Our proprietary Balanced Care Methodâ„¢ is changing the way the world ages. All of our caregivers are trained in this exclusive methodology that focuses on healthy body, mind, and spirit. On average, we hire only 1 in 25 caregiver applicants. We treat our caregivers as valued employees who are dedicated, responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and committed to providing a more balanced level of care.

Our experienced, personal caregivers provide care and companionship to older adults for anywhere from four hours at a time to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Clients can remain in their own homes so family members have peace of mind knowing that those they care about the most are receiving the highest quality of care.

In-home caregivers help clients with non-medical activities, such as showering, bathing and dressing, meal preparation, transportation, medication reminders, fall prevention, and more. Caregivers can also drive to medical appointments, the grocery store, pharmacy, or even go with clients on vacation trips.

There's no single explanation for how and why some people live so much healthier and more active years than others. But there is a place where more people live longer and healthier than any other place on earth: Okinawa, Japan. Recently, scientists have been studying this group of seniors to see if we could learn to live a longer and more productive life. Home Care Assistance has developed a revolutionary and proprietary approach to senior care based on these centenarian studies.

The Balanced Care Methodâ„¢ is based on studies of the extraordinarily long-lived elders in the Okinawa region of Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual in Okinawa. More important, people in their 70s, 80s and beyond enjoy incredible good health and independence. Excellent physical health, mental awareness, and inner calm are common among the studied elders The Balanced Care Methodâ„¢ seeks to capture some of the lifestyle factors that go towards creating such long-lived and healthy people. Components of Balanced Care Training include:

• Healthy Diet
• Physical Activity
• Sharp Minds
• Social Ties
• Calmness and Purpose

The Balanced Care Methodâ„¢ is an evidence-based program built on studies that demonstrate that only one-third of our healthy longevity is based on genetics and two-thirds on lifestyle factors within our control.

Home Care Assistance caregivers are trained in the Method, offering the first senior care solution with an emphasis on balance and longevity. By working with specific lifestyle behaviors, Home Care Assistance caregivers extend and enhance the lives of seniors, helping them live longer, happier, more balanced lives.
