Bowling Green May 2021 Client & CAREGiver Spotlight - Larry P. & Gary H.
Meet Bowling Green’s Client and Professional CAREGiver Spotlight for May, Dr. Larry and his caregiver, Gary. Dr. Larry is a retired dentist and an Alvaton, KY native. He practiced for over 30 years and is also the former president of the local Rotary Club. He even wrote a book about his experience with the Rotary Club!
Dr. Larry has suffered a stroke which affected his right side but remains active and independent. Gary says he always has a good attitude and loves to talk about local history. Gary has been providing care for Dr. Larry for four years and they have their routine down pat. When Gary arrives, he will prepare a simple country breakfast of eggs and bacon. He will then make the bed and help Dr. Larry shower and dress. They often run errands together, while discussing history and local pioneers.
Before coming to Home Instead, Gary was a minister and helped take care of his father who had Alzheimer’s. When asked about Gary, Dr. Larry says, “I depend on Gary more than anyone else. He is a real important person to me”. We hope that Gary and Dr. Larry have many more years together and keep exemplifying what me mean by “Sharing Our Hearts”!
