Hi, our names are Rick Grimes and Helen McKeon, owners of Homewatch CareGivers of Lakewood. We are looking forward to getting to know you and want to tell you a little about ourselves. Being able to stay in one’s home, in the place where they were born and raised or maybe have lived a long time, is a comfort that everyone should be able to embrace. There is no better delight than to be surrounded

by one’s comforts, photographs of years past, and the memories of the love and life you have shared with family and friends. This feeling of nostalgia is one that every individual has the right to experience. I was blessed to grow up seeing my mom filled with compassion and wanting to see the best care for her clients. There was no greater happiness than seeing people completely engulfed in the peace and joy of remaining in the home surrounded by family and friends. Watching my mom be able to nurture independence and health made the world of difference to her clients who eventually became her extended family. This level of comfort and contentment is what our nurturing care team strive for with every individual. Every person that seeks out Homewatch CareGivers of Lakewood to help assist them in care for themselves or another will be treated with an over-abundance of support, kindness, guidance, and care. We want to be that safety net; that team of love and support that helps you in time of need. We understand how important it is to keep you healthy and happy. You could not ask for a more dedicated care team; from the office staff, to the caregivers, and to the owners. We are all here to assist in any way possible. When situations arise and you do not know what to do or where to turn, we are here. We would love nothing more than to provide a superior level of care, and to allow every individual the ability to stay in a safe, loving environment which helps foster a healthier way of being. As you can probably tell, you and your loved one’s well-being is our passion. We are passionate in making sure every individual in need, has support.

Brain fuel. 🧠⛽️️️

Just like how your body needs exercise, rest, and check-ups to stay healthy, your brain needs to be cared for in similar ways too! And no, that doesn’t mean just reading, puzzling, or learning – it also means exploring, listening, and practicing mindfulness.

Engaging the brain in these ways can reduce the risk of brain diseases, and even reverse some decline. Homewatch CareGivers providers will care for you or your loved one in ways that support brain health.

As we age, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain a healthy diet. This is usually because our digestion can slow, our conditions and medications can affect our diet, and our senses can fade, causing overconsumption of salt and sugar. All this while our overall calorie intake should be lower to match a more sedentary lifestyle. All of this can make it difficult to get the right nutrients in a manageable way because we all know that making healthy meals isn’t always so simple or easy! 🥘🍴

That’s why we work with Chefs for Seniors who offer meal services for those who need it!
