Personal Care & Companionship

Partners in Care home health aides respect each client’s individual needs and desire to maintain quality of life, whether that means regular walks in the park, afternoon tea, reading the newspaper, or discussing current events.

Our aides are assigned for at least four hours a day, with no minimum number of days, and are available to fit into your schedule. Service can be short- or long-term, periodic or continuous. If an aide is not available due to illness or vacation, a replacement aide is always offered to make sure the client does not have to do without the assistance he or she requires.

In addition, a Partners in Care registered nurse supervises the aide, as well as oversees the Plan of Care and updates it as necessary.

Our home health aides can help with:

• Reminders to take medications
• Recording of vital signs, including pulse and blood pressure
• Getting to and from medical and other appointments
• Food shopping, cooking and meal preparation
• Bathing, dressing and grooming (bath service is also available separately as a two-hour visit)
• Short-term personal assistance after injuries or procedures
• Long-term care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other debilitating conditions
