Senior citizens who have decided to age in their homes instead of going to a nursing home generally enlist the help of home care agencies.
Home care service providers like Assisting Hands Home Care send trained and qualified caregivers to the homes of senior citizens to provide non-medical care which can include personal assistance with grooming and bathing, help with house work, and transportation to handle important errands.
While these services are effective for helping seniors age in place safely, many in-home caregivers are not certified to provide skilled care that may be required by some seniors.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can provide skilled care services for senior citizens in Fort Myers, FL. Our caregivers have been trained and certified in skilled care to help administer medications, dress wounds, and care for those suffering with chronic diseases and other conditions.
You and your loved ones can rest assured that our caregivers will provide the skilled care that your loved one needs to live safely and comfortably at home.
