These are not just statistics; they represent millions of families with loved ones who require special senior care, both at home and in assisted living facilities. You are not alone. Since 1996, families like yours have trusted First Time Home Care Agency to provide one-on-one Alzheimer's care and Dementia care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

 CAREGIVERS ASSIST

• Maintain a safe environment
• Manage changing behaviors
• Provide nutritious meals
• Provide mind-stimulating activities
• Create social interaction
• Supervise daily activities

Care Givers can also provide assistance with enhancing and restoring the simple pleasures of life, such as a walk in the park, a ride in the car  or spending time in the garden. These elder care activities are proven to maximize abilities and independence

How live-in care works

A live-in caregiver stays in the home 24 hours a day, and is available to assist morning, noon  and night.

 If we provide live-in care for 7 days a week, we assign a primary caregiver and a back-up caregiver to the job. The primary caregiver provides care for 5-6 days a week, and the back-up caregiver takes over for the remainder of the week.

All live-in caregivers must maintain a separate, permanent residence. They are permitted to reside on the client's premises only during their assigned days and nights, and they must leave the client's premises with their belongings on their days off. They are strictly forbidden from using the client's property, such as phone, car, for their own, personal use. Live-in caregivers must also respect the company policy on visitors: none are allowed while providing live-in care

How hourly care works

Not all older adults require live-in care. Many use our caregivers on an hourly basis, for example, just during the night, or just on the weekends, or just for transportation to doctor appointments. First Time Home Care  is totally flexible, and is happy to provide care whenever and wherever needed. Contact us
