Many of Miami’s senior citizens and elderly residents originally arrived here as “snowbirds,” persons who had homes in the north but came south to avoid winter. Eventually, many residents of a particular age decide to stay in Florida. That can present a problem when they need help but family is too far away. If your elderly parents in Miami need assistance with daily living, or just someone to visit regularly and check up on them, there are elderly companions in Miami, FL.
What These Elderly Companions Do
Some elderly companions are nurses. They can provide nursing care if your parents require hospice care or personal cares to stay healthy. This might include bathing, toileting, dressing, feeding, cooking, and/or cleaning.
Other elderly companions in Miami, FL provide scheduled visits to ensure that nothing is wrong and that your parents don’t become lonely, depressed, or isolated. These companions look after the mental and emotional well-being of clients and are the first ones at the scene to call for help if something has happened (e.g., a fall down the stairs or slipping in the shower).
The Cost May Be Covered by Medicare
Most of the agencies are private pay or insurance, although some might take payments from Medicare. Before you hire a companion for your parents in Miami, check to see what types of insurance and payments an agency takes. Better yet, just contact ALC Home Health via https://www.alchomehealth.net and ask them about the types of aides they have and the pricing structure.
