For over 25 years, Bear Home Care has provided quality care to seniors and their families when they need it the most. Hearing that an illness is not responding to treatment or that the end of life may be near can be extremely difficult. Many people prefer to spend their remaining days at home where they are most familiar. This can put a lot of pressure on family members. Our hospice care service provides support for family and comfort care for clients.
After a stay at the hospital or other care facility, there’s nothing like returning to the comfort of home. A discharge from the hospital can seem like a welcome end to an injury or illness. But the transition to living at home can be daunting. It’s difficult to manage appointments, medications, and the routines of daily living such as grocery shopping and housework when all you want to do is rest and recuperate. That’s why we developed our RightTransitions® program.
Bear Home Care can help seniors and adults with disabilities get home safely and prevent further hospitalizations with regular visits by our trained caregivers. We’re here to make living at home easier, so you can save your energy for recovery.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 26% of adults in the United States are living with some type of disability. And for many, a strong support system is essential. From mobility to cognition to vision and hearing issues, Bear Home Care caregivers can help adults with disabilities live safely in their homes, wherever home may be.
Just as with those of advanced age, when you have diabetes, the things so many people take for granted every day can end up being unique challenges. Meal planning revolves around making sure your diet is diabetic-friendly. Keeping fit and active is even more important. And, of course, you always have to make time for testing your blood glucose levels.
What often makes this even harder is when people are diagnosed with diabetes late in life, when their day-to-day schedule has become so engrained that it’s a nearly impossible routine to break.
Fortunately, from education to training to maintenance, Bear Home Care caregivers can be a powerful ally helping you or your loved ones keep on top of diabetes management.
