Q: Why is Health Aide good for seniors?
A: Our experienced caregivers offer seniors safety, companionship, emotional support and they make sure they receive proper nutrition, they are taking the correct medication, and more.
Health Aide caregivers are highly skilled and specially trained in emotional support, nutritional guidance, fall prevention, brain-sharpening activities and even light physical activity. We spend significant time matching the perfect caregiver with the client based on personality, life experience and commonalities.
Q: Why is Health Aide good for seniors’ family members?
A: Health Aide brings peace of mind to families because your loved one is cared for by the very best, most reliable caregivers. On call to serve you 24/7, we eliminate the effort and worry of finding, screening, paying and managing a caregiver.

If your caregiver becomes ill or is unable to keep the scheduled visit, our staffing team will work to find you a qualified substitute caregiver. Health Aide reduces stress for the whole family. Plus, our caregivers allow family members to enjoy quality time with their loved ones, instead of focusing on stressful daily needs.

Q: What does it mean when you say lifestyle care?
A: By remaining in their homes, seniors are able to maintain the lifestyle they have been accustomed to enjoying throughout their life. Keeping all their possessions and familiar surroundings, home care clients are able to visit the same stores, restaurants, neighbors and parks they know and love.
Q: How do you supervise caregivers?
A: You don’t just hire a caregiver. You work with a full Care Team to ensure the highest standards of care are met. Before beginning home care services, the care team creates a schedule and a plan that covers all aspects of the appropriate care and go over it with the caregiver. An RN Care Manager or Client Care Manager at Health Aide makes regular Quality Assurance visits to ensure the quality of care is exceptional and makes changes as needed.
Q: Health Aide caregivers provide excellent help at home. Can they assist in locations besides the senior’s residence?
A: Yes. We can visit seniors anywhere they need care. During hospital stays, our hospital sitters can provide around-the-clock companionship and monitoring for safety.

Many residents of senior care communities also hire Health Aide caregivers to provide the personal one-to-one attention they deserve.
We can even accompany seniors on vacations, enabling them to travel in safety and freedom.

Q: What is respite care and how can it help family caregivers?

A: Often, a family member or friend cares for an aging loved one, but the job can be stressful and puts pressure on the relationship. Respite Care is temporary or hourly care designed to give family caregivers a much needed break so they can take care of our priorities in their life and prevent caregiver burnout.
