Home Care Assistance

This year, it's no secret that the holidays are going to be tough. Older adults that fall into the higher risk category will likely not be getting together with family members to ensure their safety. While virtual reality and connection does not replace in-person get-togethers, it does help pass the time and engage the mind! To this end, I'd like to share two comprehensive Life Enrichment Guides that Home Care Assistance created. Both are chock-full of fun and meaningful acti...vities to keep the mind and body active from the comfort and safety of home. All of these activities can be accessed through a smartphone or a computer, and will open your eyes to a virtual world of possibility whether it is taking tours of impressionist artwork at Paris’s Musée d’Orsay, viewing a timeline of the world at the British Museum, listening to the Vancouver Symphony’s final performance from BeethovenFest, or watching the animals at the San Diego Zoo! https://homecareassistance.com/life-enrichment-guide See more

One of our clients just moved to a memory care unit last week, and we will miss her dearly! She is 95 years old and had an amazing connection with her primary caregiver, Carmasen. It was hard for her to say goodbye, and hard for us too. Her family was very grateful for our care and support over the years. We’re grateful for every moment we shared! #caregiving #homecare

Meet Laurie Craig, part of the Collier Nursing Services division of Home Care Assistance, a nursing company that just partnered with us! Laurie’s extensive knowledge about home care and impressive background are two of the many reasons we’re glad she’s part of our team!!

We are happy to know that in situations like a transition from the hospital back home, we have been able to help. A client’s daughter expressed her feelings about her mom’s transition. She said that our caregivers were there for as long as she needed, they knew how to handle the situation perfectly, and that she wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again. Thank you, Gab, for letting us know how we helped create a positive outcome with your mother’s transition!
