Home Care Services for Seniors in Connecticut

HEADER blocks only

Home care services help older adults receive individualized support while living at home. Mozaic Senior Life offers options that fit your situation. This includes help for those just leaving the hospital, people recovering from surgery or illness, or those who need ongoing everyday support.

 

Our senior home care provides personalized care that fits your needs and encourages independence. We offer both medical and non-medical support. We've provided community services for more than 50 years and are here to help you get the level of care best suited for your family.


Helping Seniors Remain Independent at Home

Seniors and families often turn to us when mobility challenges, changing health needs, or cognitive shifts make daily self-care difficult and extend beyond what loved ones can provide on their own.

 

Our home care for seniors provides additional support where you need it. It allows you to maintain familiar routines and surroundings. If you're looking for a solution for aging in place, our services support your independence.


What Are Home Care Services?

Home care services are those provided within your home. But there are various ways and levels of support we can offer. We deliver these in two types: medical home care and non-medical home care.

 

Medical Home Care

Medical home care services provide clinical or rehabilitative support in your home. Our services include:

  • Skilled nursing
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Home health aide services
  • Medical social work
  • Nutritional counseling.

 

Our team works to understand your unique needs. That may include advanced care in areas such as:

  • Wound care
  • Diabetic education and support
  • Cardiac care
  • Orthopedic and joint recovery support
  • Vestibular rehabilitation
  • Fall prevention
  • Home safety evaluations

 

Elderly home care for medical needs isn't one-size-fits-all. This allows us to provide customized care for your specific needs.

 

Non-Medical Home Care

Non-medical care focuses more readily on everyday activity support. It incorporates personal assistance, companionship, and other supportive solutions you need to maintain independence.

 

Mozaic Companions & Homemakers currently offers:

  • Personal care
  • Light housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Errands
  • Grocery shopping
  • Transportation
  • Live-in companions
  • Recreational activities
  • Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)

 

Our Non-Medical Home Care provides the support you need to stay safe. Learn more about our specific services by reaching out.


When Should You Consider Home Care for a Loved One?

Elderly care at home isn't always a simple decision. Often, your loved one's needs change over time. If you're currently living on your own, you may appreciate some help with areas that are challenging.

 

The following are some signs it's time to seek additional support:

  • Difficulty bathing, dressing, or grooming
  • Trouble preparing meals
  • Reduced mobility
  • Increased fall risk
  • Difficulty maintaining the home
  • Social isolation or loneliness
  • Family caregivers struggling to keep up with care needs
  • Recovery following hospitalization, surgery, or illness
  • Need for continued rehabilitation

 

Perhaps day-to-day tasks are getting harder, but you want to remain independent. Consider these areas to determine whether now is the time to get additional help.


Home Care After a Hospital Stay or Rehabilitation

Mozaic Senior Life is here when your life demands more attention. We offer supportive services often needed after hospitalization, surgery, or short-term rehab, and provide a range of outpatient therapy:

  • In-home physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Skilled nursing when appropriate
  • Personal assistance
  • Home safety support

 

Mozaic provides in-home therapy following hospitalization or a short-term rehabilitation stay. Our goal is to help you regain as much independence as possible.


Benefits of Home Care for Seniors

Home care assistance can benefit seniors in many ways. Consider quality of life, for example. Staying in familiar surroundings, maintaining independence, and sticking to daily routines can improve a person's quality of life. You can still receive personalized one-on-one support for those areas that are more challenging now.

 

In addition, in-home senior care lets you heal at home after a significant setback. It provides companionship and social engagement to support brain health. And, for family caregivers, it offers peace of mind.


Personalized Care Based on Your Needs

No single home care plan fits everyone's needs. With our Eldercare Navigation support, you can consider areas like the following to determine when these needs are valuable:

  • Health
  • Mobility
  • Independence
  • Living situation
  • Family support
  • Recovery needs
  • Personal preferences

 

Mozaic's ElderCare Navigation program helps evaluate in-home care needs. We can help you set up the type and level of care necessary. We also help you navigate changes over time as needed.

Home Care Services FAQs

What is home care for seniors?

Home care for seniors involves a trained professional coming into your home to provide the type and level of support your loved one needs. Senior home care varies and can include medical and non-medical care.

 

What's the difference between home care and home health care?

Home care and home health care differ significantly. Home care provides support for tasks within the home. Home health care for seniors supports medical needs such as wound care, diabetes management, and therapy services.

 

What services can a caregiver provide at home?

In-home care services range widely. They typically include personal care at home, assistance with bathing, grooming, and dressing, and meal planning. They can help with mobility and provide non-medical medication reminders.

 

How do I know if my parent needs home care?

Signs an elderly parent needs help often include a diminished quality of life, increasing safety risks, or mobility limitations. It's not easy to know when a senior needs home care. That's why we encourage you to reach out to us for an evaluation.

 

Can home care help after a hospital stay?

Yes! Home care after a hospital stay can mean the difference between thriving and struggling. Post-hospital care at home may help some people avoid rehabilitation services.
