders
and treatments, as well as respite care for
care-giving loved ones who need some relief.
"We provide in-home, non-medical
healthcare," says Cindy Broderick, co-owner of
Trustiva Health. "We can provide a minimum
of four hours to 24/7 at the client's home."
Says Wayde, "We play a big role in what
we call transition management. We spend
a lot of time with our clients helping them
understand, determining if home is indeed the
appropriate place for their loved one, what
changes, the financial impact — so many as-
pects of change that tend to paralyze people!'
Broderick and Wayde offer not just profes-
sional service but personal service: Both have
cared for family members.
"We have walked the walk," Broderick said.
"When people contact us with their concerns,
we've been there so we truly understand what
they are going through and what they need."

With Trustiva, families can log on to an on-
line portal and see their loved one's progress
for the day and look at caregivers' notes.
Wayde warns that because home care
delivery is not licenced by the state, there is no
regulation, which means this lack of oversight
can put people at risk.
"We're only hiring certified nursing as-
sistants, people with strong backgrounds!'
Broderick says. "We do background checks
and drug tests, which is not common."
"Having someone stay at home for as long
as physically possible is in the long-term best
interest of the patient," Wayde says. "They
want to stay at home. We provide the recom-
mendations and assistance for making the
house more senior friendly so this is possible.
It's so important to have open conversations
with the family so our services can evolve with
our client's needs."
