Home Aide Services In Hanover, MA

While retirement is often referred to as The Golden Years, it doesn’t always feel that way for seniors experiencing inherent signs of aging, such as diminishing eyesight, limited mobility or health conditions that make it impossible to remain independent.

Fortunately, home aide services allow seniors to age-in-place safely, comfortably and with the freedom to participate in their favorite social activities, hobbies, and outings.

Home aides provide tremendous support for senior clients, ranging from companionship and housekeeping assistance to errand running, meal planning and help with transportation. All of this is done without the need for a traumatic move into an assisted living facility – and saves thousands of dollars per year when compared with facility-based senior care.

All of the services are provided by North River Home Care licensed home aides in Hanover. These are designed to keep seniors independent and feeling good about themselves – at home, surrounded by the people, pets, and belongings they love.

Companionship Care in Hanover

Never underestimate the power of socialization and human interaction. Countless studies prove regular social interaction slows down the progress of cognitive decline and significantly reduces seniors’ risk of loneliness and depression.

We tailor companionship services to address the needs and desires of our clients. Reading, board/card games, listening to music, dancing, taking walks or hikes, transporting them to bingo, bunco, church, women’s/men’s groups – all are glimpses of what our home aides offer to keep seniors living life to the fullest.
