Home Instead Senior Care - Charleston

Serving Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester Counties

Saying goodbye to familiar surroundings and the comfort and security of home is not always necessary for a senior, and this is very important. Why, because nearly 90% of seniors prefer to continue living at home according to national surveys! Home Instead Senior Care, founded in 1999, is Charleston’s trusted provider of nonmedical care givers, offering a variety of services to assist seniors in continuing to live at home independently, safely and comfortably. We also assist seniors while they are in a hospital, or living in a care facility and desire extra assistance.

Whenever You Need Us

From a few hours a day twice a week, up to 24 hours seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, we assist residents in the Greater Charleston area. Our CAREGiversSM are skilled in companionship, personal care, reducing the risk of falling, and chronic illness assistance including arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease. Our care givers also provide light housekeeping and incidental transportation (always accompanied) for doctor appointments and errands. Our care givers are insured and bonded. Typically, our care givers become “best friends” with their clients, as they are caring and compassionate people. Additionally, they are well trained in basic care giving, personal care, dementia assistance and safety.

Highly-Trained Caregivers

Many take additional classes in advanced care giving and then complete our nationally renowned course in Alzheimer’s training. The same care giver stays with each client and oftentimes a close friendship develops. Quality care is also assured by our highly experienced Licensed Practical Nurse on staff, and the availability of our leadership 24/7. PEACE OF MIND THE COMPASSIONATE WAY!

Let us help you or your family member live the life you want, safely and comfortably with friendly and reliable quality care. Please call us at 843-571-3000 with any questions or to arrange for your free, no obligation in-home appointment.

It seems this year may be particularly challenging for families until our economy resumes growing again. We are providing SPECIAL VALUE PROGRAMS for seniors and their families to cope with these challenges, and obtain the professional care giving services needed…just ask us! And, if your plans are to move from your home to a care facility but you have to wait until you can sell your home, let us know and we will develop a care giving service plan to assist you during the transition.
