Live In Care

When considering Lend A Hand for live in care or visiting nurse assistance, it is important that you or your loved ones understand the options available so you know what to expect. Live in care or visiting nurse care agencies typically offer homemaking services, companionship and personal care for patients.

Homemaker Services
Some families come to Lend A Hand with an elderly or disabled relative that is able to take care of personal needs such as taking a bath, dressing or using the bathroom but needs assistance with daily tasks that require a little more effort. We provide Connecticut residents with live in care and visiting nurse services such as transportation to appointments and errands, shopping, meal preparation, laundry and housecleaning.

Companionship
It is quite common for home bound seniors or injured patients to feel lonely or depressed. Our live in care visiting nurse companions truly enhance patient’s lives by being a friendly face there to interact and keep these patients from feeling alone. Sometimes all that is needed for a person to maintain their independent living is a companion aide, who can take them on walks, watch a movie or attend medical appointments. Companion aides can also be used for elder daycare or respite care to provide a family member a break or time they need to take care of their own personal business or appointment.

Personal Assistance
As a home care CT agency, Lend A Hand provides qualified nursing aides to provide patients with assistance in what the medical and insurance industry call the activities of daily living or ADLs. These are activities a person must be able to perform on their own to live independently. Our aides are specially trained to help with special diet, medication reminders, movement, toileting and bathing.
