Introduction
Our home care staff provides services to frail or disabled individuals of Franklin County, age 60 and over, enabling them to stay in their homes as long as possible. The services include personal care, homemaking, and escort. The client’s needs are assessed and the services are provided under the supervision of a case manager. Fees for home care services are based on a sliding scale according to the client’s income.
 

 

  
Our home care program is a non-medical service that assists individuals with activities of daily living. It is important to understand the difference between non-medical home care and home health care. Home health care is specialized medical care that is provided by trained medical professionals, which are usually ordered by a physician and may be covered by insurance.
Some tasks such as housekeeping and shopping can become increasingly difficult as we age. Personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming can become unmanageable when you are alone. These are the services that our home care staff can provide to improve the daily living of many older adults.
For many caregivers, it is difficult to care for all of the needs of an elderly family member and still have enough time and energy left for your own family, keeping a full time job, and most importantly taking care of yourself. Exhaustion and stress can become overwhelming. If this description fits you, it may be time to consider home care services.
Most seniors who become home  care recipients prefer to stay in their own homes rather than move into a residential care facility. Moreover, economically, home care is usually less expensive than nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Our home care case managers and aides are trained specialists who understand our client’s needs and concerns. They bring respect and compassion to their work. To ensure the highest standards, we conduct background checks for all of our employees.
We provide home care services whether your needs are temporary, long term, or if you are seeking occasional assistance.   Our home care program is the bridge between older adults and the community resources they need to stay in a safe, home environment
