Personal Service Agencies Or Home Health Care Providers? Our Team Explains The Difference

December 11, 2018

As we cruise into the holiday season, many families are coming together to spend time with one another and catch up on lost time. Children, parents, and grandparents often come together to celebrate their time as a family. If you have noticed that your aging loved one has been struggling to accomplish daily tasks, or that their health condition is requiring increasingly more care, it may prove beneficial to seek out professional help. Loved ones across Indiana will find a wide range of in-home care services available to help them and their aging relative achieve independence, and choosing the correct option will deliver amazing results for everyone involved.

Your Healing Touch is here to serve as your trusted home health care provider, delivering complete medical care to help your loved one achieve the highest level of health possible. We also serve as a personal service agency (PSA), providing comprehensive companion care to help elderly residents achieve their optimal level of independence and happiness.

While both options are valuable, they can entail very different services. Today, we’ll compare the differences between public service agencies and home health care providers to ensure you are clear on your family’s plan. Afterward, be sure to contact us to learn more about our complete at-home care services.

Personal Service Agencies

Across the State of Indiana, many families have come to rely on home care services provided by licensed professionals to enable their aging loved one to achieve the highest level of independence and quality of life possible. In-home senior care is a specialty for most of the personal service agencies across the state, as individuals work to meet the needs of every elderly individual to ensure all of their needs are met in a caring, healthy manner.

Personal care can support nearly every aspect of your loved one’s life, including:

  • Reminders for medication
  • Bathing assistance
  • Meal preparation
  • Assistance with dressing
  • Light house duties
  • Laundry assistance
  • Transportation services
  • 24-hour or scheduled care times
  • Companionship services

Ultimately, the goal of our home care services is to care for your family member to the best of our abilities to increase the quality of life for everyone in the family. We understand that caring for your loved one can be stressful, and at times overwhelming, which is why our in-home care is available across Indianapolis. Our non-medical staff can provide all of the day-to-day support needed, but bear in mind that these professionals hold no medical power beyond reminding your loved one to take their medication.

Home Health Care Professionals

Citizens in need of in-home care without medical assistance can benefit from private services, but those with clinical needs for a healthcare professional will likely need to find a home health agency. Your Healing Touch relies on qualified medical professionals to assist in managing, treating, and testing our patients to ensure the best measures are being taken to optimize health and happiness. Our home health care providers can provide the perfect level of care for your loved one, including pain management programs, wound care, injections and IV treatments, quality nursing care, and more. The medical value of our company shines in the results we see on a daily basis across the state.

Our comprehensive approach to home health care ensures that our providers are delivering more than medical assistance and peace of mind — we provide companionship. Your Healing Touch was founded on the ideal of healing at home combined with compassionate care to provide a positive experience for everyone involved. Our home care professionals have a passion for helping people, and we would love to help your family achieve a healthy balance by personalizing our services to meet your needs.

The Value of Your Healing Touch

Many families are tasked with either finding a personal service agency or a home health agency to care for their loved one, but Your Healing Touch is here to provide the best level of coverage for both needs. Our in-home care specialists can provide complete support for your elderly relative, but if medical assistance is needed, our health providers will be happy to offer their services. Many Indiana residents require at-home medical care, impacting their ability to complete daily tasks. Our health care specialists can create a personalized plan that cares for both aspects of your loved one’s life, ensuring there are no lapses in coverage. With personal care that provides complete support, you’ll be able to see your loved one thrive!

If you’re looking for complete in-home care in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas, our team is here and ready to help. Coverage options can vary based on private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, and your loved one’s long-term care benefits, necessitating proper research before making a decision. Contact us today to see how we can provide comprehensive, compassionate care for your aging family member. We look forward to speaking with you.
