Care of the Elderly

Published on April 15, 2022

Affordable Live-in Homecare provides live-in carers for the elderly in your area. If you are looking for a live-in carer for your relative, please call Eileen or Tom today on 087 991 6791 or 087 744 0729. Our website is www.alhomecare.ie.

Our service enables elderly people to continue on living in their own home and in their own community, and postpone the need for nursing home care for longer. We have been providing this service for more than 8 years now and we currently have more than 190 live-in carers working in Ireland.

We regularly get calls from families who saw our ad in their parish newsletter. This shows that our notice is of real interest to parishioners and I would like to ask you to please include our notice in your next 3 weekends newsletters/notices.

Elderly care can be very expensive but it doesn’t have to be. Because our carers are live-in and the family provides the carer with a reasonable salary and accommodation and food, the cost is actually very affordable, especially in comparison to nursing home care or private visiting carer services.

Reflection

Following one’s vocation is a response from within to the needs outside us. A vocation meets the human needs of the world but with a motivation from within. We care for our children and grandchildren not just because they are sick or insecure, but because we love them. this love will move us out to help them in various situations. We find a call to be ‘people for others’ because our heart teaches us that with Jesus we are all brothers and sisters, and that God wants to save the world, and needs our help to do so. This is the Sunday we all pray that our particular vocation in life may become clear and may become stronger. God calls each of us to love God and love our neighbour. This is the first Christian calling at our Baptism; we then find the best way for each of us with our own particular set of gifts, talents and even weaknesses to live out that call to love. We think especially today of religious life and priesthood. There are needs for priests, sisters and brothers in most parts of the world. as a community in families and parishes we thank those who have given their lives in these vocations and pray they may increase.
