I’m Doug Lueder, the proud owner of Prosper Home Care. I look forward to sharing my story. I hope that you will enjoy getting to know me better.

When used correctly, elderly medication can improve the lives of seniors. However, when patients do not use medications as directed, they can cause many problems. Seniors often encounter problems when they try to manage several different prescriptions from several doctors. Physicians are often unaware of other medications the senior may be taking. They are usually only aware of the ones they specifically prescribed. Seniors can easily become over-medicated, and this is why family members should be actively involved in medication tracking for the elderly.

Taking care of another human being is a process that is as old as time itself. Typically, parents take care of their children who then enter the world and take care of their own.

The essence of being a human being means that you live within a social structure that thrives on interacting with others. You laugh, talk, and spend time with others. However, as you or an elderly loved one becomes older, these interactions can become less frequent. If you are finding your social calendar is not as full as it used to be, you can hire a caregiver who provides companionship for the elderly.

A caregiver is a person who helps assist the elderly and the disabled by completing various tasks. Although caregivers typically provide care in a person’s home, they may also provide care in residential care facilities.

Helping to plan meals for the client
Preparing meals for the client
Grocery shopping for the client ..read more
