As we age our needs change and for many loved ones, growing old means help is needed with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) such as dressing, grooming, housekeeping, and medication monitoring. Reliance Home Health Caregivers understands how challenging it is for family member’s to provide the daily assistance needed for loved ones at home; That is why we offer professional solutions for senior adults and their families who are affected during this period of transition. We use an individualized assessment to review the needs of your loved one through discussions and active listening to your needs; when necessary we consult with the physician(s) of the care recipient, social workers, hospitals, or nursing home staff.
Our home care companions, respite caregivers and 24-hour live in caregivers are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, we have a supervisor who is accessible at all hours of the day as well as a 24- hour telephone line even when our office is closed. If you would like more information about the services we offer please feel free to call or submit an inquiry form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
