Sometimes, people just need a little extra help. That’s what home care provides–assistance with daily activities and companionship for people who need it, on a short or long-term basis. Home care is not a medical service, which means it doesn’t require a prescription from a doctor like home health care does.
Home Care
Home care can be anything from daily chores and check-ins to 24-hour care. Customized home care can help older adults age in place in their own homes, balancing the independence they want with the help they need--in a way that can change and adapt as they age.
Home caregiver services can include, but certainly aren’t limited to, things like:
Ensuring that medications are taken regularly
Daily chores and housekeeping
Running errands
Help with bathing and dressing safely
Preparing meals
When to Seek Home Care Services
It can be difficult to realize that you or a family member may need professional assistance.
Nursing and retirement homes are always options, but they’re not the only options available--especially for those who don’t want to leave the home they love, but need a little extra help to stay there safely. That’s when home care can step in and help.
The decision to seek additional care involves so many factors–logistical, financial, medical, and, of course, emotional. We’re here to help offer advice and experience to help you find the right fit for your loved one.
At Teton Care Co. we want to help people live safely and happily in their own homes –and that looks different for everyone. That’s why we offer free consultations and customized services for all our clients.
