Home Care Assistance

Meet Karen Szoke, a Staffing Manager, here at Home Care Assistance! Karen loves working at HCA, and has a lot of amazing memories with both caregivers and clients. One memory she recalls was when one of her clients would tell her stories from his past. She said, His smile would light up the room when I would come and visit. Thank you Karen, for being a valued team member at Home Care Assistance!

A survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Home Care Assistance revealed interesting results about how seniors and their families feel about hiring in-home care. One of the results showed that two in five seniors aged 50+ would be more open to home care if the care provider was someone they selected and were able to form a relationship/companionship. At HCA, one of our top priorities in providing care is finding a perfect match between our client and caregiver, so that t...hey can form a meaningful and caring relationship. If someone you know is looking for home care services, please call: (888) 628-6687. #homecare

Whether your client is transitioning directly home after a hospitalization or moving through the care continuum via a rehabilitation or medical care facility, one-on-one home care is crucial for a safe and successful recovery. With Home Care Assistance’s Transition Home Package, our specially trained caregivers can transport a client home from the care facility or hospital, providing essential support during an often stressful time. Once home, caregivers provide monitoring, reminders, and emotional support to help the individual recover successfully. https://homecareassistance.com/caregiving-/hospital-to-home
