Caregivers can work in a private home setting as well as in hospitals, assisted living facilities and nursing homes on a one-to-one basis with their client. 

A unique feature of SYNERGY HomeCare is that services are not limited to seniors. Non-medical caregivers can provide personal care to a wide range of clients, including adults living with physical and/or cognitive limitations, people who are recovering from an illness or injury, and older adults who want to delay or prevent placement in a long-term care setting. 

SYNERGY offers a complimentary, no-obligation in-home safety assessment designed to help clients and their families evaluate their care options. 

Hospital-to-Home Services

SYNERGY HomeCare offers recovery assistance to help ease the transition between hospital and home. Compassionate, professional caregivers provide one-on-one non-medical support designed to give clients the freedom to rest and recuperate in the comfort of their own home rather than a rehab center or nursing facility.

SYNERGY’s hospital-to-home services are geared towards: 

  • Seniors who are returning home after suffering a fall
  • Adults recovering from a stroke or heart attack
  • People living with cancer
  • Elders who need in-home assistance following orthopedic surgery
  • Anyone who needs non-medical help to return home safely following a hospital stay

Hospital-to-home services, which are customized to the needs of each client, may include:

  • Companionship
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Meal prep and assistance with eating
  • Transportation to local medical appointments
  • Medication reminders
  • Assistance with scheduling post-surgical appointment
  • Help with personal care
  • Prescription and over-the-counter medication pickups

SYNERGY HomeCare caregivers have experience working with individuals who are living with cancer. Caregivers can help cancer survivors manage cancer symptoms and treatment side effects, such as pain, anemia, fatigue, brain fog and nausea, by providing in-home support. As with all of SYNERGY’s services, cancer recovery services are fully customizable for each client and may include:

  • Assistance with housekeeping, meal preparation and laundry
  • Personal care
  • Medication pickups and reminders
  • Help with managing medical appointments
  • Escorts to doctor’s appointments and cancer treatments

To improve client safety, every SYNERGY HomeCare hospital-to-home client receives a complimentary medical alert device that allows the client to call for assistance without needing to dial a phone. 

Live-In Care

SYNERGY HomeCare can provide live-in caregivers for adults and seniors who require around-the-clock supervision and companionship. This type of care may be ideal for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and older adults who have lost their spouse.

Live-in care can also be a good option for adults with physical and/or cognitive disabilities who prefer to remain in their own home rather than move to a non-medical congregate care facility such as an assisted living community or a group home. 

Live-in caregivers provide the same level of support offered through the personal assistance service, including helping clients with bathing, hygiene and toileting. Caregivers can also assist with incontinence care, dressing and transferring, as well as transportation to medical appointments, meal prep, light housekeeping and companionship. 

In order to prevent caregiver burnout and ensure continuity of service, live-in care services are staffed by three to four caregivers on a rotational basis. As with all SYNERGY HomeCare team members, live-in caregivers are fully bonded, insured and background-checked prior to commencing duties. 

What Are People Saying About Synergy Homecare?

SYNERGY HomeCare clients find that its caregivers are exceptionally flexible and reliable, with one daughter of an elderly client writing, “We found them very accommodating. Mom enjoyed the person who stayed with her. There was not a lot to do, so she just needed someone overnight in case something happened. We were relieved to know that someone was with her for part of the day.” Another family member writes, “She (the caregiver) frees me up so I can work. They listen to your needs and adjust.” 

The spouse of a client expresses satisfaction with the professionalism of the company and the caregivers, stating that, “They are responsive, they listen and when we have problems, they are quick to resolve them. The caregiver invests herself in the client and the family. She treats us like she would want to be treated. She listens, she is supportive of my husband and she helps in areas where he needs assistance.” 

How Much Does Synergy Homecare Charge for Home Care?

Home care costs vary based on several factors, including the type of services required, how often one needs assistance, and the timing of the services (i.e., overnight vs. daytime care). Where you live also has a significant impact on the cost of home care, as national chains scale their local prices to the cost of living in a given area.

When planning for home care costs, keep in mind that the national average cost is about $24 per hour, though prices in your location may be higher or lower. You can contact a Family Advisor at (800) 973-1540 to learn more about home care costs and payment options in your area.
