Home Health Aide Services in Pompano Beach
The physical work of the day done properly, by somebody your parent recognises — and a plan for the mornings that person is not available.
The agency problem is not the first visit
Most families are happy after week one. The trouble arrives in week six, when the aide they have got used to has a holiday booked, and a stranger arrives at eight in the morning with no idea that the left shoulder does not lift or that breakfast is at nine, not eight.
We treat that as a thing to arrange rather than a thing to apologise for. A second aide is attached to the plan from the start, meets the household early where that is possible, and reads the same written notes. You hear the name before the morning, not at the door.
Aide hours are the backbone of most plans here; the other services on this site are usually written into the same visit rather than booked separately.
What an aide is here to do
Hands-on work, within the scope of a non-medical aide.
Washing and dressing
The shower or a seated wash, clothes chosen and put on in a workable order, teeth and hair.
Getting about safely
Bed to chair, chair to bathroom, correct use of a frame or cane, and a steady arm on the stairs.
Food and drink
Cooked in the house, eaten while somebody is there, and a note of how much actually went down.
The room around them
Dishes, laundry, a clear floor — the upkeep that stops a safe house turning into an unsafe one.
Written up each visit
What was done, how it went and anything that looked different from last week.
Families usually start here when
- Mornings have become the hardest hour of the day
- A discharge letter lists help that nobody at home can give
- One of the children has been driving over daily for weeks
- A near miss in the bathroom finally got mentioned
- The arrangement that worked last year has stopped working
