Comprehensive Senior Care in Itasca
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide comprehensive senior care services in Itasca, IL to ensure that your senior loved ones get the care they need to safely age in place. Our home care services are designed to meet a wide range of needs, from personal care and meal preparation to transportation and assistance with household tasks. We also specialize in providing compassionate care for individuals with dementia and offer 24-hour support for those requiring constant supervision.
The following are the senior home care services we provide:
- Companionship: You can expect more than quality care from our caregivers as they will also be companions for your loved ones. Our caregiver will engage your loved one in friendly conversation as well as their favorite hobbies to establish a personal connection.
Custodial care: It is common for seniors with cognitive or physical limitations to have trouble with personal care tasks. Our caregivers can assist with personal hygiene activities including bathing, dressing, toileting, and more.- Fall prevention: Falls are a common problem among seniors and can cause serious injuries. We help prevent falls by guiding your loved ones around the home and ensuring their path is free of trip hazards.
- Meal preparation: Cooking can be dangerous for some seniors but those who do not cook are in danger of malnutrition. Our caregivers provide meal preparation to ensure that your loved ones get regular meals that follow their dietary requirements.
- Transportation and errands: Our caregivers can help seniors who have given up their driving privileges by providing reliable transportation to doctor appointments, family events, and other important engagements. We can also assist with important errands like grocery shopping.
- Light housekeeping: We can help seniors clean and maintain their homes by doing light housekeeping tasks like vacuuming, washing dishes, doing laundry, and taking out the trash.
- Respite care: If your senior loved ones are primarily cared for by a family member, it is best for the family caregiver to get regular time off. With our respite care services, our caregiver can take over providing care to relieve the family caregiver.
- Overnight care: We can help seniors who cannot safely be left alone at night with our overnight care services. Our caregiver will arrive in the evening to help your loved ones get to bed and stay awake through the night to provide assistance as needed or respond to emergencies.
- Around-the-clock home care: We recognize that some situations call for constant, around-the-clock care for your loved ones. That’s why we offer two specialized options: live-in care, where a dedicated caregiver resides in the home, and 24-hour care, featuring multiple caregivers who work in shifts to ensure someone is always awake and available. Both services are designed to provide attentive, compassionate support whenever it’s needed most.
- Alzheimer’s and dementia care: Individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia benefit most when cared for in the comfort of their own homes. Our caregivers are trained to deliver compassionate memory care, tailored to support those facing these challenging conditions.
- Post-hospitalization care: Returning home after surgery or an illness can be challenging. Our post-surgery care is designed to ease this transition, ensuring a smooth recovery and reducing the risk of complications that could lead to re-hospitalization.
- Home hospice care: If your senior loved one receives hospice care, we can provide personal care and assistance that complements the care they receive in hospice. Our caregivers will assist with personal care activities that are not normally covered under traditional hospice care.
