Why Assistance +?
It is not easy to care for aging family members, particularly when you live far away. Frequent visits are often impractical. When you can’t be in Hilton Head and you need assistance with monitoring your family member, we can fill in and provide assurance that your loved ones are managing well or alert you when there is a concern.
If there is an emergency need, we respond immediately, making recommendations and acting as a liaison with local hospitals, doctors, or service agencies. Our assistance is also extended to seniors having difficulty managing the complex care of a husband or wife who is ill or experiencing the cognitive decline of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Whether you require extensive services or just modest support, you and your family can expect to be treated with compassion and sensitivity by our staff.
This is our promise to you.
