Companion
Home Care of Long Island recognizes the fact that certain illnesses
and afflictions are more common to seniors. Therefore, we provide
special training to our caregivers on communicating with persons
who have Alzheimer’s and related Dementia, Hearing Loss and
Aphasia, which ensures a higher level of care for our clients.
If
nursing or full home healthcare services become necessary, we can
refer you to an appropriate home health care agency.
