We offer many types of care.
Choose a standard option, or ask for a custom care-plan.
What we do:
Private Duty Care is our main service. It is the care we provide at your residence.
We also provide Geriatric Care Management, where we coordinate the care provided by others. Together, the two types of service entail these duties:
- Manage care on behalf of relatives and trustees
- Light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry
- Help with personal care, bathing, and dressing
- Ambulatory assistance
- Provide caring companionship
- Driving, shopping, and outdoor activities
- Keep track of medications and doctor’ visits
- Assist with phone calls and correspondence
Geriatric Care Management
Older people often rely on family and friends to supervise their care. If your family and friends live far away, you can rely on us instead.
A trained professional from our office will assess your care needs, arrange services (our own and third-party), and monitor care on an ongoing basis.
