Care Solutions - Certified Nursing Assistants
Senior’s First Choice is the perfect solution for seniors who aren’t ready to leave their homes to live with relatives or move into an institutional setting, but due to illness or chronic conditions they may require some support to remain at home and receive proper in-home care. We improve the quality of life by providing compassionate, one-on-one care in the comfort of your own home. Many clients also use our services to provide additional care for their loved ones in Assisted Living Facilities, Hospitals or Nursing Homes.
Highly qualified and trained caregivers and CNA’s (Certified Nursing Assistant) are ready to help you and your loved ones with a variety of daily activities. All of our services for seniors are non-medical in nature.
We offer additional peace of mind for the families by using a telephony time system that automatically alerts us if a caregiver does not arrive at your loved one’s on time. This also insures that you pay only for the time that a caregiver is caring for your loved one.
There are many reasons families need additional care for the elderly, but the most common are:
- Providing for their safety
- Meal planning and preparation
- Assistance with personal care
- Medication reminders
- Companionship

How hourly care works:
Most of our clients do not require live-in care. Many use our caregivers on an hourly basis, for example, just during the night, or just on the weekends, or just for four hours a day. Senior’s First Choice is flexible and is happy to provide care, whenever and wherever needed for as little as 4 hours per day up to 24 hours per day.
How live-in care works:
A live-in caregiver stays in the home 24 hours a day, and is available to assist morning, noon and night. If we provide live-in care for 7 days a week, we assign a primary caregiver and a back-up caregiver to the client. The primary caregiver provides care for 4-5 days a week, and the back-up caregiver takes over for the remainder of the week.
