  • We conduct personal and professional reference and background checks on every employee.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”What is the difference between “Home Health” and “Home Care”?” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ title=”What is the difference between “Home Health” and “Home Care”?” open=”off”]

“Home Health” typically refers to medical services, nursing care or therapy services provided in one’s home.

“Home Care” describes non-medical care such as companionship, housekeeping and other personal care services to enable people to live safely and independently in their home.

Golden Heart Senior Care provides Home Care services to our clients. However, we coordinate with other providers of care, like Home Health agencies, to help you get the medical and non-medical care you need.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”What are ADLs and IADLs?” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ title=”What are ADLs and IADLs?” open=”off”]

Sometimes, people need help with basic activities to live safely and independently in their homes. These basic activities are called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). ALDs include the activities such as grooming, eating, bathing, dressing, mobility and toileting.

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are considered those activities which are more complex than the basic ADLs. IADLs include activities such as paying bills, housekeeping, shopping, laundry and meal preparation.

At Golden Heart Senior Care, we provide a comprehensive set of ADL and IADL services designed around your needs. Our sole focus is to help you live comfortably, safely and independently in your home or setting of your choice.
