The services offered will vary from agency to agency, but the common feature of all home care services is providing essential care services to your loved ones.

While many of us never come around to accept it, most of us will need some type of care
assistance once we cross the age of 65. You may have been independent in your life so far, handling things independently, sharing the duties with your spouse, or getting other family members to help you with little things you need help with around the house.

As you advance in age and with changes in circumstances, taking care of yourself and moving around can get exceedingly difficult. If you are not thrilled by the idea of shifting to a retirement community, facility for assisted living, or nursing home doesn’t seem appealing to you; home care services may offer you the convenience of living in your own home for longer.

Some of the services that home care services offer include:

Skilled nursing – Most in-home care services in Vancouver provide competent nursing services. Home care services have registered nurses and licensed practical nurses for assistance. They are trained to provide a wide range of services, including observation and monitoring, assessment, medication administration, care, pain management, and others.

Therapy - Many home care services also provide occupational, physical, and speech/language therapy. The job of physical and occupational therapists is to strengthen the body and help the seniors perform daily physical tasks while making them capable of performing those tasks independently. Speech therapists are helpful for patients who have lost some of their speaking ability, for instance, after suffering a stroke.

Monitoring of serious illness and unstable health status – In-Home care services in Vancouver monitor serious health statuses and conditions of your loved ones, especially if you cannot be around throughout the day to do so yourself. They also provide end of life care for patients suffering from terminal illnesses who prefer to pass away in the comfort and peace of their own homes.
