Assistance Home Care stepped in on very short notice to get my 91 yr old mother back on her feet. Every one of their aides (and office staff) was unfailingly courteous and competent and they all went the extra mile – asking to take on whatever they could. My mother had fallen and fractured her pelvis – the aides not only addressed her ADLs, but also encouraged her to get onto her feet and begin walking as quickly as possible, with them standing by. The building where she lives has been prickly about COVID precautions but the aides bore up well under the delays imposed. (I have had my own issues with the building.). We could not have been more satisfied, and, while I hope that my mom remains independent, if the time comes again that she needs help we will be calling Assistance Home Care.

<p>From the very beginning, we wanted to keep things simple. We wanted to provide the most personalized service available, so our clients could stay at home comfortably for as long as they choose. After taking a look at how home care was structured both at home and around the world, we found one resounding theme among home care recipients: people want consistency and customization. For this reason, we implemented our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept and assigned each client to their own Care Coordinator. We went a step further by keeping case loads for Care Coordinators as small as possible, so that they have ample time to get to know all of their clients. In line with our mission to provide the highest degree of personalization, all of our Care Coordinator are available to clients, their families, and caregivers 24/7. They manage and update each client’s ever-changing care plan, communicate with caregivers, and make home visits as frequently as ne cessary.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept is an extension of our emphasis on customization and consistency. After an initial assessment and caregiver placement, we focus on keeping the same caregiver or team of caregivers in place. In this manner, the same, knowledgeable staff is ever-present and random caregivers are never sent. Should there ever be a change in the regular caregivers for any reason, the Care Coordinator or Primary Caregiver will personally introduce the new caregiver to the client. Our client’s comfort is our top priority and we believe home care should not be characterized by a revolving door of providers.</p>

We had Senior Helpers for a while, but we quit using them. We used them for four weeks. The husband and wife owners were very nice. The only problem that we had was we wanted the same caretaker, and we weren’t able to get that. The one caretaker that we had was only 19 years old. She had no experience doing that, and the day she was with my mother, she was scared and she kept calling my sister. She was very apprehensive in what my mom wanted. We had a very strange situation with the girl. She gave us her name, and when we checked her out, it was a 30 something year-old woman. When we rang her, she happened to be a friend of ours, a granddaughter, and we saw her face on Facebook. She lied to the agency, and she lied to us about who she was, and what her name was to get the job. That threw us off totally for her to get that job. We thought if they would do that once, maybe they would do that again. We told them about it, that they better check her because we told her what her name really was, not the name that she had given them. We were not comfortable with the company anymore after that. They came one day a week, four hours a day. They provided just companionship. She made sure she got her medicine, and made sure she got lunch, and that was it. Pricing was very good.

Saint Louis Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Saint Louis:
Weatherization Assistance Program
Address: 3701 Grandel Square, St. Louis, MO 63108
Phone Number: (314) 651-3646
The Urban League Weatherization Assistance Program is federally funded but also takes donations from local businesses. The program enables low-income households to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy-efficient. Priority is given to senior citizens on a fixed income and those with disabilities. Services provided by the program include furnace repairs and replacements, installing insulation, window and door repairs and caulking.
Community Centers
Address: Not Listed (Multiple locations)
Phone Number: (636) 207-0847
Aging Ahead is a nonprofit organization that operates 21 senior community centers throughout the city of St. Louis. Each center provides nutritious meals to seniors participating in activities at the centers and delivers meals to the homes of eligible seniors in the surrounding areas. There is no charge for any of the services or meals at the center but voluntary contributions are always welcomed. Activities offered at the centers include exercise classes, health screenings, arts and crafts, social events and guest lectures.
Meal Programs
Address: 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103
Phone Number: (314) 612-5918
This state-funded program provides home-delivered meals to senior citizens five times a week. The meals are delivered hot at lunchtime from Monday to Friday ensuring that seniors in the area are getting nutritious food on a regular basis. The program aims to keep seniors safely in their homes for as long as they are able to be independent. Nutritional supplements are provided with the meals if a dietician thinks that a senior is lacking in certain vitamins or minerals. A three-meal emergency food pack is provided to all seniors in case of an emergency or inclement weather preventing the standard meal delivery from occurring.
Chores and Home Repairs Program
Address: 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103
Phone Number: (314) 612-5918
The program includes both volunteer and state-funded contractors who perform minor home repairs and chores for seniors in the St. Louis area. The home repairs are funded by the state in general but the senior may have to contribute depending on the scale of the work required. Services offered include basic plumbing and electric work, minor home repairs to the interior and exterior of the building and the installation of ramps. The chore program is entirely carried out by volunteers and no cost is involved. Chores and work offered by the program include yard work, painting, cleaning and gutter clearing.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
