When Heidi was diagnosed with both breast and lung cancer, her daughter was already noticing signs of cognitive decline. Suddenly, life became a blur of appointments, medications, insurance paperwork, and difficult decisions.
“I was overwhelmed not knowing how I would be able to manage it all.”
What began as concern quickly turned into logistical chaos. There were specialists to coordinate. Treatments to track. Prescriptions to refill. And underneath all of it, a mother who needed steady support — not just medical management.
That’s when SarahCares stepped in.
From the beginning, the focus wasn’t just on tasks. It was on Heidi as a whole person.
SarahCares provided one-on-one attention, helping manage appointments and treatments, driving Heidi to visits, coordinating with additional agencies for medication support, and ensuring she stayed active and engaged in her daily life. Even on hard days, the goal was dignity and normalcy.
But the support extended beyond daily logistics.
“Sarah’s experience working with long-term health care insurance claims was invaluable,” Heidi’s daughter shared. “She was able to help me navigate through the process of making a claim, which ultimately was a huge financial relief once approved.”
In moments like these, advocacy matters just as much as companionship.
Since day one, Sarah and her team have walked alongside Heidi and her family — not rushing, not rotating staff, not treating her care like a checklist.
“The compassion, care, positivity, and hope that they have brought to my mother’s life has improved her quality of life and has made this experience so much better than it otherwise would have been.”
Cancer is hard. Cognitive change is hard. Managing both at once can feel impossible.
But with the right partnership, families don’t have to carry that weight alone.
“They are absolute heroes.”
For Heidi’s family, the difference wasn’t just practical support. It was peace of mind.
