Nearly one in every four Americans is caring for an older adult, usually a parent. While many try to do this on their own, the task can be daunting and the stress can be immense. What if your aging parent doesn’t live in your town? What if you have a full time job? Who will care for your parent then?
Finding a New York City agency that provides in-home care and home healthcare services can be a lifesaving alternative to caring for an aging parent relieving stress and worry for family caregivers.
Our home health aides will monitor their diet by preparing healthy meals or go grocery shopping with or for your parent. A home health aide can also maintain your parent’s calendar and make sure they make it to important appointments and escort them too. An in-home health aide can provide the healthy interaction and activity that are vital for seniors by participating in your parent’s daily life by reading to them, playing games or cards and discussing the news of the day.
When you are ready for home care for yourself or a loved one, 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, elder care attorneys. We even offer elder proofing services for the home as you need to make the home environment safe.
The key to a good home healthcare agency is finding one that is most meticulous about the home health aides it sends out to their clients’ homes. David York Agency takes every step imaginable before hiring a home health aide. We make sure they are skilled, trustworthy and reliable. While a patient is on our roster, s/he is checked on regularly to ensure the highest degree of quality home healthcare and personal service.
