St. Louis Elderly Care
Seeing loved ones grow older is not easy. At least 70 percent of people over the age of 65 (US Dept. of HHS) will require some form of long-term care services at some point in their lives, whether it’s temporary or full-time. It’s a regrettable fact that seniors in nursing homes and assisted care facilities frequently need more attention than the staff has time to give.
Heavenly Helpers offers assistance for a variety of St. Louis elder care needs. The reasons to use our services are as varied as our clients! Your loved one may be undergoing rehabilitation from surgery, dealing with medical issues, illnesses, or suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. They may require meal preparation, medication reminders or nutritional guidance. They may have incontinence or other toileting issues. We offer assistance with bathing, grooming and hygiene. We can drive our clients to the grocery store, doctor’s appointment or out to lunch. Many times the elderly simply need the company and interaction of a friendly companion. We thoroughly evaluate each and every client to make sure they are provided the right services by a caregiver with the right skill set.
Making the decision to find outside elder care isn’t one you need to make alone. How do you know when you’ve found the right source for Alzheimer’s help and other forms of specialized elder care in the St. Louis metro region? You want an agency where the person on the other end of the phone does more listening than talking. Look for an agency that is passionate about staying on top of the latest research and passing it on to their caregivers. Heavenly Helpers has monthly training sessions to keep our caregivers informed about St. Louis elderly care. Our caregivers consider it a relationship-not a job!
We know that finding the right care can be an emotional and difficult decision. Matching the right caregiver with the right client is a complex process that takes experience, skill and intuition. It takes a keen understanding of what psychological, social and physical issues the elderly face. What sorts of traits in a caregiver or companion is a particular client looking for? We have found seniors to have definite feelings and opinions on what constitutes a good caregiver and companion.
Over many years of delivering high-quality, customized St. Louis senior home care services, Heavenly Helpers knows that the key is polite, well trained, well-informed caregivers who are also passionately concerned with the welfare of their clients. These are the types of caregivers that seniors welcome into their homes!
Heavenly Helpers brings years of experience in providing ongoing support for families including respite care. We would love to hear about your needs.
