Elderly Health Issues

Cognitive health is focused on a person’s ability to think, learn and remember. The most common cognitive health issue facing the elderly is dementia, the loss of those cognitive functions.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave my mother. I really appreciate all that you did!

I cannot say enough about this agency!! From the owners, Jennie and Ross to their care givers, they are top notch! They have been caring for my dad for some time now. They are compassionate, respectful, and patient and treat him with the dignity that he deserves. They have pretty much become part of the family.

SI HomeCare came into our lives at a very stressful time. Right from the first phone call, when they assured me they could help, it was like a huge weight had been lifted. The two aides that came in to take care of my Mother were wonderful.
