Living alone becomes increasingly difficult throughout the aging process. In some situations, family members may take on the role of assisting their senior loved ones with personal care and household tasks. However, not all families have these capabilities. Home care services provide seniors with daily living assistance to help maintain their independence and well-being. Our caregivers meet with you and your loved one to create a comprehensive care plan that is specific to their needs, ensuring your peace of mind.
Senior citizens and adults with disabilities who need care throughout the day are choosing to receive care in their own homes instead of leaving for a nursing home or assisted living facility. In some cases, people who choose to remain at home have family members who can help with personal care and other things like rides and taking care of the home. However, there may come a time when their personal care needs become too much for their family to handle, especially if they have an illness, chronic condition, or dementia. At this point, it is best to work with professional home caregivers who can provide quality care.
Assisting Hands Home Care caregivers provide home care assistance to help seniors and adults with disabilities in North Port, FL. Our home care services start with a consultation in which we will assess the care needs of your loved one to create an appropriate care plan. We will then assign a caregiver for your loved one who is licensed, bonded, and insured and can be trusted to provide quality, compassionate care.

At Assisting Hands Home Care, our caregivers provide the best possible care and assistance for your loved ones while treating them with the respect they deserve. Our caregivers will do more for your loved ones than provide care, we will build a personal relationship with them and be their social companions while engaging them in activities. Our care plans are flexible so they can be adjusted if the care needs of your loved ones change.
The following may be included as part of our home health care services in North Port, FL:

Our caregivers will live in the home with your loved one and provide care with our live-in care services, but they will need to sleep at night. Our 24-hour care services are more attentive as we will have multiple caregivers rotate shifts to ensure that a caregiver is always awake and alert in the home.
- Overnight care: If your loved ones cannot be left alone through the night, our overnight care services are ideal. Our caregiver will come to the home in the evening to help your loved one get ready for bed and stay awake during the night to provide care and assistance when needed.
- Post-operative care: Transitioning home after a surgery or hospital stay is difficult for seniors and adults with disabilities. We can help ease the transition with our post-operative care services in which we will provide personal care and medication reminders, monitor for changes in condition, and take care of household tasks so your loved ones can rest and recover.
