Homemaker Services
The Hand of Grace offers homemaker’s services that help create a safe, clean, and comfortable living environment so your loved one can stay at home, living independently with a greater sense of confidence and security – and with greater peace of mind for you.
Everyone enjoys a clean home, but for the elderly or disabled, even simple housekeeping tasks can become unmanageable. An untidy home can contribute to feelings of depression, isolation, and hopelessness – it can even be dangerous, increasing the risk of injury or illness. And it may also be the first sign your loved one is struggling and needs extra help at home.

Who Receives Habilitation Services?
What is habilitation?What is habilitation? Services that help a person learn, keep, or improve skills and functional abilities that they may not be developing normally. Still not clear? Contrast that with services that help a person improve skills that have been lost after a stroke, head injury, illness, or other cause.
The latter is rehabilitation – regaining lost skills or functioning. Habilitation refers to services for those who may not have ever developed the skill, such as a child who is not talking as expected for his or her age. Adults can also benefit from habilitative services, particularly those with intellectual disabilities or disorders such as cerebral palsy who may benefit from services at different points in their life to address functional abilities. |
Health care services that help an individual
Habilitation focuses on learning. Rehabilitation focuses on re-learning.
