Hamilton, NJ (November 18, 2008)-  Making the choice to employ home care services for a loved one or choosing home care services for oneself is not often an easy decision. Liberty Healthcare Services (Liberty), a leading full-service homecare and supplemental staffing agency in South Jersey for live-in and companion care since 2002, shares some important tips to keep in mind.

Liberty Healthcare Services advises taking the following three steps:

• First, decide what type of care is needed or is preferred- either live-in home care for clients requiring round the clock assistance with daily activities or part-time companion care.
• Second is researching agencies in the region that offer these services and can provide solid references. A doctor may also be able to provide useful recommendations and should preferably be consulted. When researching an agency, it is critical to check on the screening process of the caregivers; ensuring one can fully trust and feel comfortable around caregivers is paramount.
• Third, see if a visit to the facility can be arranged or a free consultation can be provided, which helps clients get to know an agency. Having a prepared list of questions to ask can be helpful at this time.

“For a majority of patients, the most important element is remaining comfortably at home and maintaining a level of independence while retaining dignity and quality of life,” explains Kevin Zepp, President of Liberty Healthcare Services. “Other aspects that can come into play are the feeling of not wanting to be a burden to loved ones or guilt by family members whose demanding schedules don’t allow for the time to do as much as they would like. Our job is to put our patients’ mind at ease while providing companionship and care by medical experts.”

Liberty’s commitment to delivering dependable, quality healthcare to the community is well known within the region. CAHC accredited and a member of the NPDA, Liberty Healthcare Services has a comprehensive list of service offerings that include:

• Home Health Aide Services that facilitate daily activities such as bathing, physical exercises and ambulation, all under RN supervision.
• Homemaker/Companionship Services that range from assistance with housekeeping and meal preparation to activities such as planning outings, groceries, recreation activities and pet care.

Under Kevin Zepp’s watchful eye, every caregiver is carefully screened and hand selected to ensure that clients always receive the highest quality of care possible. The long list of glowing references for Liberty Healthcare Services undoubtedly prove Zepp’s hard work and dedication are paying off.
