The end result: I left behind my corporate career and I am now blessed to be the owner of Amarillo Home Care Assistance. These amazing people touched me so deeply that I knew I had to stay connected with their goodness and compassion. I was especially reassured by their focus on providing care in a holistic way, addressing every part of seniors’ wellbeing-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Compassionate and devoted, their sole purpose was to make sure my parents received high-quality care delivered with empathy and dignity. I knew I needed someone like Laura and Beth to care for my own parents.Īs soon as I connected with the Amarillo Home Care Assistance family I knew I’d found the right people. Both truly loved people and wanted to make a difference in their lives. Along the way I met Laura and Beth, two extraordinary caregivers I’ll never forget. Having spent much of my life working with home healthcare agencies and residential facilities, I’ve observed all levels of care. My father has mobility issues due to back surgery and my mother is living with dementia. John Ford and John Wayne knew what they were doing, but as great as those old movies were, the scenery has to be SEEN to be appreciated.Īs for the festivals, you can of course check with Chambers of Commerce of the 66 towns, but for blooming desert plants, you have to get lucky.Not that long ago, I was searching for a home care solution for my 88-year-old parents who refused to leave the family farm. True, the current price of gas may slow down this year’s tourist business, but the big sites such as the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest get mobbed by June and its hot out there.ĪLSO…while it is a bit off the 66 path, anyone who takes this trip w/o spending a day to go up to Monument Valley and through the Navajo Nation is really missing something very, very special.
