At Assisting Hands® we serve our senior clients in a comprehensive and compassionate manner. In addition to delivering caregiving services in the comfort of home, we can coordinate the full spectrum of elder care services to aid our clients in securing the best possible outcome for their health and well-being.
Before beginning service and before your loved one is discharged from a hospital or rehab stay, we will incorporate all the orders and recommendations from your physicians, case managers, healthcare providers and our own initial assessment in order to develop an effective Plan of Care. This plan will describe all the services required, the proposed frequency, potential equipment and supplies needed. We can help by referring other services such as
- Durable Medical Equipment
- Home Modifications
- Medical Alert System
- Community Based Programs
- Transportation Services
We can also assist clients in identifying additional services in the community available through the Area Agency on Aging, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Veteran’s Administration, and local Senior Centers. Some of the elder care services Assisting Hands® can help our clients and their loved ones find education and guidance on are:
- Respite hours for family caregivers
- Reverse mortgages
- Advanced directives
- Power of attorney assignment
- Estate planning
- Medicare benefits
- Medicaid waiver options
- Senior social events
Navigating the myriad of elder care services can be cumbersome and confusing. For help in identifying the best elder care service options for you or your loved one, call Assisting Hands® today and let us ease some of the burden.
