In-Home Care Gives Seniors the Assistance They Need To Live A Better Quality Life

December 4, 2018
With age comes a new set of challenges, and maintaining independence while living the highest quality of life can be tricky. Daily activities that were once completed without any thought may start to become a chore. At BrightStar Care of South Bucks and Southeast Montgomery Counties, our mission is to provide services for seniors who need assistance, or who are no longer able to easily complete daily tasks, so that they can live a more comfortable lifestyle.
 
Activities of Daily Living
Family members usually go out of their way for elderly relatives because they feel it is their responsibility; however, helping with daily, simple tasks can often require more time, attention and skill than a family member has available. At BrightStar Care, we provide companion, personal, and skilled nursing care to ensure these aspects of life are looked after. Our experienced and insured caregivers bring an empathetic approach to providing assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) including:
 
  • Ambulation, positioning and transfers,
  • meal preparation,
  • bathing, toileting,
  • dressing and grooming,
  • medication reminders,
  • laundry and light housekeeping, as well as other related tasks. 
 
Our caregivers also provide companionship and understand the importance of the role they play in the lives of their clients and their families.
 
Helping Families Enjoy Family Time
At BrightStar Care, one of the most satisfying benefits we provide is allowing adult children and other family members enjoy family time again.  Our clients regularly tell us that we have allowed them to enjoy more quality time with their parents or loved one, without the stress of also having to attend to all their loved one’s care needs directly. They also tell us that they are much less worried and stressed knowing that their loved one is well cared for when they cannot be there.  In fact, some even say that our caregivers feel like part of their family.
 
Registered Nurse Oversight
Unlike many other home care agencies, the BrightStar Care team includes a Registered Nurse (RN) Director of Nursing who oversees the personalized plan of care for each client.  RN oversight, along with our Joint Commission accreditation, allows BrightStar Care to provide a Higher Standard of Care.
 
Recognizing The Dignity of Each Individual
BrightStar Care recognizes that each person is unique and has individual care needs.  Whether your loved one is recovering from a hospital stay and needs temporary support during the recovery period or is dealing with the impact of dementia, we assess each individual and design a plan of care unique to the needs of our loved one.  We regularly re-assess and adjust the plan of care to address changes needs.  And we look to understand the special likes and activities that your love one enjoys so that we can include support for these in the plan of care.
