Comprehensive Aging in Place Services – Safe and Independent Living at Home for Seniors

A Guide to Growing Older at Home

During the golden years, the familiarity of one’s own home significantly enhances well-being. The concept of aging in place is about spending your later years in a place rich with memories. Aging in place offers more security and comfort. At SmithLife Homecare, we recognize the importance of this life stage. Our services are crafted to support the elderly with a blend of professionalism, warmth, and care, enabling them to preserve their independence while ensuring their health and safety are addressed with dignity and compassion. Discover the benefits of our aging in place services!

What Is Aging in Place?

Aging in place means remaining in your own home or community in later years instead of moving to age-specific housing. This choice allows for consistency in one’s social connections, daily routines, and physical environment. However, it may also present some challenges as one’s needs change over time. We understand this challenge at SmithLife Homecare, and our team provides support that enables aging individuals to enjoy their autonomy without compromising on wellness or safety.

How Do We Support Aging in Place Challenges?

When it comes to aging in place, we know the challenges associated with the concept. To combat these challenges, our team offers various types of support for you or your loved one to ensure a higher quality of care. Explore how we support those in aging in place:

Local Transportation to Doctor’s Appointments: Mobility should not be a barrier to maintaining good health. Our caregivers ensure that appointments are kept and health management remains a priority by providing reliable transportation to and from medical visits.

My mother has had wonderful caregivers provided by SmithLife Homecare. The office is extremely responsive (within hours) when my mom got sick and needed an aide. It is wonderful to be able to get help quickly, when and only when needed.

When my Mother passed out, her aide from SmithLife immediately performed CPR, and saved her life!

Tracey S., Clarksburg, MD

We worked with SLHC to set up care for my mother when she came home from the hospital and a rehabilitation center after a fall. The care needed to be set up very quickly, and SLHC handled this beautifully.

Dana H.

I would highly recommend SmithLife care for anyone looking for additional support for loved ones. The staff is incredible and worked with us to find the right amount of care and was also flexible when making changes. They consistently check in on how things are going and make sure everything is going well. The care providers were incredibly kind and willing to do anything that was asked of them. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with SmithLife Homecare.

Seth F.

The caregivers at SmithLife Homecare have been consistently friendly and helpful to my relative, and the staff has also been professional and helpful to me as we figured out the right level of care together.

Wendy S.

We have had support from Smithlife for the past few years to care for our Mother at her independent living facility. They have been very good to work with, always meeting our needs, especially on very short notice, and their caregivers have been excellent. The administrative staff has always been available and very responsive to any requests we would have, day or night, and made sure the needs of my Mother were always their priority.

Steve K.

We've hired three companies in the past and this was the best. Much better prices, easier to work with and the caregivers were all very nice.

Martha E.

SmithLife Homecare provided excellent support from scheduling to appointment pick-up. Staff were courteous, caring, and compassionate - the three "C's" that one would expect when caring for a loved one. This organization is highly recommended and their culture is excellent!

Mark X.

In the two and a half years Faustina has been my sister’s aide she has demonstrated unwavering kindness, patience, and professionalism. She gives 150%, every day. I live out of state and it’s a comfort knowing Faustina is there, making sure my sister’s needs are met. She keeps me in the loop; calls my sister on her days off, just to check in. She understands my sister’s special needs and has the remarkable ability to listen and “hear” her. Faustina makes her laugh and smile, even under the most difficult of circumstances. Without her support my sister would not have the quality of life she enjoys. Faustina is our gem!

Mora H.

William G.

As I recovered for hip replacement, I had 2 caregivers who were excellent: timely, caring competent, willing to do anything I needed. The agency exceeded my expectations.

SmithLife went above and beyond our expectations. Not only do they have a large pool of caregivers, they were able to fill our needs in 6 hours or less with qualified and very caring people.

Jeanne K.

SmithLife Homecare was a great help to me when I needed to get my 84-year old mom to and from a doctor appointment. All the team members were super-responsive, extremely helpful and reassuring. The employee who actually picked up my mom and drove her was prompt, warm and friendly, and made my mom feel completely at ease. It was a great service, and I'll definitely be using them again.

Their care and service went far beyond the requirements of the job, and we consider all of them to be family.
