Personal Care and Support Services for Yourself or Your Loved Ones

Let Us Help You!
The vast majority of today’s healthcare consumers and especially seniors want to stay in their home as they age, but sometimes independence needs a helping hand. That’s where in-home personal care and support services come in.

Happier and More Confident at Home

It makes perfect sense that you or your aging loved ones, most likely your parents, would
rather remain in familiar surroundings than move to assisted living-or a skilled nursing
facility Home is where the heart thrives - and family connects!

We're-here for this familiar story and countless others...

Mom knows where everything is. Her favorite chair is, just right. Friends and family are
nearby. But worry sets in - about her safety about whether she's eating right (or at all), or
about whether she's taking her medications on-time. Mom’s not getting around as well as
she used to either.

Nothing says love like giving Mom the boost she-needs to be independent, to age-on her
terms and be-safe and healthy.

This is where Interim HealthCare of Fort Lauderdale South can help.

Interim HealthCare’s personal care and support services fill the gaps in whatever way each family needs. We provide care services throughout the Fort Lauderdale South. Our paraprofessionals and clinicians are local, too – trained, skilled, competent, and personable. Who knows, it could be someone you have a connection with – a friend or neighbor.

So what’s the difference between personal care and support services?

Personal care typically addresses activities of daily living, or ADLs, that are essential for independent living. This includes:

  • Personal Care and Support Services for Yourself or Your Loved Ones
  • Dressing
  • Eating
  • Toileting and continence
  • Transferring and mobility ( Standing,sitting, getting in and out of bed or the car )

Support services take care further, providing assistance with tasks such as:

  • Light Housework
  • Laundry
  • Shopping
  • Transportation to the doctor's
  • Meal Planning and Preparation
  • Writing letters or making appointments
  • Reminding mom when to take her medicines

Dad has a pet? Even more reason Dad wants to remain at home. Our caregiving team members can help with pet care. We also provide human companionship and conversation, so your loved one won't feel isolated or lonely if you aren't there with them.

Our HomeLife Enrichment® standard of care considers the whole person – mind, body, spirit, and family – and we use those four pillars as the foundation for every senior's personal care plan. This comprehensive approach to senior care is what makes Interim HealthCare unique.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, a progressive medical condition that erodes memory, thinking, and problem-solving abilities and can dramatically alter behavior in later stages.

Interim HealthCare of Fort Lauderdale South offers advanced, customized care for Alzheimer's and Dementia patients that blends personal care and support services with activities such as music therapy to help create a safe, calming environment.

Help for Family Caregivers

Spouses and adult children are usually the first to step in and help their loved one with certain tasks. You do it from the heart, but it can wear you down. In-home care provides priceless respite for caregivers – for a couple of hours, for a day, or long enough for you and your own family to take some time away. Whether you need time to get your chores done, or simply some much-needed rest to recharge your inner strength, we’re here to help with respite care.

In-home personal care can provide long-term respite, too, by regularly taking over the care and light household tasks so you can devote yourself to spending quality time with your parents.
