What Services Do Home Caregivers Offer?
As time passes, finding quality care for our aging family members becomes even more important. Whether your relative needs are medical in nature or simple assistance with everyday tasks, we all want our loved ones to be taken care of with the utmost respect; never compromising their peace of mind or quality of life. For many of us, home healthcare has been the safest way to do this. Thanks to the amazing work that home caregivers provide, this assistance is now available to everyone.
These compassionate professionals are routinely certified and rigorously screened in order to guarantee the patient’s safety and the caregiver’s ability to provide exceptional care and service. They are ready and willing to work with you and your family to develop a specific, custom plan that meets the needs of all parties involved.
Services
Alzheimer’s Care
For those suffering from Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia, a new environment can be beyond unsettling. Sending a family member to a nursing home or assisted-living facility is sometimes not an option. Having a home caregiver visit these patients in their own homes allows the family member to feel more comfortable and at ease.
Also, if you are the current family caregiver and struggling to meet the needs of a loved one who is currently suffering from Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia, having a Home Caregiver visit allows you time to rest and recharge so that you are able to take care of yourself and not just your family member.
Assisted Living Residents
Some people, especially as they get older, find that maintaining a sense of freedom and independence is immensely important in their day-to-day lives. For these people, an assisted living facility is the perfect match. But what if the staff at the assisted living facility are unable to meet each and every need of your loved one? A home caregiver is able to work alongside assisted living staff in order to sustain a sense of normalcy for any and all types of care.
Companion Sitter
Having a companion, whether they are a friend, family member, or carer, helps promote an active mind and can assist in avoiding social isolation. Someone there to engage in conversation with encourages mental stimulation as well as overall positivity. Home Caregivers are able to serve as a companion for your loved ones. Whether they need help with remembering their medication regimen, picking up groceries, or simply wanting someone to talk to, home caregivers are there around the clock so that no one ever feels alone.
Housekeeping
Nothing beats the comfort of home – unless that home is untidy or perhaps not as organized as you would like. Yes, home caregivers even have this covered. This sort of service covers all aspects of the family member’s home, everything from washing dishes to light housekeeping to extensive meal planning and/or preparation.
Personal Care
It takes a special type of individual to have the professionalism as well as the gentle compassion needed to work in senior care. Supportive services such as these must act in the utmost respectful and confidential manner, ensuring that all patients maintain their dignity and peace of mind. Home Caregivers are able to assist in all matters of bathing, grooming, dressing, as well as other daily activities.
Respite/Short-term Care
Sometimes we get busy; work or family demands traveling and we become unavailable to those who need us. Finding someone we trust to be there for our loved ones when we are unable to can be a formidable task, to say the least. Home Caregivers are able to fill in whenever and wherever they are needed, allowing you to take that much-needed vacation or last-minute business trip.
Transportation
There is undoubtedly a loss of freedom upon being unable to drive once reaching a certain age. Public transit can become inconsistent and stressful in matters of awkward social situations or harsh weather conditions. Calling a ride share service can be convenient but also dangerous. Home Caregivers are able to reliably and, most importantly, safely transport your loved ones to wherever their desired destination may be.
