Senior In-Home Care in Fort Lee, NJ

Full-Service Home Care

We meet with you and your family during our in-home consultation service to determine the level of care that your loved ones require.  This makes it easier to create a care plan that best suits their needs and ensures that they can live safely at home.

We can offer the following as part of our in-home care services:

• Elderly Home Care: Your elderly loved ones who have decided to age in place but require support can receive care through our all-inclusive senior home care services.
• Personal care: Seniors and disabled individuals may find it difficult to take care of themselves and perform activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, dressing, bathing, moving, and using the lavatory. Our caregivers can help with any ADLs that your loved ones require assistance with.
• Companionship Care: Our caregivers will develop a personal friendship and bond with your loved ones.
• Care for Alzheimer’s and dementia: While care in familiar surroundings is beneficial for those with dementia, constant supervision is necessary to guarantee their safety. Our caregivers have experience caring for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and they are able to counteract common behaviors of those who are suffering from these conditions.
• Respite Care: The demanding and stressful job of taking care of a relative might cause a family caregiver to ignore their own health and well-being. With our respite care services, we can take care of your loved ones while your family caregiver takes a break.
• Live-in/ 24-hour care: We can help individuals and seniors who need care around-the-clock by providing live-in and 24-hour home care services. Our caregiver can live in the home with your loved one for 3-4 days at a time with our live-in care, and we can have multiple caregivers rotate shifts to keep an awake and alert caregiver in the home, 24 hours a day.
• Postoperative care: Elderly patients may find it difficult to recuperate at home following a surgery or hospital stay. We can help your loved ones recover by providing individualized post-operative care and support while adhering to their discharge instructions.
• Overnight care: If you are uncomfortable leaving your loved ones home alone at night, we can arrange for a caregiver to come in the evening and stay up all night to provide care and support as required.
• Parkinson’s care: Our caregivers are able to provide in-home care to ensure the safety and comfort of individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
• Non-medical Hospice Care: Seniors and adults with a terminal illness or limited life expectancy can benefit from our in-home hospice care services.
• Stroke Care and Recovery: Stroke is not an uncommon problem among the elderly, especially with its high risk of recurrence due to lack of managment. At Assisting Hands Home Care, our trained and licensed caregivers specialize in providing care for seniors who survived from stroke. We ensure that your elderly loved ones take their medications correctly, perform appropriate recovery exercises, and consult their doctors on a regular basis. Our caregivers learn the relevant factors to help patients recover effectively. Each stroke patient has unique needs, but common factors influencing recovery include the patient’s health status before the stroke, mobility, and caregiver support. Depending on these factors, recovery can take from a few months to several years. Our caregivers will support your elderly loved ones throughout their recovery journey, assisting with activities of daily living, commuting, walking, balance exercises, and more. We will commit to the treatment plan with you and be there every step of the way.
• Transition Care: When your elderly loved ones return home from hospitals, it may seem like the worst is behind you. But it quickly becomes clear that your loved ones will need someone by their sides all day. Balancing a job, taking care of family, and providing the care that your senior adults required may seem impossible. You can rely on Assisting Hands Home Care with our transition care services. Our trained caregivers will step in when you need us most, allowing you to work and care for your family with the peace of mind that your loved ones are in good hands. 
• Maternity Care: The journey of maternity care doesn’t end at the hospital. Assisting Hands Home Care can provide comprehensive home care support for new mothers and their babies, ensuring their well-being beyond the delivery room.

The activities of daily living  (ADLs) services we offer include but are not limited to:

• Meal preparation: Our caregivers can prepare and serve meals for those who are unable to do it themselves, and we can handle the cleanup. Your loved one’s dietary needs will be accommodated by the meals we prepare.

• Light housekeeping: Among the many light housekeeping tasks we can assist your loved ones with include vacuuming, taking out the trash, dusting, doing laundry, and other household tasks.
