There comes a time in many of our lives when we need a little help. As we age, our bodies are no longer capable of meeting day-to-day functions with the same ease as they used to. Some of us will encounter accidents or health conditions that make mobility challenging.

When you have a relative who needs extra assistance, you have a few options to choose from. One option is to use a residential facility, but many people prefer to remain in their own homes. Remaining at home is an understandable desire because it means remaining in a setting that's familiar and comforting.

If you would love to help your relative remain in their own home, but you don't have time to assist them yourself, we can help. At Miami Valley Homecare, we offer home care in Dayton, Ohio. Our approach to delivering home care helps to promote independence. If you've never used this type of service before, we're here to provide some reassurance on how it works.

What is home care and how are we different?

Home care involves providing assistance to elderly people in their home. There's no one-size fits all package, as everyone has varying needs. For example, while some people may find it easy to navigate their stairs but require assistance with bathing, others may be okay with bathing, but might need assistance with the stairs.

At Miami Valley Homecare, we started our business after a loved one needed significant care following a stroke. We believe in taking a personalized approach rather than focusing on numbers. We're not part of a franchise, so we don't have targets to meet. Instead, we provide home care that is person-focused and designed to deliver the most comfort and empathy we can achieve.

Is home care always a long-term solution?

Home care doesn't need to be a long-term solution, although many of those who choose us want long-term assistance. You can use home care for situations where your relative may be temporarily unable to meet their own care needs. For example, if they've recently had surgery or they're battling with a relapse in their existing medical state, we can help them. Or, if you can't provide assistance yourself for a brief period of time, we can help there too.

When long-term assistance is required, we make sure to build a trust-based therapeutic relationship with your relative. We know that having someone in their home to provide them with care is a big step. We're passionate about making sure they feel comfortable at all times, as we know that this results in the best wellbeing outcomes.

How do I know what type of care my relative needs?

You may already have some ideas about the type of care your relative needs. But at the same time, you'll want to make sure you get it right. We provide thorough assessments that identify what your relative needs. We'll always take their wishes into account too.

Securing home care in Dayton, Ohio, doesn't need to be difficult. With our thorough assessments and ongoing commitment to exceeding our clients' expectations, we believe we're the solution your family has been looking for. To discuss your care requirements with us, call (937)-671-2273.
