Home with Help® is a trusted provider of comprehensive non-medical companionship, homemaking, and personal care services in Arizona. We are committed to providing the most compassionate, respectful, and ethical care possible.

As a young adult at the age of 25, Kimberly Mitchell was very blessed that all four of her grandparents and one great-grandmother were still alive.

She was close to all five of them and it was very emotional for her to watch their health decline the last few years of their lives as they received very poor care from untrained caregivers.

Kimberly’s great-grandmother, Dorothy, was an incredible woman and lived to be 103 years old. When her family couldn’t take care of her anymore, they chose to place her in a nursing home facility where she was, unfortunately, miserable. She declined because she was so unhappy.

If she knew then what she knows now about home care, her family could have made her last years more comfortable and happy at home.

Later, her grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. His wife, an untrained caregiver, was not the greatest about getting him his meds and prepping decent meals, etc. Within a few years, her other grandfather was diagnosed with emphysema.

Witnessing these situations set Kimberly on a mission to advocate for our older generation and become a part of the solution.

Today, Kimber and her husband own Home With Help. A trusted provider of comprehensive non-medical companionship, homemaking, and personal care services in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are committed to providing the most compassionate, respectful, and ethical care possible.

The situation that Kimberly’s family found themselves in is, unfortunately, all too common, but there are other options when it comes to taking care of your loved ones.

Contact Kimberly for a free consultation at: 480-941-0200 or care@homewithhelp.net and follow Home with Help on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

All Aboard the Healing Train!

Matt Zlotnick’s father was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2006. Matt soon realized that his father’s fight to endure the treatment was only half the battle. It took a tremendous amount of energy to get to and from the numerous rounds of rigorous treatments needed. It was taking a toll on his father, family and friends. Taking time off work and having to call various people to ask for help– the cancer had not only invaded his father’s body but attacked the lives of family and friends. During this time Matt made a decision to help others that were also fighting this beast and reached out to his college friend, Josh Needles. CEO of Needles Solutions, Josh is a leader in the engineering wireless network industry. Josh saw the compassion and drive in Matt to help the critically ill and he knew that ‘change was going to happen and felt he could make it happen faster’. With Josh’s help, two years ago Matt started The Healing Train, a non-profit, 501c3, organization.

After the organizational process, both Matt and Josh knew that they could not physically run a transportation company, so The Healing Train partnered with Greene World Wide Transportation to provide free, professional and reliable transportation to and from appointments for those fighting cancer or other ailments. This transportation is 100% funded by charitable donations provided by local businesses. So, donations are critical in reaching and helping those in our community that need it most!

Matt and Josh have found a niche in the integrated healthcare delivery system that helps lessen the burden on many who need help getting to and from potentially life saving medical treatments. For those that might need The Healing Train’s service, they can be reached at www.thehealingtrain.wordpress.com.

Alzheimer's Relief ~ Giving Caretakers a Break! Gary Kitchen, Founder - Laona M. Kitchen Foundation

00:00 /

Gary Kitchen wants to give family caregivers a break! Seriously! Born in Pennsylvania, and growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, Gary attended the University of Louisville on a Navy scholarship. After college, he was the Communications Officer on a Destroyer, and then the Executive Officer on a Minesweeper. After all that excitement, Gary decided to settle down a bit and took a job with Kroger. Though only with Kroger for about ten years, Gary spent the rest of his career in and around the grocery business.

Gary moved to Atlanta in 1972, About eight years ago, his mother moved from Pennsylvania down to Atlanta. Having Alzheimer’s, she came down to live with Gary. After about three years, he found he could no longer adequately care for her, so he moved her to an assisted living community. Wanting to help out, Gary started holding a charity golf tournament to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. After his mother passed, he decided to take the momentum he had gained with the golf tournament, and create a non-profit foundation, honoring his mother, and providing assistance to family caregivers coping with a loved one with Alzheimer’s. About a year ago, Gary retired from his “paying job” to run this organization, “The Laona M. Kitchen Foundation.” This organization is staffed entirely with volunteers, and exists exclusively to fund respite for families that need a break from caring for their loved one. To find out more about the Laona M. Kitchen Foundation, or to apply for a break, check out their website at www.lmkfoundation.org, or call Gary at 404-428-1267.
