We strive to exceed expectations when it comes to our care so that family members will never feel an ounce of guilt for stepping away at times. Caregivers also must focus on their personal lives and well-being to provide the necessary care for an aging loved one.

When an elderly loved one is diagnosed with an illness, often feelings of worry, uncertainty, and fear arise for the patient and family members. Chronic condition care brings a caretaker into the home of the senior to help manage some of the many undesirable symptoms and side effects of their illness. Many folks faced with a chronic disease must make frequent back and forth visits to the doctor’s office and pharmacy. In some cases, the person can’t drive and will need assistance with transportation to ensure they are arriving from point A to point B safely.

Most Common Chronic Conditions in Seniors:

• Kidney and bladder problems
• Dementia
• Cancer
• Parkinson’s disease
• Glaucoma
• Lung disease
• Osteoporosis
• Enlarged prostate
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Cardiovascular disease

At European Best Care, one of our talented staff members can come as little or as much as needed. Our services are entirely customizable based on the needs and wants of the seniors and their family members. Our kind caretakers will be on hand to help seniors cope physically and mentally with their chronic conditions. We ensure they are receiving the best pain management, never miss any medications, and be a person to speak to when they are down, want company, or need a good laugh. No matter what your loved one has been diagnosed with, we’re here to help make them much more comfortable and safe in their own home to avoid having to put them in a nursing home or another kind of long-care facility.

When it comes to properly caring for our senior citizens, being more than a caretaker who just reminds them of their medication is required. Elderly citizens need human contact just as much, if not more, then everyone else. Basic communication with another person is critical for their mental and emotional health. Giving time and attention to an older person can make all the difference in the world.

Emotional support:

Our carers are here to be a reliable companion. We understand seniors don’t just need someone who can stay by them, like a babysitter, they need and deserve so much more than that. Our staff members will come to the senior’s home to chat, laugh, discuss, and share deep thoughts and feelings with them. More often than not, an unbreakable bond is formed between the carer and the senior. We consider it a mission accomplished when our carer is just as thrilled to pay a visit to the senior, as they are to welcome them into their home.

Fun and games:

Elder care varies for each senior. Some may require around the clock care, while others will only need assistance for an hour or so a day. Elder care is created to help assist aging adults in their homes to avoid having to move to a nursing home. Nine out of ten senior citizens have reported they would prefer to stay home for as long as they possibly can. With in-home elder care, that’s now possible.

European Best elder care:

We understand the desire for a senior to stay at home. We’re here to make that goal a reality. By offering services like medication reminders, transportation, and help with daily tasks, aging adults can remain independent for longer. Our staff is primarily made up of European’s with extensive knowledge in caring for the elderly. Elder care isn’t just about helping out around the house, though, it’s also a way to create a human connection for a senior who may be experiencing feelings of isolation, loneliness, or depression. Human communication is essential for our well being. Our carers are ready to chat, play games, or take a nice walk around the neighborhood to increase the senior’s social life.

How often will we come?

Hospice care or end of life care is designed for people who are terminally ill and in the advanced stages of their illness. The primary focus of hospice care is to prioritize the patient’s comfort and quality of life. This is usually done with various medications to help reduce pain and suffering. The patient will likely be in a hospital bed but remain in the comfort of their own home.

Fully coordinated hospice care at home:

When the disease progresses, they will likely need assistance to keep them comfortable. Our team of hospice carers is ready to help your loved one feel more social while we work hard to ensure their pain is subsided.
