Aruga: Beyond basic home care
The term "Aruga," is a Filipino word that translates to "care or nurture" in English. It reflects a deep, tender, attentive kind of care often used to describe the care given to a loved one or family members.
This encapsulates our core mission and values, inspired by the rich traditions and compassionate spirit of Filipino culture.
At Aruga, we go beyond basic caregiving support to offer holistic care for seniors, including those living with dementia.
Our approach nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, helping individuals thrive in familiar environments.
Seniors engaged in social and creative activities show higher levels of happiness and connection, which can reduce loneliness and isolation – key factors in mental health decline.
Alzheimer Association
Engaging in creative activities like art and music stimulates memory recall and brain activity, helping slow cognitive decline in seniors, particularly those with dementia.
National Institute on Aging
Arts-based activities reduce agitation, anxiety, and depression in individuals with dementia, improving their emotional well-being without medication.
Study published in The Gerontologist
I have had the privilege of working with Ali Cada for over a decade connecting individuals living with dementia with novice nursing students through art, music, and creative engagement. His dedication, expertise, and compassionate approach have profoundly impacted both students and the clients, fostering meaningful connections and improving quality of life. I have no doubt that his home care business will bring the same level of thoughtful, person-centered care to those who need it most. I highly recommend Aruga to anyone seeking skilled, compassionate, and creative home care services.
