Why Choose Assisting Hands Palos
Founded on the principles of caring for others as we would like to be cared for, Assisting Hands is committed to providing compassionate, dependable home care services. We strive to treat each client with dignity and respect so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Our caregivers are screened, uniformed, trained, bonded and insured for your peace of mind. Whether you or your loved one is living in a nursing home or at home, our caregivers can help with a number of ADLs (activities of daily living) and IADLs (instrumental activities of daily living), from a few hours a week to 24/7. We can be there for you or your loved one.
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
It can be difficult to care for a loved one with dementia, especially during the later stages. But our caregivers are trained to take a team approach, working with nurses, doctors, social workers, therapists and family members to help them feel safe and comfortable.
Home Care
To help your loved one live safely and comfortably at home, our caregivers are available to help with all activities of daily living. From personal care tasks like bathing, brushing their hair and eating to companionship and transportation, we can help with each of your loved one’s needs.
Senior / Elderly Care
If you or a loved one is facing difficulties taking care of themselves, such as lack of nutritious, living in a messy home or just feeling lonely, Assisting Hands Palos can help. Our senior and elderly care services are designed to keep your loved one comfortable and feeling fulfilled, whether it’s cleaning the home, preparing meals or playing board games.
Personal Care
Everything from eating, transferring, bathing and even putting on makeup, this can be particularly challenging for aging seniors. But our trained and reliable caregivers can assist with all these tasks and more to keep your loved one healthy and comfortable.
Parkinson’s Care
As the needs of aging seniors continue to change, our caregivers are experienced in adapting to these new needs. We also understand that all patients with Parksinson’s respond differently, so we focus on improving the quality of life for both the patient and the family.
Respite Care
If you or your spouse is a veteran, it is likely that you will qualify for VA home care as we are an approved vendor. Please reach out to your social worker to see if you qualify for this benefit.
Hospice Support
As one’s condition declines, our caregivers will do everything they can to keep them comfortable and to allow the family as much time with them as possible. Our goal is to improve their quality of life through comfort, companionship and dignity.
Medical Alert System
For seniors today, falls are the leading cause of death. It’s also 70% likely that a senior will experience another fall if they have fallen in the past. Assisting Hands Palos can help by introducing a Medical Alert System to contact paramedics and their loved ones with a touch of a button. This way, they can get help right away in an emergency.
How to Pay for Care
While the overall cost of home care is actually less expensive than an assisted living facility, there are ways to pay for care. Everything from long-term care plans, line of credit and a reverse mortgage are all available options. Our caregivers can also help family caregivers with respite care services, such as taking your loved one to the doctor or pharmacy, making breakfast or lunch, going grocery shopping or just stopping by for companionship. This way, family caregivers won’t have to worry about quitting their job or taking time off of work to attend to their loved one’s needs.
