IN-HOME CARE INFORMATION
If you have never needed care for yourself or your loved one before now, you may not know the specifics of what in-home care can offer. Endless Mountains In-Home Solutions, Inc. can help.

Facility Assistance is available to you or your loved one for the unexpected turns life can take. The caregiver can be a familiar and reassuring supporter, whether in a hospital, rehabilitation center, skilled nursing unit, or assisted living facility. Caregivers can aid when family is unable to be there or just for extra support.
RESPITE CARE
Even the most loyal and devoted family caregivers occasionally need a break. Sometimes it’s as simple as not being able to postpone other obligations and commitments, as daily life continues on for the family caregiver. Now your family member can be comfortable while you tend to your commitments or get the rest you need to revitalize yourself. Yet you can still have peace of mind that your loved one is being cared for, at home, until your return.
LIVE IN CARE
Endless Mountains In-Home Solutions, Inc. offers a unique live in service to help provide 24-hour care for individuals that qualify. To be eligible for live in services, clients must be reasonably self-sufficient to require not more than ten hours of actual time worked by the caregiver in each twenty-four hour day. The clients must be able to sleep through the night with few interruptions to the caregiver on duty. This service, which is more economical than an hourly rate, is for those individuals needing an extended amount of in-home care.
