Encouraging aging parents to accept home care support can be challenging. It’s natural for them to worry that receiving assistance might mean a loss of independence—when in reality, it can help them maintain it.

With support from compassionate and trained care aides, caregivers, or LPNs, older adults can continue making their own decisions while enjoying the comfort and familiarity of home.  A little help with daily tasks can go a long way in preserving their autonomy and well-being.

Waiting until a crisis occurs—such as a fall, dehydration, or a severe UTI—can mean that important care decisions are suddenly out of their hands. By  choosing professional in-home care proactively, families can have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe, supported, and empowered to live life on their terms.

Home care services, including those provided by our company, are typically not covered by government funding. In most cases, government support is limited to a set number of visits from a community health care aide, LPN, physical therapist, or occupational therapist—usually following a hospital stay or for individuals with significant medical needs who are homebound.

To ensure they receive the level of care needed to maintain a high quality of life at home, many families choose to supplement government-funded care with private home care services like ours. This additional support allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

One of the key reasons for our success is our ability to thoughtfully match clients with the right caregivers. After an initial meeting and assessment with you or your loved one, our Care Manager gains a clear understanding of the level of care required and the type of personality that would be the best fit.

From there, our care team carefully selects a caregiver who aligns with both the client’s needs and preferences. Nearly all of the time, our “matchmaking” process is a success. However, we understand that personal connections are important, and if at any time a client wishes to change caregivers for any reason, we are more than happy to accommodate their request. Our priority is ensuring comfort, trust, and the highest quality of care.

Hiring a private caregiver can be a complex and time-consuming process. Proper screening, background checks, and verifying credentials are essential to ensuring quality care. At Ana’s Care & Home Support, we have a rigorous screening and interview process to hire only the most qualified caregivers. Additionally, we provide insurance coverage, ensure compliance with WCB, and make sure all certifications are up to date.

Another challenge with hiring privately is the lack of backup support. If a private caregiver calls in sick or needs to be away for personal reasons, families are left scrambling to find a replacement or must step in themselves. With our company, you never have to worry—there is always a qualified backup caregiver available to ensure uninterrupted care.

Most importantly, when you choose Ana’s Care & Home Support, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re gaining the support of an entire care team dedicated to your loved one’s well-being. We are here to provide  compassionate, reliable care and to support you every step of the way.
