How to Get Started with Home Care in Lower Bucks County

We offer personalized care plans because every client has different care needs — and a different support system in place. To provide the most enriching care for your loved one, we'll guide your family through the following:

• The initial conversation — When you reach out to our office, we can discuss your situation, inform you of our services, and give you an idea of the cost.
• The no-cost consultation — Next, a care manager will meet with your loved one and other family members to determine your specific care needs, answer any questions, and start forming a custom care plan.
• The care planning process — Based on what we learn during the consultation, we'll work with your family to outline the specific services and schedule that work best for you.
• Caregiver selection — We'll find a care professional from our team whose personality, availability, and ability are the best fit for your family's needs.

The conversation doesn't end once care begins. We'll monitor your loved one's condition and maintain regular contact with your family to make sure everyone is comfortable.

What is Companion Care?

If your family member doesn't get out as often as they used to, or their social circle has shrunk over time, they may grow isolated. This, in turn, increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and other complications. As our caregivers assist your loved one with activities of daily living, they can also provide another invaluable service — companionship.

By visiting your family member regularly and engaging them with conversation, interesting activities, and warmth, our caregivers can enhance your loved one's quality of life.

What is Respite Care?

Are you providing care for a family member? Are you starting to feel depleted and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you've lost control of other areas of your life? Let us help.

We offer respite care, so family caregivers can take a break from their duties for a brief period. Whether you need to check in with your own kids, catch up on work, or simply rest, you can do so without guilt or worry.

What is Personal Care?

Everyday tasks like going grocery shopping or getting dressed can often get more difficult with age. If you're concerned that your loved one can't get around as easily as before, or may be neglecting their needs in some way, our personal care can help.

Based on your family member's unique needs, a caregiver can help with a range of basic tasks. These include:

• Buying groceries and running various errands
• Planning out and making regular, well-balanced meals
• Giving medication reminders
• Helping your loved one bathe and get dressed
• Offering support when walking
• General tidying and other household chores

Specialized Care for Dementia and Alzheimer's

Millions of seniors have been diagnosed with some form of dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common form. It's especially beneficial for seniors with dementia to stay in a place that feels familiar and comfortable. However, they may need specialized support to do so safely.

Our dementia care and Alzheimer's care include medication reminders, monitoring, wandering prevention, meal prep, transport to appointments, and other services to address their symptoms.

Our Palliative Care and End of Life Care Options

We're here for families in the Lower Bucks County area during their most trying times. If someone you love has been diagnosed with a serious health condition, we can be there to provide comfort and support.

Our palliative care is a holistic care service that focuses on physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

If a family member is approaching the end-of-life transition, our caregivers can make them as physically comfortable as possible. We can also give your family the space you need to be together.

Our Program to Reduce Hospital Readmissions

Has someone you love recently been hospitalized for an illness or injury? Hospital readmission rates are highest within the first few weeks. We've created our Ready-Set-Go Home program to give clients the support they need.

From helping your family ask the right questions at the hospital to assisting with your loved one's recovery at home, we'll be there.

Our Program to Reduce Fall Risks

It's a grim fact that falls are the leading cause of serious injury among seniors. A simple slip can have devastating consequences, but our caregivers can help. Our Safe & Steady Fall Prevention program includes personalized recommendations to reduce your loved one's fall risk. Our caregivers can also provide walking and transferring support.

Our Social Care Program

There are so many tools to help family members keep in touch, whatever the distance. Through our social care program, we can help your loved one learn to use (or get more comfortable using) video chat, email, social media, and other useful programs.
