Akin Care Senior Services
Especially in times of uncertainty, it’s the team that works together that is best able to be nimble and continue to grow. Akin Care has an unparalleled team of caregivers and office co-workers. The average amount of time a caregiver has been with us is 4.3 years. We don’t have a “revolving door” of caregivers, but a seasoned team in whom we invest. Nearly 25 percent of our caregivers are Certified Dementia Practitioners, a prestigious certification, and that number is growing. We know and appreciate our caregivers which enables us to provide a good fit between caregiver and client. Our goal is to be match makers not simply schedulers trying to fit client and caregiver schedules together. We are happy to speak with you and your family anytime. We are a home care company and a community resource. Feel free to call and ask us your questions. We are here for you. We’ve got you covered. (609) 450-8877.

A need for engagement, a need for peace of mind, now is the time for memory care.
Over the last year, family members caring for a loved one with dementia have found that without access to their normal support systems, the care needed is often more than they are able to provide. While moving into memory care during a pandemic could be perceived as a challenging decision, now could be the smartest time to make that move. Safe Socialization and Engagement: Memory care allows for safe opportunities for engagement, continued learning, entertainment, and the ability for residents to move about with confidence. Something most aren’t able to do at home. S a fe t y P r o to c o l s a n d Vaccines : Our renowned par t ner sh ip w it h phys i cians from Johns Hopkins affords us weekly updates on COVID-19 research, expert reviews of our existing safety protocols, and help in planning vaccine clinics for our residents and associates, which began earlier this week. Quality of Life and Peace of Mind: Families who have m a d e t h e t r a n s it i on to memor y care during the pandemic wish they made the decision sooner when they see their loved ones
thriving and have the opportunity to just be the spouse or child again. For more information on Memory Care the Artis Way, go to TheAr tisWay.com / TownTopics.
