Home Health Care Services

Care for who you are.

Many home care providers perform tasks that foster dependency, rather than empowering seniors to maintain full control of their own lives. Not so at Youthful Aging Home Care! Our approach truly seeks to improve the independence and functional abilities of clients through expert assessment, guidance, interaction, encouragement, communication and support.

We strive to empower seniors to do as much for themselves as possible while ensuring they attain an optimal level of wellness and safety, by integrating wellness into care planning, understanding each person’s lifestyle, and providing continuity of care through ongoing communication with physicians and other care advocates.

We enable seniors to proactively manage their medical conditions, addressing the causes and complicating factors instead of simply performing basic daily living tasks to accommodate those conditions – resulting in a partnership in care that allows seniors to retain or rediscover an active, engaged lifestyle.

Wellness Plus Program

Maximizing wellness and quality of life is key in everything we do, and is the goal in offering this optional, highly customized program. Frailty in aging is all too common, and often simply accepted as “the way things are.” Yet there are a variety of measures that can be taken to reduce frailty and improve strength and resilience, regardless of age.

Coordinated by our professional care managers, following are some of the assessments and therapeutic approaches that can be taken, according to each person’s individual circumstances:

Physical Therapy: Our physical therapist can perform an initial screening and provide the client with an in-home plan.
Memory Screening: The screening utilized is a MoCA.
Cognitive Therapy: Customized brain training games and exercises are created to stabilize cognitive functioning and slow decline.
Sleep Apnea Screening: Sleep concerns, common in seniors, can often be addressed through our screening and treatment process for sleep apnea and related issues.
Chronic Care Plan: Utilizing the client’s last exam report from the primary care physician, we establish a plan based upon each significant diagnosis to stabilize and better manage these conditions.
