How do I know what kind of care my loved one needs?
The first step to starting service is an "intake" conversation with a nurse or coordinator. This "intake" will help us know what type and how much assistance might be needed. The second step will be to arrange an assessment visit to the home. Scheduling the days and times, as well as activities of assistance will follow. Read More

Joyce - Haverstraw, NY
"After many strokes, a hip replacement and the death of my husband, the people, nurses and others at Home Aides of Rockland, Inc. have helped me during this time. I couldn't have made it without you during the past few years. Your kindness and dedication helped me to achieve my present and marginal independence. Any one in need of compassion and care needs to know that Home Aides is available to them." Read More
Five Winter Safety Tips for Older Adults
The winter months can be particularly difficult for older adults, presenting a unique set of challenges. Both older adults and their caregivers should take some added precautions in order to provide for their health and safety.
1. Check home safety devices. Make sure smoke detectors and C02 detectors have new batteries. Ensure that any space heaters are functioning properly and are positioned at least three feet away from flammable items such as curtains or furniture and never use a gas stove to heat your house
2. Have emergency supplies on hand. Flameless candles, flashlights, fully-charged cell phones, non-perishable foods and extra prescription medication should be stored in case of storms, power outages and difficult road conditions.
3. Have an emergency contact. Choose someone to check in regularly by phone or in person to make sure everything is okay.
4. Dress warm.If you must go out of doors in frigid temperatures, remember that two or three thin layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one thick layer, and will preserve body heat better.
5. Plan when and learn how to safely shovel snow. Check with your doctor about such strenuous exercise. Persons with cardiac conditions or asthma and who regularly exercise in warmer months may not be able to tolerate the same amount of exercise in cold weather.
