MCM Case Study · Parkinson's & Bereavement Care
Phyllis F. spent 10 years never leaving her house while caring for her husband with Parkinson's. This is the story of how she went from isolated caregiver to being cared for herself.
Before MCM
After MCM
Phyllis F. is 85 years old, originally from Philadelphia, and she'll tell you exactly who she is within 30 seconds of meeting her. She's sharp. She's funny. Underneath the humor is a woman who lived through something most people can't imagine.
“I've never experienced love like we had together. And I just can't believe he's gone.”
— Phyllis F.
She watched her husband — the love of her life — slowly lose himself to Parkinson's disease. And then she lost him entirely.
Phyllis didn't leave her house for 10 years. Not once, except to go to the doctor. She was always with him. Always. When the nighttime caregivers came, she went upstairs. When she woke up, she was back at his side.
“I never left the house in ten years except to go to the doctor. I was always with him.”
— Phyllis F.
MCM didn't just send caregivers. They sent people who learned who Phyllis's husband was — before the disease took that away. People who showed him respect and love. People Phyllis would each recommend individually.
“I was never without someone, I was never alone.”
— Phyllis F.
After her husband passed, Phyllis moved into her daughter's house. She was grieving. She was alone for the first time in decades. But she wasn't alone — because her MCM caregiver moved with her.
“She's better than family.”
— Phyllis F., about her MCM caregiver
Today, Phyllis is receiving MCM care herself. Same company. Same quality. The caregiver who cared for her husband now cares for her. That's not a service. That's a relationship.
Phyllis didn't leave her house for a decade. Family caregivers need professional support before they break — not after.
The same caregiver moved with Phyllis to her daughter's house. That kind of continuity doesn't exist at agencies.
MCM cared for Phyllis's husband. Now they care for Phyllis. From Parkinson's to bereavement to aging in place — one team.
