Personalized Home Care for improved Nutrition, Safety and Companionship

Benefits of Hiring Home Care for an elderly loved one:
*Greater safety and independence at home
*Respite time for an overtaxed primary family caregiver?
*Cost efficient
*Improved health and?quality of life

Under the philosophy of ?first do no harm? we recommend hiring from a licensed company. This way the background screening has been done, certifications checked and you will have recourse should any hiccups occur.

Clients usually come to us in a crisis situation, parent fell or had surgery?and is in hospital or now being ready to discharge from the Rehab Center.? They are ?home ready? but unlikely fully recovered. Home Care can get you or your loved one the rest of the way back.
This is usually a short term assignment until the person can safely take care of themselves, move around on their own, manage the household tasks of shopping, cooking, driving.
The other type of assignment is more long term due to a chronic condition or degenerative illness, often Alzheimer?s Disease, Dementia, COPD, Cardiac or Cancer. then we are there for longer shifts or around the clock and respite time for the family caregiver is a big need.
Unless you need round the clock nursing or skilled care, can no longer manage at home or no longer want to be at home but prefer a congregated living setting ? you, like most people prefer to stay Independent in your home ? the way you ?planned? it. Home Care enables that to happen.
Home Care gives you individualized care. You will likely have the same aide whom you?ll get to know and who will get to know you and your routine. The one on one personal assistance created by a home caregiver has been identified as having a positive impact on physical health, emotional health/nutrition, safety/fall prevention?and an overall feeling of well being.
Home Care is less costly than congregate or institutionalized care. Unless the need is for greater care or you prefer to be in an Assisted Living or Nursing Hme setting, not only would you prefer to remain in your own home with help, it is cheaper on a daily basis.
?Home Care is the original family care paradigm. From the earliest of times, biblical, tribal and so on, we have grown old in our village with our family close by. Today, few live in villages and families are literally all over the map. Especilly here in South Florida, parents retired here 15 years or more ago and are now in their 80s or 90s and likely to have a few medical conditions ? however their adult children are still up North or on the West Coast and even abroad. Home care has remained a chosen method of care for many of the reasons listed above.? Even though loved ones may be far away and the parent older and/or frail, having someone you know and trust come to your home or move in if need be is a?reminder of how care has always been given. Today technology plays a bigger part in ?keeping in touch? monitoring, emergency response, medication monitoring and safety.
There may be ?no place like home? for most of us. In the abscence of family or friends who can help out regularly, then a Home Care companion is the next best thing.
