Our agencies provide high-quality, hands-on home care services for homebound seniors who need help with their everyday activities. We offer customized care plans designed to meet each individual’s unique personal and financial needs.
All of the staff members who work in our Home Care Program have passed stringent background checks and drug tests. All of the agencies who provide home care services are licensed Class B home health agencies.
In-Home Services for Seniors
The goal of all of our senior home care services is to help individuals keep living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. All of our in-home care plans are created in conjunction with a licensed RN or qualified supervisor who works with the individual, the family, and their physicians to assess and address the individual’s specific needs.
Once the care plan has been established, a trained home care attendant will provide the planned services. All aids receive multiply background checks which include checking against the state’s Child and Adult Maltreatment Registry The services may include help with:
- Personal hygiene
- Housework
- Shopping
- Transportation
- Meal preparation
- Medication assistance
- Dressing
- Laundry
- Socialization
We provide programs that can help fill the void for those elders who do not qualify for services through Medicaid, VA, or private insurance programs. Seniors can also arrange and pay for a variety of tasks.
