Disability care and special needs care for non-medical elderly services refer to support and assistance provided to elderly individuals who have disabilities or special needs that impact their daily lives. While these services may not necessarily involve medical treatments, they focus on addressing the individual's non-medical needs to improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

Top Benefits of Disability or Special Needs Care from a Non-medical Practice

At Elite Home Care, we’re proud to offer the following personal and companion caretaking services to adults with disabilities or special needs:

• Personal Care Assistance: This includes help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility assistance.
  
  
• Companionship: Providing companionship is an essential aspect of non-medical elderly care. This can involve engaging in conversation, playing games, reading, or accompanying the individual on outings.
