For All of Your Home Care Options in Woodstock GA 770-704-0272

Most adults would like to remain in the comforts of their homes as they age. Even if they experience some health challenges along the way, they want to stay put, surrounded by familiar items, pets and the people they love. At BrightStar Care in Woodstock, we want to help you meet that goal. As you begin to contemplate engaging in-home care for yourself or an aging loved one¸ our many senior home care options are the best place to start. BrightStar Care offers different levels of care and services, and our home care providers begin by assessing your needs and preferences. For individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living, personal care services are the best choice. Personal care assistants specialize in helping individuals stay as independent as possible, providing care and support as needed while stepping back at other times. Personal senior care services include assistance with:
  • Bathing
  • Personal hygiene and grooming
  • Toileting
  • Skin care – especially for those who must stay in a bed or wheelchair
  • Dressing
  • Hair care
  • Eating and nutritional guidance
Your safety is our number one priority. A home caregiver also monitors safety concerns such as common household hazards that might cause a fall or injury. This includes items such as:
  • Slippery bathroom surfaces or getting in and out of the tub
  • Bunched area rugs or runners
  • Electrical cords or extension cords that might cause a trip
  • Electrical appliances that are left turned on
  • Poor lighting
  • Uneven steps or stairs
When everyday tasks become difficult to accomplish, whether due to immobility (such as from a stroke), weakness and tremors (as experienced with Parkinson’s disease) or forgetfulness (from dementia, for example), personal care is your most beneficial choice for in-home care. No matter the circumstances, home health care from BrightStar Care in Woodstock can make a significant difference in the lives of you or your loved ones.
