You can find a home care provider for your aging loved ones by contacting Home Care Agencies in your area.

In Home Care is also known as domiciliary care. The term Home Care is used to describe a non-medical service provided by a caregiver in the comfort of a senior’s home. Typically caregivers who provide in-home care are trained to help seniors with activities of daily living, which refers to basic tasks of independent living such as eating, bathing, toileting, dressing, and day-to-day house chores. Additional services such as grocery shopping, transportation services, recreational activities may also be provided by caregivers.
Once you find the right caregiver or in-home care provider, it is important that you monitor him or her closely during the first few days. Should any issues or concerns arise, it is important to talk to the caregiver as soon as you can in order to resolve the issue. However, if you are unable to solve the problem, you might need to find a new caregiver or in-home care provider. If you hired the caregiver through an In-Home Care Agency, it would definitely be helpful to call the agency to resolve the issue.
