It has become much more common for senior citizens to decide to age in place in their own homes than to receive care in a retirement home or assisted living facility. This is because aging in place allows seniors to retain some independence in their lives while remaining in the home that they have spent their adult lives working to earn. However, most senior citizens cannot live safely on their own.
Our services include: meal preparation, help with eating, grocery shopping and light housekeeping
Seniors may be dealing with chronic conditions, illnesses, and limitations in mobility and cognitive ability that make it difficult for them to take care of their homes and themselves. Assisting Hands Palm Beach can help seniors age in place by providing professional non medical home health care services.
