Assisted Living Placements
Assisted living placements, also called senior living referrals, allow families to find the best senior living community for them. Seniors in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania have many options for their care. This is great, but it comes with one drawback: it’s difficult to parse all the differences between these communities and find the best one for you.
Always Best Care of Fox Chapel offers senior living referrals. We can visit you in your Pittsburgh-area home and explain all your options. You can tell us about your needs, wants, and your health history. We can even take you on tours of the facilities that interest you. These services are free for you.
Temporary Care
Many people think of senior care as a one-way street. But just because somebody needs or can benefit from care now doesn’t mean they’ll always need that care. There are situations where people only need temporary care. You might only need temporary care if:
You’re Recovering From Surgery
Recovering from surgery can be painful, and it can take some time. Many people injure themselves by trying to do too much after surgery, thus extending their recovery time. Always Best Care can provide caregivers to visit you in your home and help you take care of yourself while you recover from surgery.
You’re Recovering From A Hospitalization
Whether you were hospitalized because of a fall, a vehicular collision, or from an illness such as Covid-19, being released from the hospital is rarely the end of your recovery. Often, that’s near the beginning of the recovery journey. It can be very beneficial to have a caregiver visit you to help you look after yourself until you feel 100% again.
Your Regular Caregiver Is Busy
Many people care for friends and family themselves. These family caregivers do great work, but it’s not realistic to expect yourself to always provide the care your loved one needs. What if you have a vacation planned? What if you’re going on a work trip? What if you need to prepare for an exam or a presentation? Or what if you yourself are unwell? Always Best Care can provide a respite caregiver to step in and care for your loved one for as long as you’re unable to do so yourself.
