It is estimated that up to 7 million women are unpaid caregivers to the elderly. These women struggle to cope with the exhaustion, loneliness, mental and physical demands, and heartbreak of watching their loved ones grow weaker. They’re in desperate need of help.

HomeLife Senior Care in Brentwood provides an affordable solution for older individuals or couples capable of managing their physical needs, but who require non-medical assistance, light housework, meal preparation and/or companionship in order to remain at home.

According to Vinny DiNicola of HomeLife Senior Care, services can be arranged for as little as three and as many as 24 hours a day. Short-term assistance and long-term care are available seven days a week, including holidays.

When a potential client calls the company, a meeting is arranged with client and family to discuss what services are needed. “Cost is on an hourly basis,” said DiNicola, “so hours can be decreased or increased based on changing needs.”

The company’s one-on-one services are provided by screened, bonded and insured caregivers. Special attention is given to match caregivers with clients to achieve the utmost compatibility.

“Elder care has become the top problem in our society today, as it replaces child care as the number-one issue for the men and women in today’s work force.” DiNicola said. “People are spending more time caring for or providing for the care of their elderly parents than they did caring for their own children. The problem will only magnify with the aging of the population, and census reports have revealed this trend for some time.

“Research shows that older people who remain at home live longer and happier lives than do people of similar circumstances who are forced to leave their homes to live in other environments. HomeLife Senior Care can help the elderly remain in the comfort of their own homes for much longer periods of time.”
