Waiting List for Assisted Living

Do you know of a senior who can't move into the assisted living facility because they can't sell their house in these tough economic times? It can turn into an unsafe situation rather quickly but in home care can help. Home care agencies can come into their home for several hours a day or more if needed. The caregivers can do all of the tasks that the senior will get when they move into the assisted living facility.
Apple Care and Companion can come in and work on whatever schedule the senior needs until they can sell their house and move into the facility. Our caregivers will help with meal prep and cleanup, bathing and dressing, companionship, transportation, light housekeeping and more. Our caregivers can also help ease the transition of moving from their 30 year old home into the assisted living facility, which can be quite traumatic!
Don't wait to sell the house to get eldercare assistance...call us today!
