Meet TLC's first client...

By
Mohamed Basha was just 21 years old when we saw a need in his community and decided to do something about it. “Being a nurse, just seeing what was happening in nursing homes, hospitals, and people leaving the hospital without the care that they need at home... I wanted to get something where we’re serving the community and the seniors not only in their homes, but anywhere else they may live” stated Basha.
Sally Dondes is a honorary co-founder of TLC with Mohamed as well as TLC’s first client and dearest friend. “I’m very proud of him. Every night, I still have the little prayer rug up in the cupboard, he would take it out, put it down, and pray. And now his dreams have come true. From nothing, to everything he has now” stated Dondes. Sally noted that the day she had fallen 10 years ago is the same day Mohamed became a nurse and that it was fate. He was always what she needed. To this day, if Sally is in the hospital, Mohamed is the first one personally there assuring that she is well taken care of and has everything she needs. “Thoughtful is his middle name!” stated Dondes.  Mohamed treats his clients like family and feels a deep connection witnh the mission of TLC.
Mohamed strives to find caregivers with the natural born characteristic of good care giving. Mohamed truly believes that “care giving is not something you can teach or learn by going and taking a class. You have to be born with it; it is something that is in you”. Over the past 10 years he holds true to his word in treating those requiring TLC’s services like family.  10 years after the inception of TLC HomeCare & Nursing, the company has evolved to serve all of the state of Vermont with an office in South Burlington and Barre, and also extends itself into New Hampshire with an office in West Lebanon.
In the spirit of our 10 Year Anniversary, we would like to celebrate with the community who made TLC’s  success possible as well as celebrate the caregivers and staff who have supported Mohamed’s dream of filling the gap in care for the seniors in our community. Please join us July 21st from 3:30 pm – 6:30 pm at our office in South Burlington for fresh food, live music, a bouncy castle, free 10 minute massages, and more! All family and friends as well as members of the communities are welcome to the celebration and TLC hopes to see as many people as possible!

Spring is in the Air... Time to Head Outdoors

By Anonymous
Although it may feel like warmer weather will never come, it is right around the corner. With warmer weather, comes the opportunity to get outside, enjoy the fresh air and get exercise. It is important for both the mind and body to be outside and away from the comforts of your own home, as long winters can make it feel like you have been stuck inside for months on end. According to a study completed in 2010, time spent outdoors make people feel “more alive”. This study illustrated that spending time outdoors can lead to an increased sense of energy; which is vitally important for both the mental and physical health of an elderly individual. According to the study done by Richard Ryan, a psychology professor at the University of Rochester, "Nature is fuel for the soul. Often when we feel depleted we reach for a cup of coffee, but research suggests a better way to get energized is to connect with nature." It is evident that spending time outdoors is critical to a full ...

New Home Care Technology to Keep an Eye On

By Anonymous
There seems to be an obvious disconnect between the older generations and technology, as they were never brought up with it as a part of their everyday life. Technology plays a key role in most aspects of our life and has recently become a critical part of the Home Care world. This new technology can have incredible benefits for aging adults who are trying to live life in their own home. There are several new technological advancements that will ultimately help make elderly people’s lives better and safer and here are just a few that I thought offer the most benefits. 1.        CareInnovations Health Harmony: This technology system platform simplifies patient monitoring by enabling patients, care providers, and family caregivers to collaborate for better care in the home within normal daily routines.
