Home Care Assistance

As a caregiver, you are providing immeasurable care to your loved ones. But who is caring for you? Try these strategies to manage your daily stress.

Today, on World Parkinson's Day, we want to raise awareness for those affected by Parkinson's Disease, whether you've been diagnosed or are a caregiver for someone living with PD. Home Care Assistance is a proud partner of the Parkinson's Foundation, which has allowed us access to the latest research to incorporate in our customized care plans.

No two days are the same when taking care of a loved one with dementia. But your focus on maintaining their quality of life can be. Try these strategies to make sure your parent is taken care of from the comfort of home.

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

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

One of our client’s daughters had some kind words to share about her dad’s care experience with Home Care Assistance. She said, My caregiver was so caring, made my dad smile every day, and cared for him as if he were family. She anticipated his every need, and was terrific! I highly recommend Home Care Assistance. Thank you Krysten K., for this amazing feedback. We are so glad that your dad has had such a positive experience with his caregiver and our team.... #homecare #eldercare
