Dr. Jerisa Berry Launches In-Home Care Business, Home Helpers & Direct Link of Palm Beach

PALM BEACH, Fla. - Feb. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Dr. Jerisa Berry has committed her life to helping those in need and, as a physician certified in emergency and family medicine, she sees the challenges many seniors and family members face when it comes time to discuss additional care. Now Berry is looking forward to providing a better option as the owner of Home Helpers & Direct Link of Palm Beach.

Home Helpers is the nation’s leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and individuals needing recuperative and continuing assistance. Direct Link is its proprietary line of 24/7 medical alert systems, including a fall sensor and an automated medication dispenser. Home Helpers and Direct Link of Palm Beach serves Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Palm Beach Island, Lake Worth, Boca Raton, Greenacres, West Palm Beach and the surrounding communities.

“As a doctor, especially in emergency medicine, I see many patients who need ongoing care or help at home, but, for many families, figuring out how to provide that care can be tough. When a family member wants to be at home rather than in assisted living or in a nursing home, Home Helpers and Direct Link can provide the additional care needed to be healthy, comfortable and safe,” Berry said.

In addition to her work in emergency and family medicine, Berry has training and experience working with depression in the elderly. She also has had success in business working with various nursing homes. When she decided to open her own business, in-home care struck a personal chord.

“In the few years before my grandfather's death, my mom and I had to provide 24-hour live in caregiver care. He had always been independent and it took strategy to help him see that he needed assistance. Although it was challenging to find the perfect caregivers, we were successful. I am looking forward to using my experience to make certain that other families are matched with the right caregivers.  Even more so, as a physician, I make myself an available resource for families caring for their aging loved one,” Berry said.

Home Helpers and Direct Link offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person’s individual needs. Services offered include personal care such as grooming, bathing, ambulation, medication management and care management as well as respite care, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, companionship and transportation.

With Home Helpers, each individual client receives services tailored to meet their specific needs by caregivers who become an extension of their family. Home Helpers’ full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety and comfort of their own homes. In addition to the service Home Helpers provides, Berry will be providing Direct Link to all of her clients.

“Direct Link is a vital part of what we do and I choose to offer it at no additional cost to my clients. My grandfather fell and broke his hip and it was high tech systems like Direct Link that assisted him in getting rapid help,” Berry said.
