WHAT IS HOMEBOUND FRIENDS MASSAGE NETWORK?
Homebound Friends was created to provide caring, in-home physical therapy to loved ones who are unable to leave their homes. It can be a real blessing for home bound friends, family and caregivers. It is our specific goal to make a difference in the lives of immoble individuals. We want them feel physically comfortable, loved and at peace at the end of every session!

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
In order to lift spirits and improve physical comfort, we provide therapy in the form of massage (hands, feet, neck/shoulders, or full body depending on medical condition/preferences), music, snack, comfort, conversation and companionship. We are people who care, and want to be there when you can't.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM HOMEBOUND FRIENDS?
We are here for you whether your Homebound Friend is experiencing an illness, recent surgery, a disability, the aging process, or maybe a lonely patch (a recent widower, loss of a child, or a recent returning veteran).

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A HOMEBOUND FRIENDS SESSION FOR MY LOVED ONE?
Call 480-970-7719. If Patty is in a session, she will personally call you back as soon as she possibly can. Please expect her to ask you some questions about your loved one. She will need to know:

• Name of new Homebound Friend
• Address
• Details of medical condition
• requested area of massage (hands, feet, legs, etc.)
• Physical restrictions (can only sit up, lie down, etc.)
• Favorite topic on conversation
• Favorite simple snack or beverage
• When would you like visit to take place

Please note that you can schedule one Homebound Friends session, one time, with no long term commitment required or you can schedule one Homebound Friends session once a week, once a month, etc. Package discounts are available.

WHAT DOES A HOMEBOUND FRIENDS SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Typically a session lasts for 1 hour. The first 30 minutes is for uplifting of the spirit, the "visiting" part, sharing conversation, an enjoyable snack, and us listening to our Homebound Friend talk about their life. We find that their stories are quite interesting and they love to tell them! It is a good thing.

The second 30 minutes is for the massage part, physical comfort, soothing and relaxing the body, mind and spirit. This is a quieter time. The power of healing touch is experienced as they listen to their familiar, favorite music playing softly in the background. We apply gentle, soothing touch, enhanced by lovely lotions, allowing the feeling of peace and well being to surface. It is a good thing.

Please note that because most seniors/patients/disabled are not feeling their best and are perhaps aging, recovering from a surgery, an illness or they are not that active nor up to full strength anymore, so this is why we recommend 30 minutes of massage only. You know best of course, so depending on circumstances and the doctor’s orders, we are always negotiable on time.

We customize each session according to our loved ones needs. They can sit and converse about art, or sports or news or tell us their stories and munch too; all while we massage their feet and hands... you get the idea. We bring the preferred treats/eats, music, lovely lotions, massage table (if needed), so there is nothing to worry about.

Our Homebound Friend is the King or Queen of the day and all we ask of them is to sit back, relax and enjoy. It is our specific goal that your loved one feels loved and at peace at the end of each session!
