Our Services

We offer a wide range of health aide services to meet the needs of our clients. Our services include in-home care, hospice care, wound care, and more.

Reliable HEALTH AIDE Staff for Your Needs

Skilled and Compassionate Caregivers

We provide specialized home health care to support people with a variety of needs, including cancer care, dementia and Alzheimer’s, neurological conditions, serious illnesses, and end-of-life care. Our goal is to help patients stay comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own homes while also supporting their families.

Our caregivers assist with everyday activities like bathing, dressing, walking, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and running errands. We also focus on safety by helping prevent falls and making the home environment safer.

For those recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, we offer post-surgical care, rehabilitation support, and transitional care to help prevent readmission and promote a smooth recovery. We also provide short-term (respite) care to give family caregivers a break when needed.

24 Hour Care

Always Best Care helps you find the perfect round-the-clock in-home care plan to fit your loved one’s circumstances and needs. 24-hour care is support that is available to anyone who needs extra help to carry on living at home. It can include help with shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, dressing and all other daily tasks. The need for 24-hour care can be prompted by accident, illness, dementia, frailty, disability, or frailty caused by the aging process.

Hospice Support / End-of-Life

Hospice care is for people who are nearing the end of life. The services are provided by a team of health care professionals who maximize comfort for a person who is terminally ill by reducing pain and addressing physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.

Incontinence / Toileting

There are several types of incontinence, which include overflow incontinence, transient incontinence, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and knowing a little about the different types can help the caretaker and the family make the best decisions about what levels of toileting assistance should be included in the care plan of their loved one.

Hospital to Home

Following a discharge from the hospital, the first three days are critical. During this time frame and beyond, the support given to a senior and their family play a vital role in the recovery process at home. A hospital-to-home program offers a comprehensive and flexible solution that can provide the physical and emotional support needed to recover safely and comfortably.

Bathing, Grooming & Dressing

Bathing, dressing and grooming play a large role in a senior’s daily routines. Maintaining good personal hygiene can be vital in preventing sickness, while dressing can impact an elderly individual’s self-esteem. Grooming and dressing are integral to the activities of daily living.

Cognitive impairment

Cognitive impairment is not an illness, but a description of someone’s condition. It means they have trouble with things like memory or paying attention. They might have trouble speaking or understanding. And they might have difficulty recognizing people, places or things, and might find new places or situations overwhelming.

Companionship

Companionship care is primarily emotional support and companionship for seniors who are generally healthy and who want to remain independent at home.

Errands & Transportation

Help with errands, shopping, and transportation falls under the category of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These skills are necessary in order to live independently and that all of us do once we are up, out of bed, dressed, and ready to start our day. Transportation services for seniors can help maintain a level of independence without the need for the senior to drive themselves.

Escort to Activities

Laundry Services

For seniors, laundry can be a challenge. As people age, they may have less energy and stamina. One of the biggest benefits of laundry services is that they can help seniors stay independent. Laundry services can also help keep seniors healthy by ensuring the are wearing clean clothing.

Light housekeeping

Light housekeeping includes things like watering the plants, dusting of surfaces and knickknacks, as well as picking up newspapers, magazines and other clutter. It includes emptying the trash, vacuuming and sweeping of main walk areas. It can also include organizing drawers, shelves and closets. In a nutshell light housekeeping is completing the specific tasks required to tidy up areas that a client uses. Examples of what a light housekeeping service does not include are heavy-duty cleaning tasks that require moving heavy furniture, washing windows, cleaning carpets, or scrubbing floors. Nor does it cover outside chores, such as shoveling snow off sidewalks, raking, or mowing the grass.

Live-in-Care

Live-in care is for seniors who need around-the-clock assistance from a caregiver. Assistance is generally non-medical and includes such tasks as medication management, shopping, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADL). Though caregivers sleep at the senior’s residence, they generally aren’t required for assistance at night.

Meal Preparation

Meal preparation and eating healthy and nutritional food is important for seniors. Meal preparation assistance for the elderly is not just about cooking, but involves so much more. Maintaining a regular and consistent schedule can also play a role in emotional and physical health.

Medication Reminders

Medication reminders are a nonmedical service provided by a caregiver.

Mobility

Mobility is the ability to move or walk freely and easily — is critical for functioning well and living independently. As we age, we may experience changes to our mobility. There are many reasons for these changes, including changes in gait (how we walk), balance, and physical strength.

Nutrition Monitoring

Nutrition is an important element of health in the older population and affects the aging process. The prevalence of malnutrition is increasing in this population and is associated with a decline in functional status, impaired muscle function, decreased bone mass, immune dysfunction, anemia, reduced cognitive function, poor wound healing, delayed recovery from surgery, higher hospital readmission rates, and mortality.

Overnight Care

Overnight care revolves around a multitude of services which may include help using the restroom in the middle of the night, providing fluids and snacks in the evening, and assisting with preparing for bed. Elderly individuals may also receive help with transfer assistance throughout the night. Overnight caregivers can also prepare breakfast and offer morning care.

Safety Supervision

Because more accidents occur inside the home than anywhere else, seniors and their caregivers must do everything in their power to make sure their homes are as safe and secure as possible. Some of the steps that can be taken to ensure homes are safe for seniors and their families include removing clutter, adding better lighting, rearranging cabinets and drawers, and assessing the safety risks of the bathroom.

Technology Assistance

Technology can help the elderly live independently for longer by facilitating preventive care, early detection of, and response to, emerging health issues, as well as timely support for daily tasks. Technology offers a wide range of benefits to older adults. Seniors who use technology can also feel more connected to others, can be better engaged in the community and world around them, and be more informed about current events.

How Does A Care Consult Work?

When you meet with our Care Manager - here's what you may experience:

Needs Assessment

The Care Manager will ask many questions to discover where your loved one could benefit from a helping hand, along with what aspects of daily life are going just fine right now.

Review of ADLs

Next, the Care Manager will ask questions about common Activities of Daily Living: Bathing, dressing, cooking, transferring in and out of chair or bed – those types of activities. Are they still manageable, or do they require assistance?

Identify Opportunities for Support

Once the Care Manager has assessed the situation, they will explore care options the family may benefit from, based on any gaps or deficiencies noted.

Home Safety Check

A tour of the home will help identify any environmental safety concerns, such as trip hazards, lack of grab bars in wet areas, misuse of extension cords or space heaters – or any other safety concerns.

Social Assessment

Next, the Care Manager will identify any physical or emotional risks associated with isolation and loneliness.

Care Coordination Plan

The Care Manager will then discuss any health concerns, medication management and other issues that should be addressed in a care coordination plan.

Care Consult Recommendations

We will review the results with you and make recommendations. Together, you can discuss the hours and types of care that would best support your family.
