Compassionate Senior Care Services in Fort Smith, Van Buren, Alma and Mountainburg

Senior care provides the assistance older adults need to age with comfort and dignity. There are a variety of options, depending on one’s needs, including in-home care services, adult day programs, independent or assisted living communities and nursing home care, as well as memory care facilities that encompass different levels of senior care.

The cost for senior care services depends on many factors, including what type of care is needed, for how long and where services will be provided. Request a personalized price quote from the local FirstLight office near you.

The most common way to pay for senior home care is private pay. But certain senior care services may be covered by insurance benefits, such as long-term care, veterans benefits such as Aid & Attendance, government programs like Medicaid and some Medicare Advantage plans.

Some of the biggest signs that someone may need assistance at home include a change in bathing habits or personal hygiene, mobility issues or falls, decline in vision or hearing, unexplained weight loss or gain, forgetfulness or memory issues, missed medical appointments or loneliness. Fill out the contact form on our website if you’d like to inquire about whether your loved one could benefit from in-home senior care.

FirstLight caregivers can assist clients with tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, bathing, going to the restroom, walking or climbing stairs, getting in/out of bed or a vehicle, eating or drinking. They can also help with cleaning, laundry, organizing bills, grocery shopping, meal preparation, picking up prescriptions and taking medication on time, traveling to doctor’s appointments, attending social events and more.

Allowing clients to age in their home rather than an assisted living facility provides the chance to maintain comfort, dignity and independence. In addition, with FirstLight, clients find joy in the genuine relationships that are forged during senior care. Request a personalized price quote today to get started.
