@Home HealthCare enables your elderly loved ones (and you) to maintain a well-deserved quality of life. 89% of older adults prefer to live independently at home rather than relocate to an institutionalized setting. Our experienced, compassionate and rigorously-screened caregivers allow them to do just that. Families seeking long term care for their aging loved ones now have something they never had before: a choice that doesn't force them to choose between moving Mom and Dad into a nursing home and becoming primary caregivers themselves. We are a home health care company specializing in hourly and live-in senior care.

Companionship As seniors age and become less able to care for their own daily needs they tend to withdraw and suffer from feelings of helplessness and depression. Our caregivers are trained to encourage the client to stick with their established daily routine. They will provide socialization, play their favorite game, assist with correspondence to friends and family, go for a walk and so much more. Light Housekeeping Your caregivers will do the daily dusting, vacuuming and laundry. They will change the bed linens on a regular basis and make sure the home is neat and orderly as the client would have had it when they, themselves had been able to do these tasks. This contributes to the client having a sense of continuity and security. A comforting feeling that little has changed. Meal Preparation Your caregiver will prepare favorite meals and assure that your loved one eats on a regular basis. They will enjoy mealtime together, again, enhancing the feeling of family and reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Liquid Intake Many seniors do not consume enough liquids, most importantly water and your caregiver will encourage this. Medication Reminders Your caregiver will keep track of the clients medication schedule and remind them when it is time to take any required medication. Travel and Transportation Your caregiver will drive to appointments or activities that are requested*. Whether it be a trip to the park, the doctors office or their favorite bingo game, the client will enjoy full mobility. Other Daily Activities Your caregiver will assist and supervise with bathing, dressing, grooming, ambulation, monitor food freshness, do the grocery shopping, bring in the mail, water houseplants and so much more… * transportation is subject to availabilit

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Palm Beach County:

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
