Aging in place has become the new norm for senior citizens as more seniors are choosing to remain in their homes than leave for assisted living or a nursing home.
This phenomenon has led to a higher demand for in-home care services, and these services have improved over the years to meet the care needs of senior citizens and adults with disabilities who prefer to live in their own homes.
Many adults in this position can handle a lot of their daily tasks, but as they get older, certain chores and even personal care activities may become more difficult to handle.
At Assisting Hands, we provide advanced home care services in Palatine, IL to give senior citizens and adults with disabilities the care they need to continue living at home.
We hire highly qualified caregivers who can provide excellent care and companionship, as well as help with certain activities such as transportation and housekeeping.
