We are licensed, Medicaid Approved, Insured, Bonded, and JCAHO Certified; accepting all private insurance policies

Personal care is an indispensable part of our lives. It is hard to imagine a life where a person does not eat, sleep, bathe, wash or clean, or move around. Under normal circumstances, these activities grow so much into our daily lifestyle that sometimes we happen to take them for granted. However, there are certain situations where a person becomes immobile that he becomes completely unable to provide personal care to himself. They end up needing help from other people to ensure that their personal care routine is followed deligently.

There may be many situations in life that can result in disabling a person partially or completely. This unfortunate situation may happen owing to various diseases that may take place in later years, or, a person may just be born with incorrigible defects or disorders that may prevent him from taking care of himself. Usually it is the elderly who get dependent on others (near and dear ones) for their personal care routine. However, this service can also be provided by professional skilled nurses especially in cases when diseases or, disorders are associated.

At Scarlet Haven, we understand the physical and mental condition that the patients suffer when they call for personal care professionals. Our trained and certified professionals possess the skills and knowledge about how to handle patients depending upon their age, medical conditions, psychological stability and mobility. It is necessary to remember that feeding, cleaning, washing and administering medication to someone who happens to be immobile or disabled is not an easy task. Personal care happens to be a very sensitive matter and needs to be handled not only with expertise but also by gaining the trust of the patient.  This is the driving force behind our personal care professional  from which many have already benefited.
