Staying at home is the best possible situation for most senior citizens. When an elderly person is no longer able to perform all of their own housekeeping or activities of daily living, they could benefit from at home elder care in Elmhurst. We employ trained and certified professionals to help senior citizens with a variety of personal care and household tasks.
When an elderly person is able to stay at home, this is preferable to moving into a facility. The home environment is more comfortable, safe and familiar to you or your loved one. You or your loved one might need some in-home help with activities such as doing the laundry, preparing meals or taking medication. If you or your loved one recently had a fall or another injury or illness that required hospitalization, we offer help with additional activities such as getting dressed, combing and styling hair and shaving or trimming beards and mustaches.
Our professionals may also offer help with eating, showering or bathing and ambulation. In many cases, our professionals provide companionship during their visits with you or your loved one. We can help sort through photographs, care for houseplants, read the newspaper and do a puzzle or game. These activities offer socialization, engagement and exercise of the mind and spirit.
We take the time to assess your loved one and determine which types of assistance they are in need of. We can come on a daily basis for several hours, a short visit each day or intermittently as needed.
When you or your loved one is in need of at home elder care in Elmhurst, contact us at Home and Hearth Care. We also invite you to learn more about our elder care services online.
