Whole Person Care Designed for Happiness and Fulfillment
As Mom and Dad age, they may need additional assistance in order to remain in the home and community they love. With customized home care in Glendale and nearby areas designed to provide this support, Happier Home Care is also committed to caring for the whole person – enhancing independence and self-confidence and creating an environment that brings joy, happiness, and fulfillment.
We help our clients with a wide range of personal care and practical tasks, but we also believe that it’s just as important to help older adults maintain their freedom and the connections they have established in their community. For example, a recent client who is a retired firefighter was no longer able to meet with his firefighting friends on his own. After starting to work with Happier Home Care, he is again able to safely meet his friends for breakfast several times per week.
We Focus on Living
Never a one-size-fits-all approach to care, we work to build a personal relationship with each of our clients in order to discover their passions and interests, incorporating these elements into the plan of care.
Additionally, families find peace of mind in knowing that over 90% of our care team is vaccinated against COVID-19, and each member of our team is thoroughly screened, insured, and registered with the California Home Care Services Bureau.
We love saying “yes” to doing what makes a client happy, even if it requires a bit more effort and creativity. Whether it’s accompanying a client to the theatre, reminiscing while listening to a favorite jazz record, encouragement to restart an old hobby, or simply taking a drive together to rekindle an old memory, we go above and beyond just helping with the activities of daily living. We focus on helping clients to live a life that has meaning and enjoyment within the limitations they may be experiencing.
