Most families come to us after a fall or a near miss, and it's natural to worry every time the phone rings. A caregiver can be there for the moments that feel risky, like the stairs, the shower and getting up from a chair, so your parent can keep moving around their own home.

What is safety and mobility support at home?

It means having a caregiver close by for the parts of the day when moving around feels hardest: getting out of bed, the stairs, the shower, the walk to the bathroom at night. They offer a steady arm, keep the walker within reach and the hallways clear, and let your family know if anything changes.

Someone close by

What changes when someone is there

The everyday moments that feel risky, the stairs, the bathroom, getting up from a chair, happen with a steady arm nearby. If something does go wrong, help is already in the house, and you hear what happened from someone who was there, that day. For many families, that’s what lets everyone breathe again.

Hands-on help with getting up, bathing and the bathroom is personal care. We provide personal care in Connecticut and New Jersey. In New York we provide companion care, by the hour, overnight, live-in or around the clock. With companion care, the caregiver is still close by, keeps the house clear and the day on track, and lets your family know about any changes.

If the nights worry you

Help through the night, too

For many families, the trips that worry them most happen after dark, on the way to the bathroom. An awake overnight caregiver can be there for exactly those hours. How overnight care works.

Questions about safety at home

Can a caregiver stop my mother from falling?

No one can promise that a fall will never happen. What a caregiver can do is be there for the moments that worry you most, like getting up from a chair, the stairs and the shower, and get help quickly if something does go wrong. Your family hears what happened from someone who was there, that same day.

What does mobility support look like day to day?

A steady arm getting out of bed, in and out of a chair, on the stairs and in and out of the shower, at the person's own pace. The caregiver keeps the walker within reach and the hallway clear, and lets your family know if they notice a change, like more hesitation on the stairs.

Can a caregiver help with exercises from a physical therapist?

Yes. A caregiver can encourage the exercises the therapist has set and keep the routine going between visits. The therapy itself comes from the therapist. In Connecticut, our separate company, Endurance Home Health, provides physical therapy at home.

What about a medical alert button?

Many families use one alongside a caregiver. A button helps when the person can reach it and press it. A caregiver in the house is there either way.
