We understand that the lives of seniors can be somewhat unpredictable, and dramatic changes can happen quickly and without warning. That's why the relationships with our clients and their families are designed to be flexible and easily modified to meet changing needs.
As a non-medical in-home care agency, Senior Helpers - Metro Portland North collaborates with families and other healthcare-related entities to provide professional and compassionate care to clients whose health conditions are "stable and predictable". Our caregivers provide support in helping clients follow discharge instructions following a hospital stay and/or encouraging clients to complete exercises recommended by licensed members of their care team. With Senior Helpers, our clients get just the right amount of support to be able to remain in their preferred living environment, for as long or as short as is needed.
The Senior Helpers home care agency has achieved licensure at the highest levels possible in Oregon and Washington. In each state we offer three levels of care: Companion Care; Personal Care; and Specialty Care, which includes Medication Management, Dementia Care (through the Senior Gems(r) program), Parkinson's Care (through the Balancing Act(r) program), Nursing Services (through Nurse Delegation) and End-of-Life Comfort Care (in collaboration with local hospice agencies).
Whether the need for caregiving support is the result of a gradual aging process, or stems from an unanticipated event like a fall or hospitalization, Senior Helpers caregivers focus not only on the household tasks to be performed, but on hearing the stories and experiencing the laughter that comes from learning about a person's life accomplishments. Owner, Norm Harris, says,"One of our primary goals is to help our clients remember who they were, before they needed our help."
The next step is a free, no obligation, in-home assessment with a member of the agency's leadership team. In that assessment, you will learn more about the services Senior Helpers offers and together with Senior Helpers staff, will develop a Service Plan designed to meet the specific needs of your loved one.
