Improving your quality of life at home is our priority! Our competent and compassionate home health care specialists are committed to offering uncommon caring not only with their hands, but also their hearts! Our services range from homemaking, companion, home health and nursing care to bill paying and transportation services. We serve all age groups: from baby to the retired, but young at heart — and everyone in between. Our mission is to provide assistance with the activities of daily living so you can remain independent, safe, and comfortable in your own home.
At your FREE initial assessment, we will ask you what assistance you would like. We will then discuss your options and help you devise a Plan of Care. This will determine who will assist you in your home, what duties they will perform, and how often. The following may help you understand how we classify our caregivers. We are committed to partnering with your physician and other care providers to enhance the quality of your life. Your Necessities Are Our Specialties!
Homemaker/Companion Services
These caregivers provide assistance with household maintenance and domestic duties such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, meal preparation, laundry & linen changes, and escorting to appointments.
Home Health Aide or Certified Nursing Assistant
These caregivers are able to provide more personal care. They often provide assistance with activities of daily living including personal hygiene, bathing & dressing, bathroom assistance & incontinent care plus transfers from bed to chair, prescribed exercises, and supervision of self administered medication.
Check-In Service
This is an new and exclusive, low cost alternative to traditional home care! Our Check-In Service is customized to fit your specific needs. If you do not require assistance with the activities of daily living, yet your family and friends are concerned about you being on your own, this is the service for you. We arrange to phone you twice a week (or more as necessary or desired) and make one personal visit each week, just to make sure you are doing well. It brings great comfort to know someone nearby cares and will check in on a regular basis. You will come to enjoy our visits and look forward to our brief calls. And, if you ever require further assistance, you will already be familiar with the Aker Kasten Family which stands ready with additional resources. This is a highly individualized service, so call for details.
Live-In Care
Professionally skilled and personally sensitive Home Health Specialists are available for Live-In Care or 24/7 Care. Ideal for clients recovering from a surgical procedure or as a short-term respite when family is out of town, a Live-In caregiver is available to assist you and insure your safety and comfort. These caregivers can even accompany you on a short vacation to visit relatives and be an invaluable asset as you travel. For more information on this unique service, call our office at 561-955-6010.
Private Duty Nursing
These professionals provide individualized service at home or hospital, including complete patient assessment, home safety assessments, nutrition planning assistance, geriatric depression screening, medication compliance monitoring, and patient & family training.
Other Important Services Available…
Case Management
We can assist with evaluation, planning of, and arrangement for, appropriate services. This provides a very comprehensive approach to patient care. With extensive experience in geriatric issues, we educate patients and their families on care options to optimize patient outcomes. We will provide a sincere sensitivity in affirming dignity and enhancing quality of life for all.
Insurance Provider Assistance
To alleviate the burden of excessive paperwork and stress, we will work directly with long- term insurance carriers. While we are a private duty agency we assist in filing claims with your insurer. Typically, patients pay our invoices while we assist them in obtaining reimbursement from their insurance company. Some individuals prefer to file an Assignment of Benefits form authorizing their insurer to pay Aker Kasten Home Health directly. We are ready to help you access, in a trouble-free way, the benefits you have paid for!
