Home Care

Staying in their own home as they age is a dream come true for many people, thanks to home care. This popular form of senior care helps older people remain independent and gives caregivers much needed breaks.

With a high-quality home-care agency, a trusted aide will come into your parent’s home and provide not only practical help but companionship and a sense of security and safety.

A bad agency or aide, however, can lead to disaster. Vulnerable elderly people are sometimes abused physically, emotionally and financially. That’s why it’s so important to choose a home-care agency of impeccable quality.

How We Help

At SeniorCare.com, we’re committed to referring you only to high-quality home-care agencies. Before working with an agency, we look at complaint history and certification or licensing (if required). Then we form a relationship with the company and follow up with clients we refer to make sure they’re happy.

By the way, you may have noticed that we make referrals only to agencies, not individuals who work as independent contractors. Like many professionals in the senior-care industry, we recommend working with agencies for many reasons. For one, you have some backup supervision for the aide. You also don’t have to conduct your own background checks or deal with employer laws and taxes.

How Home Care Helps

With home care, an aide may help with everyday activities such as:

• Bathing
• Dressing
• Going to the bathroom
• Transferring (for example, getting out of bed)
• Preparing meals
• Running errands
• Housekeeping
• Paying bills

Home-care aides don’t provide medical care. (Home health-care aides can do that, but they cost more.)
