At Potters Klay Home Health Care Agency, we believe seniors should stay safe and happy at home. We have helped families in Pittsburgh for more than 15 years. We know small things can make a big difference. Here, we will explain how our care helps seniors live well at home. The terms are straightforward, so anyone can understand them.

Personalized Home Care

We give care that fits each person. No two seniors are the same. We listen first. Then we make a plan just for them. Some people need help with bathing. Some need help with cooking. Some need friends to talk to. We do all these things with kindness.

Help With Daily Life

Daily tasks can be hard as we get older. Our caregivers help with chores that keep a home safe and clean. We do light housekeeping and laundry. We help with meal preparation and feeding if needed. We help with getting dressed and brushing teeth. These small tasks help seniors keep their dignity and feel good each day.

Safety and Comfort

Staying at home is safe when the right help is there. We check the home for trip hazards. We make sure the lights, floors and furniture are safe. Our caregivers help with safe movement. We can stand next to someone when they walk. We make sure the senior eats and drinks enough. This care reduces falls and other problems.

Companionship and Joy

Loneliness can make a person feel sad. Our caregivers spend time talking and laughing with seniors. We play games, read books, or look at photos together. Companionship helps mood and memory. It gives purpose to the day. A friendly visit can brighten a whole week.

Care for Memory Problems

We help seniors who have dementia or memory loss. Our caregivers know gentle ways to guide and calm. We use simple routines. We remind them about food, medicine and appointments. We help families learn how to speak kindly and clearly. This care makes hard days easier to handle.

Health Support and Therapy

We work with nurses and therapists when needed. If a senior needs physical therapy or wound care, we help at home. We help track medicine and signs of illness. Our team talks with doctors and family. This helps catch small problems before they grow.

Veteran In-Home Care

We are proud to serve veterans. Veterans may have special needs and strong feelings about their service. We treat them with great respect. We help with daily living and with papers for VA benefits if the family wants. Our caregivers listen to stories and give steady, caring support.

Support for Families

Families often live far away or are very busy. We act like a pair of extra hands and a pair of extra eyes. We give families updates. We share what we see and what we do. Families feel peace of mind when they know a trusted caregiver is there. We also teach family members how to help in a safe way.

Trained and Caring Staff

Our caregivers are trained and kind. We teach them how to give personal care, how to help with memory issues and how to be a friend. We check their work and ask for feedback. Good training keeps seniors safe and happy.

Keeping Independence

We help seniors keep control of their lives. We do the tasks they ask for. We teach them how to do things if they can. We help them go to the park, visit friends, or enjoy a hobby. This keeps life meaningful and full of small joys.

How We Keep Care Simple

We use a clear plan for each senior. The plan has short goals. We set simple tasks for each visit. This keeps care steady. It helps families see progress. It helps seniors feel secure.

Simple Tips for Families

If you care for a senior at home, try these easy ideas:
