Making The Most of Family Occasions

Living Your Best Life

As you age, nothing brightens the day better than a family occasion. Whether it is a birthday brunch, a baby shower, or a holiday dinner—hello Thanksgiving turkey!—getting together with those who know and love you best, can be the best pick-me-up of all.

For the Fashionista

Special family gatherings are a great reason to go shopping for some new clothes. The right caregiver can drive to favorite stores and help with shopping. From carrying clothes to assisting with changing, a specialized nurse can make it easier to shop and try on new styles. For those who have a personal shopper at their favorite store, the caregiver can pick up items and handle returns. And, of course, there’s always the option of online shopping. Here, too, a tech savvy caregiver can help with keyboarding, scrolling, and searching. When you look good, it’s amazing how much better you feel and how much more you enjoy! Scheduling beauty appointments are also all a part of looking and feeling your best – from arranging hair appointments at a luxury salon, to coordinating a preferred stylist to come to the home for a weekly blow dry, we will ensure you’re looking your best for your family and friends.

For the Gift Giver

It’s never polite to show up empty-handed. Whether a guest at a dinner party or at a celebration, giving the perfect hostess gift is always as much of a delight for the giver as the recipient. And, as with shopping for clothes, the caregiver can assist with all shopping—whether in-store or online and also arrange for delivery pre or post event.

For the Traveler

Suppose your mother lives in Boston and the family get together is in Fairfield County? No problem. She’s in capable hands with a Privatus caregiver, who can arrange transportation and accommodations. Plus, our specialized nurses are uniquely equipped to anticipate any medical or physical needs, such as wheelchair accessibility and dietary restrictions.

The Perfect Fit

Having a caregiver who fits in can make the difference between feeling at home and feeling uncomfortable. Aside from professional skills, our concierge-level caregivers are screened for disposition and etiquette. They know how to gracefully fit into family gatherings and when to subtly step off to the side.

At Privatus, we know how important family occasions are and how precious these moments can be for all generations. Our job goes beyond the basics—we anticipate needs, exceed expectations, and bring a smile every day. We go to extra lengths so that you can get the most out of every day and especially the special occasion days.
