caregivers for seniors in new york cityIf you are responsible for caring for an elderly loved one, you probably could use some help to lighten the load. But without experience in the healthcare industry, it’s hard to know what level of caregiver you need. In-home healthcare needs can be easily met with a little bit of research and the help of an experienced homecare professional.

Agencies Help Tremendously….

When you are ready, establishing a relationship with a home healthcare agency opens up vistas to a host of services tailored to the elderly. You have access to a large pool of available aides when you need them. All the logistics are arranged for by someone else.

Agencies such as ours also have access to a network of professionals such as social workers, eldercare attorneys. We even offer elder proofing services for the home as you need to make the home environment safe.

If you have a loved one in the New York City area who is in need of in-home care, contact us. We can help determine the best course of action and provide any of the above support staff to help your loved one age in place.

  • Our home healthcare agency understands that caregiving is a process that demands compassion, caring, patience & expertise.
  • Our home health aides are up-to-date with the latest caregiver techniques and are ready and available whenever you decide to begin service.
  • Families are encouraged to participate in the decision making regarding the care of their loved ones as well as the on-going home healthcare our caregivers provide.

Here is an easy-to-understand summary in-home healthcare caregiver roles:

  1. A Personal Care Aide (PCA) provides general support but does not address any medical needs. They often assist with daily chores, bathing, preparing meals, cleaning, or just being a companion to someone who needs a friendly face to come visit on a regular basis.
  2. A Home Health Aide (HHA) is the next level up, and can do all of the above, and more. They take care of extra tasks like checking vital signs, or changing medical dressings. Home Health Aides have training and certification.
  3. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) has a higher level of education and provides basic medical and nursing care. They check blood pressure as well as insert catheters. An LPN also ensures the comfort of patients by assisting them to bathe or dress. They discuss health care issues, and report the status of patients to registered nurses and doctors.
  4. A Registered Nurse (RN) is the highest level of medical professionals typically available for home care.  They usually oversee the treatment plan and administration of medication. An RN can keep an eye on medical test results and handle most of the higher-level medical needs of a patient.

While the terms can be confusing, an experienced agency can work with you to determine your needs. During a free phone consultation, an expert in patient services can ask questions and get to know your situation so the right recommendation is made for both the client and the family members in need of support. Questions such as procedures, fees, and insurance payments are also covered during this initial discussion.

  • We offer highly-personalized home health care services to assist you and your family with the care of an aging loved one.
  • Our experienced healthcare professionals are highly-trained and capable of giving your loved one the care and attention they need.
  • Many of the families we serve come to see our caregivers as family members, as they quickly become integrated into the everyday lives of the household.
