Perry Lutheran Home now offering home care and home health services to four-county area

Perry Lutheran Home (PLH) announces its extension of home care and home health services to residents of Dallas, Guthrie, Greene, and Boone counties in central Iowa.

With an extensive background in care services and over six decades of direct care experience, Perry Lutheran Home is ideally positioned to offer home care and home health services. The services are specially designed for the elderly or those with early stage Alzheimer’s or dementia still living at home.

“Home care and home health services provide a level of comfort and care to the loved one’s family that might not live close enough to check in on a regular basis. Making sure mom or dad is eating well, able to take care of the home, and having meaningful interaction with others offers peace of mind instead of worry. Through these services, we become an extension of their family for as long as they are able to live safely at home,” states Kelly Moore, RN, Assisted Living Administrator for Perry Lutheran Home will be directing home care services and staff.

Services are offered within three categories: Companion Care, Personal Service Companion, and Nursing Service Companion. Services that can be provided, but not limited to, include meal preparation, housekeeping, grooming, dressing, companionship, medication management, and wellness checks. Unique services for those experiencing early stage Alzheimer’s or dementia are also offered. Following an in-home assessment, a personalized care plan is put together with the family to cater to the specific needs of each client in terms of frequency and types of services needed.

Perry Lutheran Home is bonded and insured, and all home care staff are screened, trained, and are Certified Dementia Practitioners certified by the National Council of Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP).
