There comes a time in life when our own needs, or the needs of our loved ones, exceed our ability, time, and resources to meet them. Perhaps that need is just for light housekeeping and assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing and bathing. Perhaps that need is for doing the laundry or preparing meals and picking up that necessary prescription. Perhaps that need is for companionship and conversation.
As we age, basic tasks that we used to do independently and with ease often become difficult to manage on our own. This is the time to call in the help of Specialty Home Care Services, Inc., an agency that has been caring for people in their homes for over 20 years; an agency that helps carry the weight of aging gracefully with compassion and care.
There is no better team of dedicated professionals than can be found at Specialty Home Care Services (SHCS) with its offices in both Johnston and Worcester, MA. President Anne Shattuck, one of the founders of the agency, leads a closeknit team of women who devote their time and talents to coordinating care for their many clients.
This care begins with a first call to the office where one will hear the friendly voice of office manager Deb Guglielmo. Deb will walk you through the steps of eligibility such as insurance coverage and private pay rates ~ she is an excellent resource for those navigating this experience for their first time or when the client’s level of care and need for services have changed.
Once eligibility is determined, a home assessment is scheduled with the client and/or family. The home visit is done by Mary French, a longtime RN who is known for her personal touch. Mary will assess the client’s needs and establish an individualized care plan. Though Mary is a nurse, Specialty Home Care Services does NOT provide medical care of any kind, instead, they provide comfort, basic care, and companionship so their clients can remain in their own home.
Next the client is matched with the best caregiver(s) for their needs. Specialty Home Care Services has many dedicated caregivers who go above and beyond every day for their clients and Alicia Lima, Recruiter/Coordinator, is always searching for more CNAs and Certified Homemakers to provide the care offered by SHCS. She is looking for caregivers who are responsible, reliable, caring, kind, patient, and passionate about the people they serve.
Specialty Home Care Services is set apart from other agencies because of both this committed team of professionals and the way they care for the clients who come to them by way of personal referral or select insurance providers.
