Delivering a Higher Standard of Home Care Services
Family Ties Home Care was founded by Adam and Cathy Belsky with the mission to provide exceptional levels of care & service for individuals and families requiring in-home care assistance. The husband-and-wife duo believes that those in need should have access to compassionate and reliable care at a reasonable cost. They also understand the need to balance emotional support, socialization, physical exercise, and a sense of purpose to provide you and your loved ones with the best care services. The mission is simple, provide exceptional care to the individuals, and maintain an open line of communication with their loved ones.
A Daughter's Struggle
Growing up, Cathy had a strong bond with her father, Stan, and remained close to him over the years. In fact, after she moved away from home, they would speak on the phone no less than one time per day.
As Stan aged, his health started to diminish, and he required extra help around the house with basic daily living activities. With a need for daily assistance, Cathy began researching Home Care companies in the area and hired the one that appeared to have the qualities she was looking for. As time passed, the caretaker was consistently late for his shifts and missed days without notice. Cathy called & emailed the agency and was never able to connect the same day. Typically, a day or two would pass before the agency responded to her concerns. As time passed, the caregiver and agency were not able to provide the care that Stan needed and soon developed a pattern of tardiness and poor service. Cathy then had to start her search all over again to find a caring and capable home care agency.
