Home Care in Phoenix

What is non-medical senior home care? How does Home Instead Senior Care provide it?

At Home Instead Senior Care, we know that caring for a senior isn’t always easy.

All across the country, people juggle the demands of their busy lives.  Jobs, children, and dozens of other activities all compete for time.  And then mom or dad gets sick or otherwise needs in-home help.

These seniors’ adult children – the ones who typically end up as their caregivers – are referred to as the “sandwich generation,” caught between providing for their own young families and assisting their aging parents.  They’re already stretched to the limit, and the strain shows no sign of easing.  That’s largely because of numbers; by the year 2030, 70 million Americans – 20 percent of the population – will be over the age of 65.

In anticipation of this tremendous need, back in 1994 Lori and Paul Hogan co-founded Home Instead Senior Care in Omaha, NE.  Now, just over a decade later, the company finds itself the unquestioned leader in the international non-medical senior care industry, with more than 700 independently owned and operated offices throughout the world.  Here are some global statistics:

· More than 37,000 CAREGivers;
· Hundreds of thousands of clients served; and,
· 20 million hours of service delivered annually.

The non-medical services we provide are grouped into two basic categories:

· Companionship – These include companionship and conversation; meal preparation; medication reminders (but not administration); plant care; playing games and watching videos; and doing crafts and activities; and,

· Home Helper – For instance, light housekeeping; helping with laundry and ironing; taking out garbage; assisting with pet care; escorting to appointments and events; and even Alzheimer’s care.

These services are provided by trained, committed professionals called CAREGivers – who, for the most part, will not have to be licensed by the states in which they work.

And, what’s more, these non-medical services are provided wherever seniors call home – be it a private residence, senior apartment community or assisted living facility (ALF).
