On Tuesday April 9th we welcome Shane Smith, Executive Director of Home Helpers to our show.
Founded in 1997, Home Helpers serves over 500 communities across the United States and Canada. Shane and is wife Jessika, are the owner/operators of Home Helpers in Weston, Florida.
When it comes to home Health care, there are plenty of models to choose from. Yet Shane and his staff offer the personal touch that makes them one of the leading Home Health Care agencies in the nation.
Through our conversation today, Shane will demonstrate to us how selecting the right home health care agency will help us ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’
You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."
When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.
We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
