Extended Hand Home Care is the ideal solution for elderly or disabled individuals who want to maintain their independence and dignity by continuing to live in the comfort of their own homes. Our companions make their lives easier by performing many of the tasks which have become difficult and tiring.

Respite Care

Extended Hand Home Care’s respite service provides family caregivers short term breaks. Caring for a friend or family member is a difficult job, one that should not be done alone. Whether it is to free up time so you can run errands, go to medical appointments or just to take a break, our services can help balance the demanding job of caring for a loved one.

Our respite care services are available for individuals of any age and can range from a few hours to twenty-four hour care. This allows individuals to remain in their own environment which tends to be less stressful on the individual.

• Driving and/or accompanying the client to the physician when necessary
• Shopping and performing other household errands
• Reminding clients to take their medication
