Home care services allow familiarity for elderly

The home is a place where countless memories are made with family and friends, but as a person gets older, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain that beloved property. Well-Being Total Home Care, located at 42 Main St., Suite 9 in Leominster, helps to ensure that the elderly and others in need get the services necessary to be able to stay in their homes for as long as possible. ffi Owner Keith Lanzilotti believes that Well-Being Total Home Care is part of a growing trend of accommodating the elderly and special needs individuals in their own homes by offering companionship, handyman services, and renovating their homes to meet their specific requirements. ffi Today there is so much exposure to it because as the population ages and remains healthy seniors are living active lives. Their children are now caring for their parents and want to help them remain happy and that often means staying in their own homes, he said. ffi Besides the added benefit of being more cost effective than moving into an assisted living facility, Lanzilotti said that there are additional benefits for people that need particular consideration. ffi For people with Alzheimers Disease, its more important to maintain a comfortable, familiar environment, he said. ffi Staff members of Well-Being Total Home Care provide lawn mowing and snow shoveling services, as well as installation of wheelchair ramps and grab-bars. ffi The professional caregivers of the company go into a persons home and assist them with any task needed around the house, from cleaning and paying bills to changing light bulbs and reminding clients to take their medication. ffi Lanzilotti takes great strides to hire the best people for the job. ffi We hire licensed caregivers that have strong backgrounds with seniors, disabled people and caring for people with Alzheimers disease. By doing that we will strengthen the trust and relationships with area businesses that also work with seniors and disabled, he said. ffi Lanzilotti had the idea for the company in 2011 after his father passed away and he had to witness first hand the pressure that loss put on his mother. ffi My mom was and still is very self-sufficient but needed some help doing the things my dad did for them, said Lanzilotti. ffi He was already beginning to lose interest in his job at high tech company, so he approached his cousin, Rick DiPaoli, a contractor for 30 years about starting a home care agency of their own. After a great deal of research and planning, Well-Being Total Home Care opened in April of 2012. ffi After nearly two years in business, Lanzilotti and DiPaoli hope to be able to continue to grow with the community. ffi The need for these services is growing and we want to be there for the community, Lanzilotti said.
