“ Our mom’s appearance once mattered greatly to her, so it’s important to us to help her maintain that. It is our way of giving her the respect and dignity she deserves."

“ Although Nana’s bright blue eyes no longer recognized us, we knew that behind her blank stare was a grandmother whose eyes once twinkled at the sight of us. We wanted to help, but didn’t know where to turn.”
Providing Care
“ There isn’t enough time in the day to balance between activities of my young family and caring for my aging Mom. I find myself torn between being a Mom and a daughter.”
