What Can Home Care Do For You? Find Support for Persons with Mental Illnesses.

January 22, 2015

Home Care for Those Living with Mental DisordersAccording to the National Institute of Mental Health, over 18% of American adults suffer from a mental disability. Even more surprising is that 1 in 5 children (age 13-18) have had a seriously debilitating mental disorder at some point in their life. Over the last two decades, cases of mental disorders have consistently risen in the United States. This growth is expected to continue, especially among children and young adults.

If you or someone you know lives with a mental disability, you understand the challenges associated with these conditions. Thankfully, there is help available!

Home care from a personal care assistant can greatly benefit those living with mental disorders. A home care professional can provide assistance with dressing and grooming, shopping and planning, behavior redirection, and many other tasks. The goal of every personal care attendant is to make the life of the person they’re caring for as easy as possible. They will work with you to come up with a customized home health care plan that best suits your needs.

At Best Home Care, we support personal care attendants who currently serve individuals living with various mental disabilities including:

  • Severe Anxiety or Phobias
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Depression
  • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
  • And more

In-home supportive services and home care services are often only associated  with the elderly. The truth is that home care can benefit individuals of all ages and a diverse range of needs.

Best Home Care is a top Minneapolis home care agency offering administrative assistance and resource support to personal care assistants in the Twin Cities area. If you have any questions about home care for persons with mental disabilities, contact us today! Our home care professionals are here to help and will walk you through the process of starting home health care services.
