Assisting Hands Home Care provides comprehensive elderly care and senior home care services in Sollitt and Bourbonnais, IL to help senior citizens who wish to age in their homes. Our staff will meet with you and your senior loved ones to evaluate their care needs and form a home care plan to ensure they get the care and assistance they need to continue living at home.
The current generation of senior citizens has many options available to them when it comes to receiving care. Seniors can choose to move to an assisted living facility or nursing home, but they also have the option of receiving professional care in their homes. Choosing home care will give seniors more freedom and control over their day-to-day lives and allow them to remain in the comfortable and familiar environment of their home.
While seniors can retain much of their freedom by aging in place, they will likely need some care and assistance to ensure they can live at home safely. Chronic illnesses, dementia, and decreased mobility can make it difficult for seniors to effectively care for themselves and take care of their home. Family members can often provide some assistance to help their senior loved ones, but it becomes difficult for relatives to continue providing care when their needs increase. In these instances, it is best to work with a home care agency like Assisting Hands Home Care.
