Home Care Advantage, LLC offers a wide range of non-medical home care services for seniors in Danbury, CT, and the surrounding areas. Understanding the different types of home care services available can help you determine the best solution for your loved one’s needs.
Here are six types of home care services available for seniors:
Physician Home Visits (Medical Care at Home)
A doctor may visit a patient at home to diagnose and treat an illness. They may also assess the need for home health care periodically.
Professional Nursing Care (Medical Care at Home)
Nursing care is the most common type of medical home health care. A registered nurse will create a care plan after consulting with the doctor. Nursing care may involve pain management, wound dressing, ostomy care, intravenous therapy, medication administration, monitoring the patient’s overall health, and other forms of medical assistance.
Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy (Medical Care at Home)
After an illness or disability, some individuals may require assistance in relearning daily tasks, such as walking, speaking, or swallowing. Physical therapists can develop a care plan to help a patient regain or improve the use of their muscles and joints. Occupational therapists can help a patient regain the ability to perform daily activities like eating, dressing, and bathing. Speech therapists can help someone with impaired speech regain their ability to speak clearly.
Medical Social Workers (Medical Care at Home)
Medical social workers provide counseling and help patients find local resources to aid in their recovery. Some social workers also serve as the patient’s case manager, coordinating numerous services to ensure the patient receives comprehensive care.
Non-Medical Personal Care
Home health aides or caregivers can assist the patient with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around. Some caregivers receive specialized training to help with more specific care, such as dementia care, memory loss, or mobility issues.
Non-Medical Companion Care
Caregivers or care professionals can help with tasks or chores and keep the house running smoothly by doing laundry, preparing meals, going grocery shopping, and performing other housekeeping activities. They can also provide companionship and be a friendly face for seniors who may feel isolated or lonely.

With over 25 years of healthcare experience working with seniors, our model and approach to non-medical home care services are straightforward, providing you with the compassionate care you deserve. Providing care from the heart is what we are all about; we proactively work with you and your family to develop a care plan designed to meet your specific need for assistance and budget.
In addition to having an extensive work background in healthcare, my recent educational experience allowed me to earn my Doctorate Degree in public healthcare. This achievement enhanced my knowledge of the ever-evolving healthcare delivery system and heightened my awareness that you cannot go it alone to get the best outcome. Additionally, I have seen how some of my family members struggled and were overwhelmed with ensuring that their parents were safe and their needs were met. They did not know who to trust or where to turn for reliable and affordable help. I have made it our mission to be part of the solution allowing seniors to remain independent and be treated with the respect they deserve.
We are committed to providing excellent care for our clients, just as we would care for members of our own families. Please be assured that I will use my knowledge and background to protect and be a trusted resource for seniors and their families.
You can be confident that our caregivers are carefully screened, dependable, and selectively chosen to meet the specific needs of our clients. They are experienced and highly trained to provide excellent quality care and follow a strict professional code of conduct and ethics.
Our caregivers are competitively paid directly by our agency; there is no additional charge to you. Home Care Advantage files Social Security/Medicare, Federal and State Withholding Tax, and Unemployment Insurance for our employees. Workers’ compensation insurance and a fidelity bond cover the caregivers and supervisory staff.
Our caregivers are here for you and will work hard to assist you with your specific needs in the comfort of your own home. It is said that “Home is where the heart is.” Let Home Care Advantage provide care that will enrich your life and help you maintain an independent lifestyle in the comfort of your own home, “where you want to be.” Call us now! We look forward to working with you and your family.
