With help from experienced caregivers and nurses; seniors, the chronically ill, and those recovering from an illness, can stay at home. Affective Healthcare offers individualized in-home care services, private duty nurses, mental health services, and chronic disease management. Affective Healthcare services are available in Los Angeles County, and some neighboring areas of Orange County and Ventura County.

Caregivers provide assistance with daily living activities including personal hygiene, dressing and grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, errands, and transportation. Family members have peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe. The elderly or medically fragile remain in the comfort of their own home. Home health aides can also provide extra care for an elderly patient at an assisted living facility, preventing a traumatic move to a skilled nursing home.

Patients with serious medical issues need a private duty nurse. A registered nurse assesses the patients needs, develops a personalized care plan, and does a weekly follow-up to be sure the care plan is meeting the clients needs. The private duty nurse manages medication, monitors vital signs, assists with transfers, ambulation, or mobility, and can escort patients to medical appointments.

Specially trained nurses and social workers help patients and families dealing with Parkinson's disease, CVA, dementia, and Alzheimer's. They help families develop a therapeutic environment and strengthen the family support system. They deal with challenging behaviors and can help the patient and family develop coping skills. They monitor and administer psychotropic medications.

In-home care providers help patients manage chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. Quality of daily life is improved with proper nutrition and exercise. Home health aides prepare diet sensitive meals, assist with exercise and mobility, and remind patients to take scheduled medications.

Some patients schedule a caregiver for a couple hours a day. Patients with more complex medical or mental health issues may need 24 hour live-in care. Affective Healthcare offers individualized care to meet the varying and unique needs of their clients. There's no charge for the in-home care assessment. On call staff provides emergency assistance for patients and their families 24 hours a day.
