  • (1888PressRelease) April 02, 2011 - Home Care Assistance, a leading provider of non-medical, in-home care for seniors, is proud to announce the opening of an Ottawa office to serve Canada's National Capital Region. Conveniently located at 517 Rideau Street, the office lies in close proximity to Ottawa's Parliament buildings at the centre of the city. Residents of Ottawa-Gatineau now have the opportunity to live in the comfort of their own home safely and securely with bonded and insured caregivers who can help assist with their daily activities, medication reminders, cooking and light house cleaning.

    "We are very excited to open our doors and start serving the Ottawa-Gatineau community," said Daisy Avila, President of Home Care Assistance of Ottawa. "For seniors, in-home care is the ideal alternative to nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Our services allow individuals to remain independent and safe in their own home."

    89% of seniors say they would prefer to keep living at home than to move to a facility. Yet every year, thousands continue to enter nursing homes-never knowing they had the option to remain in their own homes, with assistance from a home caregiver. Home Care Assistance expertly matches caregivers with clients to ensure your elderly parent or loved one feels safe and comfortable in their own home. Services Home Care Assistance provides include:

    Hourly and live-in care

    Cooking and light housekeeping

    Laundry and change of bed linens

    Grocery shopping and errands

    Companionship and range of motion exercise

    Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance

    Transportation to doctor appointments, supermarket, pharmacy

    Assisting with walking and transfer from bed to wheelchair

    Status reporting to family

    Medication reminders

    The Balanced Care Method™ is what sets Home Care Assistance apart from other agencies. All Home Care Assistance caregivers are trained in The Balanced Care Method™, an evidence-based training program that emphasizes mental stimulation and other lifestyle factors that contribute to senior wellness.
     
    Balanced Care Method Certified Caregivers are trained in:
    Healthy Diet
    Physical Activity
    Sharp Minds
    Social Ties
    Calmness and Purpose

    By working with these specific lifestyle behaviours, Home Care Assistance caregivers extend and enhance the lives of seniors, helping them live longer, happier, more balanced lives.

    With Canada's aging population and the baby boomers retiring in droves, the need for senior care will continue to increase: "We are dedicated to ensuring seniors have a choice when they reach a point in their lives where they will need assistance with daily living." said Avila.
