In Home Care – Assisting Hands – Schaumburg, IL

Our Office Serves: Schaumburg, IL | Elk Grove Village, IL | Rolling Meadows, IL | Des Plaines, IL | Palatine, IL | Hoffman Estates, IL | Inverness, IL | Niles, IL | | Park Ridge, IL | | Chicago, IL

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is an extremely challenging experience for families. As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the physical and mental demands on the caregiver can gradually become overwhelming. Physical tasks like bathing, dressing, and toileting may require total assistance.

In-home care is most often the best choice, as many families prefer to keep their parents at home so that they can remain in familiar surroundings with less disruption in routines, resulting in reduced confusion.

How Assisting Hands Home Care

At Assisting Hands Home Care in Schaumburg, IL we believe in using a team approach that includes coordination with doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, family members, and others involved in our client’s healthcare needs.

Our Quality Caregivers are trained to adapt to the changing needs of the patient because no two people experience Alzheimer’s disease in the same way. As a result, there’s no one approach to caregiving. Our main goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Our caregivers can assist you with:

  • Coordinating all medical and support services.
  • Developing day-to-day routines and activities.
  • Effectively use of verbal and non-verbal communications techniques.
  • Hygiene, ambulation, and transfers.
  • Securing a safe home environment to prevent falls.
  • Incontinence prevention and care.
  • Shopping, healthy meal preparation, eating assistance.
  • Light housekeeping and routine errands.
  • Transporting to and from medical, therapy, or other appointments.
  • Medication reminders.
  • Patient assessment and monitoring of vital signs.
  • Assessing for fall risk due to unsteady gait or dizziness and implementing a prevention plan.
