If you spot even one, it means that assisted living could improve your loved one’s safety, comfort, and quality of life—and it only takes a single phone call to get started!

Read on to learn more, or call (516)-708-0900 to speak directly with an assisted living specialist in Nassau, NY.

4 Signs Your Loved Ones Could Benefit From Assisted Living Services

  1. Fall hazards. Did you find (or stumble across) all sorts of slip-and-trip hazards in the home, such as throw rugs, clutter, and bunches of tangled cords strung across walkways? Are areas of the home care environment poorly lit?Take a closer look at mom and dad, too. Are they experiencing any dizziness, blurred vision, or loss of balance, perhaps due to medication or chronic conditions?Falls are some of the most common and costly causes of serious injury and hospitalization for seniors in Nassau, but they’re also entirely preventable. And to that end, assisted living services can’t be beat.Not only do we remove fall hazards from the home, decluttering walkways and ensuring adequate lighting in all rooms, but we also reduce the risks for mom and dad by assisting with medication management, facilitating healthy lifestyles, and improving communications with optometrists and other healthcare providers. Additionally, we can help purchase and set up installation for mobility aids that lower the risks of slip-and-fall injury, such as ramps, handrails, and grab bars.
  2. Unfinished business. Do you notice stacks of unopened mail, unpaid bills, or other important documents that your loved one has been neglecting? These are potentially early signs of cognitive, physical, or emotional impairment. Our assisted living team can help you assess the depth of the problem and provide simple solutions. Whether you need assistance with organizing and decluttering, or hands-on help with paying bills and ensuring important documents are being sent, our assisted living team is standing by to support your loved ones.
  3. Isolation. If your loved ones seem distanced from friends, family, and community, they may be at risk of social isolation, which is a leading health concern for seniors, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where social distancing orders, travel restrictions, and forced closures have made it even harder to stay connected.Fortunately, social isolation is easily treated. Not only can our assisted living team provide companionship care on-demand, but we can also facilitate COVID-safe visits with friends and family, and serve as a reliable point of contact for your larger family network whenever they want to get in touch.
  4. Changes in appearance. Appearance can say a lot about your loved ones’ standard of living. If they appear to have lost or gained weight, or if they seem to be wearing the same clothes day after day, or if they look more tired or stressed than usual, they may be struggling with depression, chronic pain, or loss of mobility, all of which require treatment, and all of which our assisted living service is designed to help.

    It is with great pleasure that I write this review about Galaxy Homecare. Choosing homecare for yourself your loved one is not easy and can be quite emotional too. Everyone at Galaxy made my experience wonderful. Starting with Ben, what can I say, the best person to help you navigate during these trying times and Natalie, an absolute treasure to the company. Of course, everyone else at Galaxy as well. Their home care personnel are top notch!! I highly recommend Galaxy Home care for you or your loved one!! Thank you.

    I can't say enough about the service Ben at Galaxy provided to ensure I had the best care possible for my 89 year old father who had dimentia and also took a fall recently. Ben took the time to really understand our needs as a family, given the challenging circumstances with his recent fall that immobilized my father to a degree. We were given the services of Kalu Odin whom for a month, who took care of my father like he was his own son, and I felt Kalu to be part of the family. He was absolutely attentive in every aspect and truly helped my father's recovery process. He loves what he does, and it shows with his empathy and his diligence with dad, who took a great liking to Kalu. Dad is doing much better, and I attribute that to Kalu ,Ben, and the Galaxy team!

    Galaxy Home Care came into my life when my mother was sent home from a SNF in no shape to be left alone. Ben explained how the agency could help. We have met many kind, caring HHA's. If I ever need to use an agency again, I would definitely contact Galaxy Home Care.

    Everyone is very helpful, especially Ben Kalika, who is always available or, if he is with another client, always calls you back immediately. And, the aide who worked with my mother, Guerlyne Jean Baptiste, is a wonderful, caring and compassionate person with great skills in working with elderly people. I could not have asked for more. Thank you.

    Wonderful service and great care for elderly. Galaxy Home cares and always avaliable to help. Forever grateful for the work that they do.

    Anastasiya Siniakovich Apr 19, 2022

    Galaxy Home Care is a life savior for our family. My mom suffered a devastating stroke in December rendering her handicapped and unable to live on her own. Navigating the Medicaid/Medicare maze became my full time job yielding very little results. If it wasn’t for the super knowledgeable, compassionate and overall professional Galaxy team, I still would have no dependable home care solution for my mom. They jumped through so many hoops and made everything work. Finally, somebody had my back! Thanks to Galaxy Home Care, they found a perfect home attendant for my mom, guided me through securing supplemental at-home services for her, and continue to provide lots of support and guidance as we move forward. Thank you, Galaxy Home Care!

    When your close elderly family members are in need of daily assistance, often we are not prepared for all the red tape, financial and personal decisions that come with it. Galaxy has been caring, professional and very accommodating with all of our requests. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with them.
