Millions of American seniors suffer from progressive or terminal illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and ALS. In years gone by, seniors with these conditions may have feared the certainty of a nursing home.
Today, compassionate elder care services can help seniors with these and other progressive and terminal illnesses age in place while maximizing their independence and quality of life.
Comfort Keepers provides a plethora of homecare services and supports such as light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation. Caregivers also assist with local transportation support, run errands, and provide companion care.
Seniors who need help with personal care, such as toileting, incontinence support, bathing, grooming, and dressing will find Comfort Keepers caregivers to be compassionate and discreet. Seniors with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS will eventually require support in most areas of daily living.
As the disease progresses, seniors lose their ability to speak and write, cook meals, and care for themselves. Many seniors with ALS require mechanical ventilation and other medical devices to survive. Comfort Keepers provides both part and full-time care that is strategic and carefully-crafted to meet the needs of a senior with ALS. Elder care services can be combined with that of a family caregiver or used to cover a respite break. Comfort Keepers also specializes in hospital to home transitioning to ensure seniors have the home care they need to remain safe once discharged from the hospital.
