How their care changed
Before MCM
- Two parents with dementia who didn't think they needed help.
“My parents did not think they needed help but once they met the wonderful caregivers, they were very receptive.”
With MCM
- Care that scaled across every stage, all the way through.
“We needed overnight sitters, we needed people in the hospital, and MCM always came through. Their caregivers were absolutely wonderful.”
Why MCM mattered
The care started gentle and grew with them.
Early on it was light: "to keep a watchful eye on them and help with small tasks such as going to the grocery store."
It scaled as their parents declined.
"As their health declined, we relied on the caregivers for added support at their assisted living facility. It was reassuring to have this one-on-one care for mom and dad."
They were never alone at the end.
"In their last stages of life, we used caregivers to do the overnight shift as sitters... They were both fall risks, and we wanted to make sure they were never alone."
MCM showed up everywhere they needed.
"We needed overnight sitters, we needed people in the hospital, and MCM always came through."
“I would just like to say how wonderful MCM has been for my parents... I highly recommend them for all of your needs for elderly parents.”
