Home Care Services
a week to full-time care. Each situation is personal, and Americas Home Direct Care can help
you determine what level of care your parent or loved one needs. Services can also be increased or decreased as those needs change. You can take a quick, convenient online Independent Living Assessment by reading our list of 20 Reasons you may need assistance. It is always best to evaluate your needs.
Part-Time Home Care Services
Some seniors benefit from daily or weekly visits from care professionals who can provide a wide variety of companionship or housekeeping services, as well as help with errands and food preparation.
24-Hour Home Care Services
Some seniors need around-the-clock help. Depending on the need, Americas Home Direct Care can coordinate caregiving with shifts of Caregivers who can provide specific services. In many instances, this type of continuous in-home care service is provided for clients who are at risk when unattended, such as those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-related conditions.
Respite Care and Relief
Respite care provides breaks from the daily routine of caregiving. Maybe you’re providing the bulk of the assistance your parent or loved one needs, and simply need a break or are planning a vacation that will require someone else to help out while you’re gone. respite care can relieve stress, restore energy and promote the necessary balance in your life when you can’t be there.
At Americas Home we focus not only on the physical needs of our clients, but on their emotional needs as well. We provide companionship and care that promotes an enriched life — one that is full of quality experiences and meaningful relationships. We treat each of our clients the way we would want our own
parents to be treated — with dignity and respect.
So, once you’ve decided your parent or loved one could benefit from home care,
you’re faced with a whole new set of questions. Where do I find a professional
caregiver? And how are we going to pay for it?
Americas Home Direct Care will work with you and your budget to get the care you need. We specialize in Veterans and their families, Alzheimer's care, dementia, Post operative care as well as New Baby home assistance. We are here to help...
"How may I help you?" Is the theme of our team.
God bless,

20 Reasons you or your loved one may need Home Care Services
Americas Home Direct Care. 20 reasons Home Care may be needed.
- Recent hospitalization or injury
- Complicated medical issues or medications
- Missing appointments
- Dirty house or clutter piling up (including laundry)
- Spoiled food in fridge or expired food in cabinets
- Stacks of unopened mail or overflowing mailbox
- Late payment notices or mishaps with banking accounts
- Decreased participation in activities outside the home
- Loss of interest in normal activities or hobbies
- Comments of sadness or loneliness
- unexplained bruising or potential fall hazards in the home
- Difficulty walking or balancing
- Infrequent bathing, showering or grooming
- Poor diet or decreased weight
- unexplained dents or scratches on vehicle, or a recent accident
- Changes in mood or extreme mood swings
- Forgetfulness, confusion or memory loss
- overweight or underweight pets
- Decreased ability to keep up with chores, shopping and errands
- Forgetting to take medication, or taking more than prescribed
If you recognize some of these symptoms in your parent or loved one, it’s
important that you talk about the situation — sooner rather than later. If you wait
until it has reached a crisis point, it’s harder to make an informed, well-balanced
decision about the appropriate level of care needed.
the truth is, over three-quarters of adults living on their own and in need of
some form of long-term care depend on family and friends as their only source
of help. Fortunately, you don’t have to be the only source of support for your
loved one. but is in-home care appropriate for your parent?
