Excell Private Care Services

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Independent Living and Assisted Living Facilities? While both provide independence and a sense of community that we all crave, the biggest difference is the level of care that is provided.

Independent living is focused on maintaining your independence in a community that has been designed especially for seniors. There are typically no professional personal care services provided.

Assisted living provides much more structured support from caregivers and nurses on staff that can help with daily tasks, medications and meals, all while still promoting a degree of independence.

If you or a loved one are exploring Independent Living but interested in Private Care Services, reach out to us today to discover how we can assist you!

Affordability of home care vs. specialized care

Navigating healthcare options can be overwhelming, especially when considering affordability. Here's a closer look at the cost-effective advantages of home care versus specialized care facilities:

1. Cost Savings: Home care often proves more affordable than specialized care facilities, as it eliminates expenses like room and board fees associated with institutional settings.
2. Personalized Services: With home care, you receive personalized, one-on-one attention tailored to your specific needs, optimizing the value of every dollar spent on care.
3. Familiar Environment: Staying at home reduces stress and discomfort associated with transitioning to a new environment, contributing to overall well-being and quality of life.
4. Flexibility: Home care offers flexibility in scheduling and services, allowing you to adjust care plans as needed without the constraints of institutional routines.
5. Family Involvement: In-home care encourages family involvement and support, fostering a strong sense of connection and collaboration in the caregiving journey.

By choosing home care, you're not only prioritizing affordability but also enhancing the quality and comfort of care for yourself or your loved one. Let's make informed decisions that promote well-being and financial stability!

Keep your independence with in-home care.

Choosing in-home care is a thoughtful step towards empowering yourself or your loved one to live life to the fullest while receiving the necessary support and assistance. It's about creating a customized plan that respects your unique needs, preferences, and goals, allowing you to maintain your independence and dignity.

By embracing in-home care, you're not giving up control; you're gaining a team of compassionate professionals dedicated to your well-being. They work alongside you, providing guidance, encouragement, and companionship, all while respecting your autonomy and personal choices.

The comfort and familiarity of home become the backdrop for your journey towards wellness, allowing you to stay connected to your community, cherished memories, and the things that bring you joy. With in-home care, you can age gracefully, live independently, and savor each moment on your terms.

Let's celebrate the empowerment that comes with in-home care and the freedom to embrace life's adventures with confidence and dignity!

Your home should be a sanctuary of safety and comfort, especially as we age. Falls can be a significant concern, but with the right precautions, we can greatly reduce the risk and promote well-being. Here are comprehensive tips to prevent falls at home:

1. Keep your home clutter-free and well-lit to avoid tripping hazards.
2. Install grab bars in bathrooms and non-slip mats in showers to prevent slips.

4. Review your medications with your healthcare provider to reduce dizziness or side effects.
5. Have your vision checked regularly to catch any issues that could affect your balance.

Let's work together to create a safer environment and reduce the risk of falls!

Home care can be beneficial to anyone who needs daily help, support, and guidance in their own homes. However, it can be life changing for those who experience mental health challenges that prevent them from leaving the house or performing routine tasks. By assisting with things like housekeeping, cooking, personal hygiene, grocery shopping and running errands, our staff can provide support and even monitor a client’s moods and activities. This can be instrumental in helping the client to remain calm and happy and working toward recovering from or learning to live with their mental illness. We offer hourly assistance as well as round-the-clock care. Let us help you find your new normal.
