With us, there’s no need to worry that you’ll be left out in the cold. We treat everyone involved — the patient, family members, and friends — with the same level of care we would want for our own loved ones.

Welcome to the Family!

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to home care, because different situations and different patients have different needs. There is, however, an ideal way to ensure all of those needs are met and your loved ones are involved. Its called Family Care Options.

Family Best Care provides both long and short term care options. Whether you just need a little extra care for a few weeks after an operation or long term personal care for an ailing family member, we’re here to help. We start with a free consultation, providing expert guidance to help our clients determine the right course of care. And when it’s time to put that plan into action, we treat everyone involved — the patient, family members, and friends — with the same level of care we would want for our own loved ones. We provide the services you want and need to thrive – basic housekeeping, medication reminders, laundry service, companionship, and a host of other options.

At Family Best Care, we strive to do more than simply provide quality home care. We work to keep you comfortable and happy day to day. We offer compassion. We preserve dignity. We build trust. We care for you like family.

Deciding when to talk to a professional about in-home care for an elderly or ailing loved one can be difficult. While some people like to discuss options well before any assistance is needed, most individuals wait until the need for help is clear. If your loved one displays any of the following traits, it’s time to pick up the phone and talk to an in-home care specialist.

1. Your loved one has unexplained injuries or falls frequently.
2. Health issues are becoming increasingly problematic.
3. Your family member has a major shift in personality. This can indicate underlying mental health issues.
4. Their home is extremely messy. This may mean they are having difficulty completing basic daily tasks.
5. Your loved one is making increased demands on your time and you know you will not be able to fully support their needs.

While the decision to bring in a home care specialist can be difficult and stressful, the assistance they provide is often a godsend for family members that are struggling to maintain the level of care needed by their loved one. If you recognize any of the signs mentioned above, please reach out for help. Family Best Care is here to provide care and support.

As our loved ones age, they may face frailty, memory loss or chronic diseases and lose their independence over time. Everyday tasks such as cooking, running errands or bathing can become increasingly difficult. Home care services can help an older adult maintain his or her safety and well-being, while simultaneously preserving his or her independence.

Here are some signs that your loved one may be ready for home care.
1. Increasing Forgetfulness. You might notice that dad is always searching for his car keys or mom has trouble remembering appointments. Though it is natural for older adults to become more forgetful, forgetfulness could also be an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
2. Messy Home. You might notice that the garbage is not being taken out, dishes are left undone or laundry is piling up. A messy home may indicate that activities of daily living such as cooking and cleaning have become too difficult for your loved one to manage.
3. Poor Hygiene. You might notice that mom is no longer taking care of herself or dad hasn’t brushed his teeth in a few days. Poor hygiene could be the result of mild cognitive impairment or other conditions, including challenges with mobility or coordination.
4. Falls or Injuries. You might notice bruising and other discoloration even though your loved one won’t admit to falling. Frequent falls could be a sign that your loved one has diminished motor skills, has difficulty walking or balancing, or suffers from vertigo or nausea. A caregiver could provide mobility support and help monitor other symptoms to reduce fall risk.
5. Social Isolation. You might notice that your parents no longer make any trips out of the house, keep up with friends or go for walks around the neighborhood. Social isolation can have many causes, but it could be a sign that your parents are having difficulty managing their declining conditions and are afraid to ask for help.
6. Health Issues. If a loved one took a long time to recover from his or her most recent illness or currently has a progressive or chronic health condition, home care could help by monitoring conditions.

Of course, you’re the best judge of when your family member may need additional assistance. Trust your gut instinct and reach out for help as soon as you recognize the need.
