5 Star Home Care can be a Great Alternative to Assisted Living or a Supplement to Assisted Living.  5 Star Home Care has been offering personalized assistance to older Atlantans for over several years. Our care plans enable people, of any age or health condition, to maintain control over their life and stay living in the comfort of their own home! Most people are familiar with Assisted Living, which offers independent senior living apartments with services available such as social activities, meals, housekeeping, and certified nursing assistant services such as medication reminders, mobility assistance, or personal care assistance. Services are usually a la carte so people can choose which ones they want or don’t want to use. The downfall of assisted living, for many people, is having to move out of their home into an apartment, a new and less private environment. Also, social activities in Assisted Living are planned to meet the general interest of a group rather than an individual’s interests. The meals are not always what people like or have been accustomed to eating in their life. Also, the certified nursing assistant services are a la carte and can get expensive as people start needing more and more assistance.  With 5 Star Home Care, people get to stay living in their own home and we bring the benefits of Assisted Living into their home, personalized to their needs. Our caregivers can take people on social outings based on their interests, prepare meals to their liking, help with housekeeping, and do certified nursing assistant services such as medication reminders, mobility assistance, personal care assistance, and so much more. (See Our Services for a complete description of the Certified Nursing Assistant and Companion Caregivers that we offer to our clients.)

With 5 Star Home Care, people do not pay a la carte for services, but rather pay for the amount of time that the caregiver spends with them and that time is managed to meet their individual needs. This can be more cost effective and beneficial for many people.  Another benefit with 5 Star Home Care is that a Registered Nurse manages all of the care that is provided for a client and keeps open communication with family members. People often consider Assisted Living because it offers a memory care unit. What people don’t always know is that 5 Star Home Care caregivers are able to live in our client’s homes to provide them around-the-clock memory care. An important benefit to live-in home care for people with dementia is that they get to stay home, where it is familiar and comfortable, combined with continuity in care by working with the same caregiver(s).  5 Star Home Care is a great option for people who need memory care. 5 Star Home Care might not be the choice for everyone, but more and more people are realizing that they don’t have to move. We believe that 5 Star Home Care offers everything Assisted Living does, and more! If you have a question about your particular situation, assisted living versus home care, or long-term care in general, please call  5 Star Home Care  at 404-719-4118.
