The certified nursing assistants at HomeCare Advantage are licensed in the state of Rhode Island to provide long-term home care to patients who are unable to complete personal care or other daily activities. Our main goal for long-term care patients living with a chronic illness or disability is to improve comfort at home, prevent complications, and reduce hospitalizations.
Included in the areas that we provide long-term care services are patients with memory loss, confusion, disorientation, and cognitive impairment, which can often be the result of Alzheimer’s disease.
