Getting Started with Home Care
Homecare is a personalized care-at-home service for seniors and individuals with disabilities, typically aged 65 and older. It aims to promote independent living tailored to individual needs.
For seniors who need assistance but wish to age in place, home care professionals offer valuable solutions. Aging in place means living in one's own home for as long as possible, even if external help is needed.

Assessing Care Needs
Assessing care needs is crucial to tailoring home care services effectively.
This process involves evaluating activities of daily living (ADLs), health conditions, mobility, and personal preferences. A comprehensive assessment ensures that your home care services are personalized to meet individual needs.
Creating a Care Plan:
-
schedules for tasks,
-
health monitoring protocols,
-
emergency contacts, and
-
instructions for handling medical equipment
Together, working hand in hand with your primary doctor, your AmoryCare supervising nurse creates a care plan based on your current and future home care needs. Orange Certified home health aides provide this planned care on a hourly or 24-hour live-in basis.
This plan of care is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure that it remains relevant and aligned with the person's evolving health goals and needs.
