We will also set up a care plan to make sure all their needs are met and there is someone always in the home. The live-in caregivers we hire help with personal care, medication reminders, meal prep, and light housekeeping.

Our live-in caregiver helps your loved one in the morning with their routine as well as with bathing and dressing. They are also always awake and present to help with any additional needs such as light housekeeping and preparing meals. Our caregivers will be there at night to help your loved ones with their nighttime routing and ensure they get to bed.

Our clients seek live-in care as they may have returned from the hospital or lost a spouse and are now living alone and need help. Our trained staff will treat them with dignity and great care.

It is important to note that you do not need to prepare a space for your caregiver to sleep. Because she/he will be awake and alert during her/his shift.

Assistant Hands has went above and beyond their call of duty. Ms Ernestine is truly a gem. For over the past year and a half they have met the needs of my family to help with my grandmother. The patience and understanding with our schedules, short notice needs, schedule changes, etc.were met at all times. Thank you to the wonderful staff for all your hard work.

I'm so grateful for the excellent quality of service Assisting Hands provided for my 84 year old mom who is a resident at Waterford Estates Senior Living Community. Michala was patient and professional in the conversations to determine the package that was best suited for my mom's needs. The caregivers went above and beyond with their attentive care for mom and their emotional support of her during a difficult time of transition in her living arrangements. I'm very grateful for Assisting Hands.

Does Medicare cover in home care for seniors?
Medicare coverage for in-home care for seniors is limited and typically requires meeting specific criteria.

However, Medicare Advantage plans may offer additional benefits beyond what Original Medicare covers, including some in-home care services. Seniors seeking clarity on their Medicare coverage for in-home care are advised to review their plan details comprehensively and explore supplemental insurance options to ensure alignment with their individual needs and circumstances.

Is home health care and home care the same?
Home health care and home care may seem alike, but they serve different needs. Home health care involves skilled medical services provided by licensed professionals like nurses or therapists, including tasks like wound care and medication management. Home care, however, focuses on daily activities and household chores, often provided by non-medical caregivers.
What do when a dementia patient refuses care?
When a dementia patient denies care, they might be afraid of unknown people and the environment. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Stay calm and patient.
  • Try to understand the reason for refusal.
  • Offer choices and alternatives
  • Use reassuring language and build trust.
  • Simplify instructions and break tasks into smaller steps.
  • Use simple and clear explanations to help them understand why care services are necessary and how they can benefit from them.
  • Allow the individual time to process information
Does the VA pay for in-home care?
Yes, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) does provide coverage for in-home care services for eligible veterans through various programs. These programs, such as the Veterans Directed Care Program and the Aid and Attendance Benefit, offer financial assistance to veterans who require assistance with activities of daily living or have medical conditions that necessitate in-home care. Eligibility criteria typically include service-related disabilities, income thresholds, and other factors, and the specific benefits provided may vary depending on individual circumstances.
Does hospice cover 24 hour care at home?
At Assisting Hands, our hospice care includes 24-hour support at home for patients in the end stages of a terminal illness. This continuous home care provides round-the-clock nursing assistance to manage pain, offer emotional and spiritual support, and ensure comfort and dignity during the final days. However, the need for 24-hour care is assessed by the doctors and nurses based on the patient’s condition and needs.
How long is respite care?
Respite care typically lasts for a short period, ranging from a few hours to several days or weeks. It offers much-needed relief to family caregivers who require a break to rest, handle personal matters, or simply recharge. This temporary care can be arranged on a scheduled basis or in emergency situations
How can senior companionship improve the quality of life for seniors?
At Assisting Hands, our companionship services go beyond just providing company. We strive to uplift seniors’ spirits, improve their mood, and foster a sense of well-being through positive interactions. Our companions offer valuable social interaction and emotional support, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. By engaging seniors in meaningful conversations and activities, we aim to keep them mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting cognitive health.
