Home Care

 

Do you have an older friend or family member who is finding it more difficult to manage daily tasks in the home? Do you worry about the health and safety of a parent living alone?

​

Safe at Home advocates allowing your family member to remain in their living environment, regardless if they live in their own home, an apartment home or a retirement community. If a need arises, families of seniors who choose to age in place often contact a home care service provider, hospice caregivers and work with agencies that provide durable medical equipment to help seniors remain safe in their home environment.

​

There are a variety of in-home services, equipment, technology and trained staff that can help keep you or a family member safe, comfortable and cared for in a home setting These services can range from personal cares, such as bathing or shaving, to housekeeping, laundry, nursing visits, medication set up/monitoring and much more.
