What are Home Care Services?

Home Care Services help seniors remain independent and in the comfort of their own home.  As we age, activities of daily living such as household maintenance, managing medical care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can all become challenging.  Home care services are intended to provide assistance and comfort to seniors who want to live as independent as possible in his or her own home.  Assistance from professional caregivers can also help keep family caregivers from becoming too overwhelmed.

Here are a few different types of services Home Care Agencies offer:

Why chose Home Care?

There are many reasons that people chose home care over other senior care options. One of the most important thing that home care offers is for the client to remain in his or her own home. Moving out of your home not only involves moving into an unfamiliar environment, but can also include downsizing and trying to part with memorable belongings. The consequences of moving could result in dramatic emotional and physical changes, including increased confusion, anger, loss of appetite and social detachment.  Secondly, home care offers a more flexible solution. The days/times can be flexible to the needs of the client and/or family member(s), including calling off certain days that family is able to take over. Clients are only billed for the times they request a caregiver. This allows for a smaller financial commitment and also provides clients with a slower transition into senior care, rather than jumping into a full 24/7 care facility. Lastly, home care provides the one on one care that all seniors deserve. Whether it’s to help assist with a daily shower and dressing, escort to doctors’ appointments or play an intense game of scrabble, every client will get the full undivided attention of a compassionate and professional caregiver
