I would recommend Advanced Senior Support to any senior citizen needing assistance in their home. -Frances R., Delaware
I am pleased with the nursing and physical therapy I have received through Advanced Senior Support. They have cared for me several months now since I returned home from the nursing home and I find them to be caring professionals who take extra time to brighten my day with each visit. -Margaret Y., Delaware
My son had a stroke and suffers from multiple serious health issues. During our stay at the hospital a nurse recommended the services of Advanced Senior Support. I cannot say enough about what this agency has done for us. We have been benefiting from nursing, physical & occupational therapy, and the services of a wonderful home health aide. All of the services are top-notch, but I have to say, the physical therapist is a man. He has been an inspiration to my son and I. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. -Alexa M., Columbus
Thank you for your wonderful care and help with my Mother over the last 14 months. You have made a difficult situation easier with your wonderful staff. The home PT providers (Dr. Ravin and Dr. Jake), Noelle, (our Home Care Assistant), and the various RNs and other assessors. were so kind and helpful. -Christine G., Westerville
This agency provides home health care and nursing care for my sister and she loves her care giver and nurse(s). I feel very confident in their work and at ease knowing she is getting great care. Have used them 4 plus years. -Kate S., Delaware
I am reviewing Advanced Senior Support as I would a restaurant. They have earned a 5 STAR with Diamond. The entire staff has been outstanding. As seniors, my wife and I receive housecleaning, nursing and therapy care. Individuals within each group have been better than good. Thank you Ron (nursing), Josh (scheduling), Lisa (nursing), Yolanda (therapy), Amy ( occupational), Ravin (physical) and Rossi (house cleaning). Each of these named individuals has performed their duties "above and beyond" expectations and have made our days brighter and more productive. Again, Thanks -Allen M., Powell
Advanced Senior Support goes beyond traditional home health care via our state of the art Mobile Therapy Program. Recovery is often possible at home.

This is one of our most sought after programs and the positive feedback from our clients is overwhelming.

The program is overseen by a Board Certified Orthopedic Physical Therapist. Our therapists love what they do and enjoy seeing their patients’ transformations.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with or suspect you might be suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) or other forms of dementia, Advanced Senior Support can help!We understand that you may be anxious or unsure about how to deal with memory loss, changes in thought patterns, mood swings, and the language difficulties that you may experience. But we want you to know that many seniors are successful in safely managing AD and other forms of dementia for long periods of time in the comfort and safety of their homes. You will need help and Advanced Senior Support can provide the education & assistance needed to ease you through this trying time.
AD is a degenerative condition of the brain that causes progressive (on-going) loss of mental functions such as thought, memory, and language. AD progresses in three stages (mild, moderate & severe) over an average time period of 8-10 years after initial diagnosis. But AD does not affect everyone the same and the progression and longevity of the disease variesfrom patient to patient. And while there is not yet a cure for AD, there is still much that can be done to insure quality of life.
Many of the signs & symptoms of AD relate to memory loss ranging from forgetting recently learned information like a name or phone number in the early stages to not being able to recognize close family members in the later stages. Other signs & symptoms include but are not limited to:
● misplacing or losing things more than usual ● having trouble identifying common items ● mood swings ● depression ● forgetting to bath or shower ● putting things away in places where they don’t belong ● difficulty performing familiar tasks ● problems with abstract thinking ● loss of interest or initiative ● changes in personality ● disorientation as to time and place ● language impairment
● wandering
It is important to note that some memory loss is expected as we age. Normal aging might cause you to forget where you left your keys whereas seniors suffering from AD or dementia might forget how to use their keys. If you are unsure about what you or a loved one is experiencing, we encourage you talk to other family members about your concerns and consult a doctor for a professional opinion.
