Home care services are provided on an hourly or around-the-clock basis. Our caregivers provide support with basic activities of daily living and also have the training and experience to support those living with certain conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson’s. #parkinsonswarrior #alzheimerscare

One thing that makes our caregivers great at what they do is how they approach their jobs. Here's a simple example: When working with clients and their families, rather than ask, "Can I help?", you'll more than likely find them asking, "What can I do to help?". The difference may seem subtle, but this desire to serve and willingness to do virtually whatever is needed for their clients is what sets them apart. To all our amazing caregivers, thank you for contributing to our team and having meaningful impact on our clients' lives!

The Balanced Care Method is based on studies of the extraordinarily long-lived elders living in the islands of Okinawa, Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual there! The Balanced Care Method promotes the lifestyle factors central to these centenarian’s healthy longevity, including cognitive stimulation, nutrition, physical activity, a sense of calm and purpose, and social engagement. HCA incorporates this Method in every aspect of care in our client’s day-to-day lives. #BCM #Longevity #SeniorCare

It’s National Estate Planning Awareness Week! We are proud to be able to partner with estate planners to provide long-term, sustainable care for our clients. Estate planners help seniors with saving money, investing wisely, and planning for all possible contingencies in their future. Estate planners are valuable #carepartners to us; we greatly appreciated all the work you do to advocate for your clients!

A survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Home Care Assistance illuminated interesting results about how seniors and their families feel about hiring in-home care. One of the results showed that over half of those with living parents would be interested in hiring in-home care for their parents that offered safety and wellness procedures at home. If someone you know is looking for home care services, please call (707) 215-4320. #homecare #eldercare #seniorcare

Home Care Assistance’s Balanced Care Method focuses as much on quality of life as on longevity by emphasizing healthy nutrition, physical and mental exercise, and a purposeful and calm lifestyle. Having a healthy diet is an essential part of the Balanced Care Method!
