Bright Legacy Care
How is this service different from home care?
My service does not include bathing, dressing, cooking. I assess cognition, communication environment to design routines and activities which maximize purpose and engagement. When your loved one is engaged and calm they feel safe and secure, making your life easier.
Why invest in this service? - It's about ROI.
Every month your loved one lives at home versus in residential care you are saving thousands.
US average residential memory care is $8,019 per month
US average in-home agency caregiver is $35/hour
Bright Legacy Care services are structured to be one-time purchase to maximize value of paid care in your home.
A proactive mindset can prevent crisis events such as hospital admissions which are financially costly and often result in decline in function.

Who is this best suited for?
I designed this service for adult children and spouses of those experiencing memory loss. The ideal client is a care partner who is able to spend time with their loved one but requires a worry-free break. Most families are comfortable getting 2-3, 4 hour breaks each week to go out with friends, do errands or pursue a hobby.
Will my loved one participate?
Some do and most do not. I have families in both camps and generally they have a clear understanding how their loved one would react.
Do you come to our home?
If you are in the Las Vegas area I strongly prefer to "visit" at home at least once in the beginning of our relationship. I have been introduced as a woman from church or work when its helpful.
Do you work alongside paid caregivers?
When the right caregiver is chosen they are open to learning what is most comfortable and enriching for the client. Arrangements can be made for direct training although that is not typical. I always present a one page sensory/skills summary and activity inventory to be shared with family and care providers. Paid caregivers become part of your team and follow the plan we develop.
What results can we realistically expect?
Achieving the highest potential of all people and systems relevant to your loved one is my main goal. Every family will have different result based on your unique factors. What I know for sure is that our actions effect the functional ability of our loved ones. We can absolutely impact the trajectory of the disease and it's symptoms.
How often can I email for support?
Typically, 1-2 emails per week when questions arise about changes in behavior or modification to activities.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes! If you do not come away from the first scheduled (paid) session with a clear goal and first step to achieve it, I will honor your request for your money back.
