COVID-19 spikes demand for in-home senior services
METRO DETROIT Sterling Heights resident Roxanne Hayes has an 86-year-old father who lives with her and her husband.
Hayes and her husband both work, and around last March or April, they began to utilize the services of an in-home senior services organization..
“They’re a real good companion for my dad,” Hayes said. “He can’t take care of himself too well. I don’t think we could do this without them. I don’t think he’d be able to live with us without their help.”
In-home care can vary from two hours a day a couple days per week to 24/7 service. For overnight service, caregivers work in shifts.
