Benefits of In-Home Assistance

From keeping your loved one company to ensuring there is someone around to help take a loved one to the doctor when you can’t be there, there are many benefits to choosing in-home senior support with Senior Helpers. More than 65 million Americans seek to balance the daily demands of work, home, children and caring for someone who may be living with an illness, disability or simply aging.  In-home assistance is a safe, affordable option for families that provides them with the support they need while allowing their loved ones to say in the comfort of their own homes and communities. 

Comfort of Home

Nine out of ten Americans 65 and older want to stay at home for as long as possible, and 80 percent think their current home is where they will always live. Working with an agency like Senior Helpers can allow your loved one to receive the support they need while in the comfort of their own home- preserving their dignity and maintaining a good quality of life.

Independence

Professional staff enable your senior loved one to enjoy living independently longer. The services offered allow seniors to receive day-to-day help with the personal support they need and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, and medication reminders. Ultimately, this benefits you by keeping your loved one safe, healthy, engaged and active.

Personalized Assistance

in-home services provide meaningful, one-on-one support that helps to build strong relationships between a Senior Helpers provider and their clients. We match our team's experience, skills set, and personality to your loved one’s needs. Our service schedules are extremely flexible to ensure your senior receives the support they need, when they need it. The result is a consistent, working relationship so beneficial that our clients often consider their caregiver to be a part of their family.

Peace of Mind

If you are caregiving from a distance, working with an in-home agency for your senior can help you to feel confident that your loved one is looked after when you can’t be there. Trained and qualified caregivers can assess safety risks and make simple corrections in the home to ensure your loved one is able to get around easily without the potential for injury. We are committed to providing your loved ones with increased support as their needs change to ensure their quality of life and your peace of mind.

Reduce feelings of Isolation

Research shows that aging adults stay healthier with social interaction. Feelings of isolation are a major problem among aging Americans. Companionship services can impact not only physical wellbeing, but emotional health as well. Our staff can become trusted friends for walks, reading, cards, games, movies, meals, and other social activities.

Prevent falls and other common injuries

Falls are the number one cause of emergency room visits for people age 65 and over. They can easily happen when a senior is attempting a simple household task such as reaching for a high shelf or carrying something down the stairs. Hiring Senior Helpers to assist a loved one with these everyday tasks can help to prevent accidents that can potentially lead to serious injury.

 

Senior Helpers enjoys an excellent reputation for service within our community and professional circles. We work with many local doctors, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals who regularly refer their patients in need of non-medical help. We are experts in the in-home assistance field and value building strong relationships with our clients and their families.

Senior Helpers hires our staff based on their experience, professionalism, enthusiasm, and compassion for seniors. After a full and thorough screening, we train, bond, and insure each one.

For many families, non-medical in-home assistance can be just the support they need to help manage responsibilities, while avoiding burnout. We look forward to providing your loved one with the help they require to continue living independently at home. Contact us today to schedule a free LIFE Profile assessment.
