Aging In Place

Aging in place is defined as “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level” according to the Center for Disease Control.

Each year more and more people are choosing to pursue this route; the Report to the Nation on Livable Communities published by AARP in December 2011, indicates that a substantial majority of adults would prefer to age in place—that is, remain in their home as long as possible; 90 percent of adults over the age of 65 indicate that they would prefer to stay in their current residence as they age.

Aging in Place describes the lifestyle that many clients of Assisting Hands Home Care have decided to maintain. They prefer to stay, at home, with a little help in the actives of daily living, rather than go to an Assisted Living or Nursing Home Facility. You stay at the place where you have lived for years, using products, services and conveniences which allow you to remain home as your circumstances change.

“From our first interaction with the owner and staff of Assisting Hands in West Palm Beach, we felt their desire to meet our particular needs in the care of our aging parent with limited mobility. They understood that she wished to stay in her home and wanted her own high standards of housekeeping and care maintained. Assisting Hands worked with the family to put in place the very best caregivers possible for our parent. The love, professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail shown by the caregivers and the staff was beyond our highest expectations. Communication was consistent, courteous, and excellent. Our family--living and working at some distance from our parent-- felt supported. Our parent felt comforted, loved, cared for, and secure in her own home, as we had hoped. Assisting Hands became an extension of our family.”

“A message from my mom....... About 8 months ago I realized I needed to get help. My husband was into his 10th year of Alzheimer. After interviewing a few care-giving agencies, I decided on Assisting Hands. I felt Marina was not only professional, but she also really understood the qualities we needed in a caregiver. Ivonne has been with us for about seven months and she definitely fits our needs. We sincerely appreciate Marina, Ivonne and the staff for their help and guidance! ~ Maria, Lake Worth”
