At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide complete in-home care services to help senior citizens and adults with disabilities in Palos Heights, IL, and the surrounding areas of Cook County with a full range of elder care services (See All Served Areas).
Home care has become a much more popular option for senior citizens and adults with disabilities as they prefer to receive care in the comfortable environment of their homes. Those who elect to receive care in their homes have more control over their lives than if they were to leave for a nursing home or assisted living facility. Family members can sometimes help provide care for their elderly or disabled loved ones, but they cannot usually provide the type of care needed. If you have loved ones who need care at home, it is best to work with a home care agency like Assisting Hands.
Home Care Agency in Palos Heights, IL
Assisting Hands Home Care provides home health care services to help senior citizens and adults with disabilities in their homes in Palos Heights, IL. We start by meeting with you and your loved ones to understand their care needs and create a customized care plan that best covers their needs. You can trust that your loved ones will receive quality, compassionate care from our licensed, bonded, and insured caregivers.
We begin our in-home care services with a free in-home assessment in which we meet with you and your loved ones to assess their care needs. We will then work with you to form a complete care plan and ensure we assign the best caregiver to accommodate your loved one’s needs. It is common for care needs to change over time and our care plans are flexible so they can be adjusted to accommodate changing needs.
Home Care Assistance for Seniors
We will ensure that our home care plan includes help with personal care and assistance as well as some household tasks. Each of our caregivers have passed a background check and completed training so you can trust them to provide excellent home care while treating your loved ones with compassion and respect.
The following may be included with our home health care services:
- Senior/ elderly care: We can provide complete home care for your elderly loved ones who are aging in place that includes help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, transferring, eating, bathing, restroom use, and other personal hygiene activities.
- Alzheimer’s and dementia care: Seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia must receive specialized care in the familiar environment of their homes. Our caregivers are specially trained to care for seniors with dementia and respond to common symptoms. We can also help slow memory loss with memory care exercises.
- Live-in and 24-hour home care: There are seniors and adults with disabilities who may need someone present in their home 24 hours a day due to an illness or condition. We provide live-in care services in which two caregivers will take turns and will always be awake and alert in the home.
- After-surgery care: Making the transition back home after a hospital stay or surgery can be very difficult for seniors and disabled adults. Our caregivers provide after-surgery care to ensure that your loved ones follow their discharge instructions and get enough rest to recover and avoid setbacks.
- Respite care: Family members who provide care for their loved ones put in long hours and may need additional help. With our respite care services, we will have a caregiver arrive at scheduled times to provide care while the family caregiver takes time off.
- Overnight caregivers: Leaving your loved ones home alone at night can be stressful if you fear for their safety and well-being. With our overnight care services, our caregiver will arrive in the evening to help your loved ones get to bed and they will stay awake all night to provide assistance or respond to emergencies.
- Companionship: Our caregivers will be social companion for your loved ones as well as their caregivers. We will develop a personal relationship with your loved ones through friendly conversation and regularly engage them in their favorite activities.
- Meal preparation: We can prepare daily meals for your loved ones that accommodate their dietary restrictions.
- Light housekeeping: We can take care of some light housekeeping duties such as laundry, dusting, and taking out the trash to help keep the home clean.
