6. Home Safety Evaluations

As adults age and their abilities change, their home may no longer be as safe as it once was. Depending on their physical and mental changes, their home could be full of dangerous situations, such as areas that increase their risk for falling.  At the start of services, a trained professional will come to your home and perform a home safety evaluation.

Our caregivers will become your loved one’s companion by having friendly conversations with them and engaging them in fun activities. They can also play memory games with them to slow down memory loss.

8. Transportation and accompaniment to healthcare appointments

The ability to drive allows one the freedom to get to where they need to go under their own power, whether it be something important like work or a doctor appointment, or for something fun like a family event. However, many seniors may lose their ability to drive because of poor vision or slow reaction time makes it very dangerous. A caregiver can provide errand and transportation services for seniors who have given up driving. Our caregivers will make sure that your senior loved ones do not miss a doctor’s appointment or a family event.

9. Specialized care for the Alzheimer’s or other dementia client

If you have a senior loved one who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and is in need of constant care, it is best for them to receive this care right at home when they feel comfortable. This will help with their mood and avoid any confusion that they may get if they switch their living arrangements.  Our trained caregivers can help your loved one with the personal care they need while also engaging them in mentally stimulating exercises.

10. Compassionate, one-on-one end of life care for clients on Hospice

Planning for the end of life process is a strenuous experience faced by all who are affected.  When a family member is given finite life expectancy, we believe they should be able to keep their dignity and continue to live their days in the calmness of their own home, surrounded by loved ones and receiving proper care.  With a caregiver, each client is given the ability to live and pass, with dignity. Caregivers work with your family and your loved one’s hospice provider to ensure end of life care is provided according to their plan.
