TORRANCE, CA, November 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) Connections Home Care provides quality in-home care to seniors in the South Bay area, enabling them to stay in their own homes and avoid the expense and upheaval involved in entering a residential facility.
Connections Home Care stands out from similar companies in the way it utilizes technology to allow family members to access caregivers during their shifts. The online portal - FamilyCARES - is available not only to relatives but also to doctors or care managers, providing they have been invited to log in. Family members can both review the activities provided by the caregiver and also download reports for insurance purposes.
"We are proud to offer a 'white glove' level of service," says co-founder and vice-president Hebah Qureshi. "Our highly qualified caregivers all undergo three to five interviews and thorough background checks before being employed. They then receive ongoing training, both in activities suitable for elderly clients and in helping seniors manage technology. In our experience, the seniors respond very well to the technology."
Connections Home Care provides caregivers who can perform a host of non-medical tasks as needed: meal preparation, running errands, transportation, housekeeping and administering medications. The tasks most of us take for granted can seem overwhelming to some seniors who are finding many everyday chores more and more challenging or who simply want some pleasant company.
Those interested in finding an exceptional level of senior care in the South Bay area should visit www.connectionshomecare.com.
