Senior Home Care in Brodheadsville (570) 223-2248

Most seniors want to age in the comfort of their own homes, and senior home care in Brodheadsville helps make that possible. Choosing a home care provider is an important decision, and BrightStar Care can help you work through that decision process. Our home care agency offers numerous solutions for your comfort and safety, and we’ll begin with an in-home assessment to help us determine your needs and preferences. Home Care in BrodheadsvilleWhen choosing home care services in Brodheadsville for yourself or an elderly loved one, the range of care options can be confusing and overwhelming. It helps to understand the type of care services that are available. BrightStar Care in Brodheadsville offers:
  • Companion care for assistance with light housekeeping and meal preparations, help with personal hygiene tasks, transportation services and fellowship
  • Skilled nursing care for vital signs, blood draws, injections, wound care, home infusions, catheter maintenance, post-op care and medication management
  • Alzheimer’s care for help with activities of daily living and home safety once memory skills fade and confusion and disorientation become apparent
To help us determine the services best suited to your needs, BrightStar Care performs an in-home assessment and then tailors a plan of care just for you and your family. A registered nurse (RN) will look at your ability to perform activities of daily living (such as bathing, dressing and using the toilet safely), and ability to do light housework, prepare meals and drive safely. The RN will also assess hearing and vision, balance and strength, and health conditions. For example, does arthritis make it difficult to move about the house safely? Does dementia or Alzheimer’s cause wandering behavior? Do you have an illness that requires a special diet? For seniors who would appreciate home support assistance, our elder care options include companion care services to help ensure the home is in good order and nutritional needs are met. There is much to consider when choosing senior care in Brodheadsville. BrightStar Care offers comprehensive care services to fulfill every need, and we respect the dignity and privacy of everyone in our care.
