I’ve had 6 right knee surgeries so far and I’ve been impressed with my physical therapist’s tenacity, empathy, skill, knowledge, helpfulness, dependability and willingness to research any problem relating to PT I encountered. Her personality was caring and positive and she was extremely resourceful.

What is Home Care?

Home care is a service that meets non-medical needs for aging, ill and disabled individuals in the comfort of home. This type of service may be provided short term during a period of recovery or long term to support goals such as aging in place in San Fernando Valley.

Salus Homecare of San Fernando Valley’s professional caregivers provide assistance to many individuals with essential personal care and hygiene needs called activities of daily living.

ADLs support health and hygiene, but they must be supplemented with IADLs. Many individuals lose the ability to complete IADLs effectively first due to the more complex nature of these tasks and the mental aptitude that is necessary in order to manage them.

In many cases, aging, disabled and ill individuals turn to family members to assist with ADLs and IADLs. While loving children and spouses are often quite supportive, they benefit from a break or assistance with managing all of the tasks involved in being a family caregiver. Salus Homecare of San Fernando Valley provides support in the form of respite care.

Home Care in San Fernando Valley FAQs

If you don’t see your question, please give us a call: (888) 725-8742

Yes. In some cases it is appropriate for a client to receive multiple types of care at home. This might be the case when an individual returns home from the hospital and needs assistance managing an IV or caring for a wound but is also unable to grocery shop, cook, bathe or get dressed independently. Your specific situation will be evaluated during the in home assessment process, and we can make service recommendations that will benefit you most.

Respite care is beneficial for all family caregivers in San Fernando Valley, regardless of their work status. It provides them with time to step away, get to their own medical or personal appointments, spend time with friends or simply relax. If your routine is different than your daughter’s, we can even provide respite care to meet your needs overnight or in the early morning while she sleeps.

Salus Homecare of San Fernando Valley provides individualized care to each client, but we sometimes assign more than one caregiver to assist them. This might happen because of your scheduling preferences, or a backup caregiver might step in to assist when your primary caregiver is not available.

No. Salus Homecare of San Fernando Valley’s professional caregivers are knowledgeable in providing non-medical care. Since they are not nurses, it could be unsafe for them to administer medications. They are happy to assist with medication reminders, or we can arrange for you to receive home health services if that is your preference.

No. In most cases, our clients find that participating in home care does the exact opposite and makes it easier for them to maintain their independence. We will always involve you in the process of creating or modifying your care plan, and we will never undermine your ability to complete tasks safely.

To keep your caregiver up to date on the latest in home care innovations, it is also important to provide ongoing training. Finally, you must secure backup care if your primary caregiver is ever unavailable. Salus Homecare of San Fernando Valley handles all of this for our clients, saving them both time and money.
