Brenda Warren
Brenda's husband was in a care facility when she built a Plan of Care around his specific needs.
"It gave me peace of mind to know I could have a skilled caregiver in place — someone who knows what to look for — checking in on my husband. That mattered even though he was in a facility, to make sure his needs were truly met."
Because Brenda's husband was going through a deep depression, the plan set daily and weekly goals around his food, and his physical, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing — right down to keeping his favorite TV channel on, and tracking his food and liquid intake so the whole family stayed on the same page.
"These services were invaluable because his health was declining rapidly. The plan helped the family know what was going on with him when we weren't there. I recommend this program to anyone needing support with caregiving."

Sandra Castillo
Sandra used SHS&S while caring for her mother through dementia, alongside her own household.
"It helped me have knowledge of the illness and understand more about dementia. I'm more organized now — with my family responsibilities, her medicine, her doctor's appointments, and her daily care needs."
The program also changed how Sandra's extended family understood her role. "I talked to my family about the program and how it's helping me deal with my mom's dementia. That's helped them understand the role I have to have with her, and helped my mom be more respectful and cooperative, too. Now it feels like teamwork — my husband, my children, all of us with the same mindset."
"I recommend this program to anyone going through what I'm going through with my mother. It will help you have a better quality of life for yourself and your family member."

Yangeni Matiasi
Yangeni used SHS&S to coordinate her mother's care from 500 kilometers away.
"Your program is incredibly well-structured and comprehensive. It provides a clear plan of care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of caregiving — and the emphasis on communication and shared responsibility relieves the stress for everyone providing care."
The program helped Yangeni's family find and train a caregiver to support her mother three days a week, coordinating care between the hired caregiver, her grandmother, and her father — all aligned around her mother's medical needs. "Despite living 500 kilometers away, I've been able to use the training materials to equip our caregiver with the skills she needs — sharing best practices for wound care and medication management, and setting reminders for appointments so nothing gets missed."
"I would highly recommend your program to other caregivers and families. Knowing that we can contribute to our mother's wellbeing, even from a distance, has brought us a tremendous sense of peace."
