However, it is difficult to follow this plan alone and some patients don\u2019t have a family member or loved one to support and care for them. Assisting Hands can help by reminding patients to take their medicine on time and providing transportation, so they don\u2019t miss follow-up appointments with their physician. Our bonded and licensed caregivers understand the disease process.<\/p>\n<p>Companionship is an important and underrated part of the healing process. Our trained caregivers will serve as a companion to your loved one, as well as provide useful services like dusting, dressing, bed making, washing dishes, taking out the trash, meal preparation, safety and fall protection, incontinence care, grocery shopping, pet care, and taking your loved one on walks.<\/p>\n<p>When you can\u2019t do it all, give us a call at <a href=\"tel:(847) 558-2228\">(847) 558-2228<\/a>.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Attention to social workers, discharge planners, and hospital executives: your bottom line may be affected by hospital readmission penalties under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
