Hospital Discharge/Post-Operative Assistance

After a hospital stay due to illness, injury, or surgery, having assistance at home can be essential for a smooth recovery. HHAs provide support with tasks such as transferring, bathing, medication reminders, and range-of-motion exercises. Their presence helps facilitate a structured and stable recovery process.

Personal & Companionship Care

For individuals who may not require medical assistance but benefit from regular social interaction, HHAs offer companionship and emotional support. Social engagement plays an important role in maintaining overall well-being, and HHAs provide interaction through conversation, activities, and assistance with daily routines.

Dementia Monitoring

For individuals experiencing early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, HHAs provide structured in-home monitoring and support. They are trained to assist with the challenges that may arise and use specialized care strategies tailored to each individual’s preferences and needs. Activities such as listening to music, engaging in creative projects, and reviewing photo albums are incorporated to help stimulate cognitive function.

Respite Care (Caregiver Relief)

Family caregivers often need temporary relief from their responsibilities, and HHAs provide short-term assistance to ensure continuous care at home. This service allows caregivers to take a necessary break while ensuring that their loved one remains in familiar surroundings with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

Home Health Aides and Skilled Nursing Care Together

HHAs and skilled nurses often work together to provide a full range of in-home support. While HHAs assist with personal and daily care, skilled nursing services address medical needs. Many families find that combining these services offers a well-rounded approach to home-based care, especially following hospital stays.

All home health aides work under the supervision of a registered nurse and undergo thorough background screenings at local, state, and federal levels before joining our team.
