Senior Home Companion
Elderly companionship is vital to health and longevity. Have a caring professional come to your home and brighten your loved one’s day with conversation and laughter. Enjoying a friend in challenging times halves your troubles and doubles the joy of good times.
Elderly Personal Care
Imagine the blessing of having private senior care for your aging family member. Sometimes even simple personal hygiene tasks like brushing one’s teeth, bathing, or putting on a fresh change of clothes can be difficult. Get help with these routines.
Dementia & Alzheimer's Care
Cognitive decline is a common challenge as we age. It can be one of the most frustrating experiences compounded in isolation. Have an understanding, patient caregiver stimulate your loved one with laughter, conversation, and engaging encouragement.
Rides, Errands & Shopping
No one grows up dreaming of being a shut-in. With certified caregivers, one can extend personal freedom throughout the golden years. When your retired relative goes to bed at night they think of the day ahead. Now, they can accomplish their checklist.
Healthy Meal Preparation
When older people live alone it’s easy for them just to grab junk food and processed foods to just get by. Our caregivers can cook nutritious tasty food providing a well-balanced diet. Many times it inspires sharing recipes from earlier times in life.
Wheelchair & Walker Assistance
Our health care aides are trained in helping non-ambulatory patients if they need assistance. Whether someone is recovering from an injury or they have a long-term disability making it difficult to walk, our senior care assistants will be there to help.
Housekeeping & Routine Chores
Our senior healthcare workers can do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum, sweep, mop, tidy up a bathroom, and put leftovers in the refrigerator. If friends or family pop in unannounced, they will always find a welcoming home in order.
Medication & Appointment Help
It’s easy for anyone to forget to take medications or get them confused. Our certified CNAs and HHAs will take the guesswork out of taking medicine or recalling a doctor’s appointment. Medical reminders give you peace of mind when you are away.
Help with TV & Digital Devices
Our aging population didn’t grow up with the Internet or smartphones, but our relatives can still enjoy many of the latest technologies with a little help. If your family member seeks entertainment or communication, we’ll be there to assist them.
Excercise Support
Staying active after retirement or an accident can boost one’s spirits and speed healing. Sunlight produces vitamin D which bolsters one’s immune system and supports mental health. Give your loved one the gift of an encouraging partner in health & well being.
