Due to advances in healthcare and technology, Americans are living longer lives than ever before. This is a wonderful thing! Although, also brings with it more roles and responsibilities that weren’t considered in years past. Family dynamic has also changed, as multigenerational households have decreased over the years. More and more people over 65 are living independently on their own.
Our Care Management and Advocacy service was designed to meet the needs of the 25% of the population that lives more than an hour away from their children/immediate family. This service may also be used when the burden of care has become too much on a spouse or child with the responsibility of primary caretaker.
Caring full-time for a loved one is an incredibly honorable yet challenging task. Often times the stress of such a situation can carry negative health consequences for the primary caretaker themselves.
Winchester In Home Care helps ease these challenges by taking on some or all of the responsibilities of caring for your loved one. Tasks could include something as simple as daily check-ins to the more complex responsibilities of complete household, lifestyle or care management.
Using person-centered care we work side by side with you the client, your family, healthcare practitioners and your community to give you the absolute best care possible. So, no matter the situation or dynamic, Winchester In Home Care is always here to help.
