Our Caregiver Services

It is our pleasure to serve adults of all ages, who are in need of care, in the comfort and familiarity of their home or in any setting. Our quality caregivers provide hourly, daily, overnight, and live in services which include: 

• Bathing
• Personal hygiene
• Preserving one's self image by supporting with both dressing and grooming
• Toileting and incontinence care
• Mobility and transfer assistance
• Assistance with ambulation and safe utilization of assistive devices such as canes, walkers, and wheelchairs

Our caregivers perform routine housekeeping activities to consistently maintain a safe and healthy living environment, such as:

• Making/changing beds
• Cleaning the bathroom/bedroom/kitchen
• Dusting open surfaces
• Laundry, ironing, and dry cleaning
• Cleaning floors
• Vacuuming around furniture
• Taking out trash
• Organizing mail and important paperwork
• Assessing safety risks and making simple corrections in the home if needed - from placing a rug on a slippery floor, to recommendations for ambulatory assistance.

For seniors and/or those who have health or mobility issues, preparing a meal can be very difficult. Doing so, however, is key to staying on a regular and balanced diet. Our caregivers offer meal planning and preparation services which include:

• Taking food inventory and making shopping lists or menus
• Preparing and serving nutritious home-cooked meals
• Cleaning up and storing leftover food
• Assistance with meal planning, while ensuring dietary restrictions, if any, as identified in the individual care plan, are followed.

Illness, age-related conditions, arthritis, and disability are some of the few circumstances that prevent patients from caring for themselves and performing routine activities of daily living. Our experienced caregivers assist with daily tasks such as mobility and transfer assistance, personal care, meal preparation, housekeeping, and transportation.

Recovering from home after surgery can limit a client with their daily activities. If a client's recovery does not require medical care but impairs their independence, our caregivers can assist them to a healthy and complete recovery.  

Dementia care services can make care more manageable, less overwhelming, and provide relief and support to those who care for family members with dementia. Our dementia/memory care services include:

• Personal care assistance
• Assistance with ambulation and transfers
• Encouragement to do as much as the client can on their own
• Mental stimulation through conversation and other activities
• Managing changing behaviors
• Maintaining a routine to discourage agitation and outbursts
• Maintaining a safe environment.

For our expectant mothers, we believe that having a supportive and knowledgeable caregiver in the home can positively impact pregnancy bed rest and/or postpartum recovery and reduce any interruptions while the new mom gets the rest and care she needs. Our caregivers can help expectant mothers and new mothers with the following:

• Find comfort and gentle support with mobility and positioning in bed, while on bed rest, or after a C-Section
•  Assist with housekeeping tasks
• Organize and prepare for the new arrival
• Prepare nutritious meals 
• Provide emotional support to the client and family to help keep up normal routines
• Provide other non-medical care needs.

If the primary family caregiver needs a pair of helping hands, our caregivers are prepared to assist. We offer respite care when it is needed for the following:

• Senior care
• Dementia care
• Post-operative care
• Postpartum care
• Companion care
• Around-the-clock care.

Our caregivers provide patient sitter and observation services in hospital settings and other healthcare facilities, which include:

• Providing physical and emotional support, companionship, and supervision to patients
• Assisting patients with basic requests
• Alerting nurses when patients need help or intervention 
• Monitoring vital signs and detecting changes in the condition of patients
• Adhering to hospital/healthcare facility policies and standards
• Refraining from performing medical procedures or any unauthorized actions.

There is a strong element of understanding, compassion, and friendship in companion care. The purpose of companion care is to provide emotional support, company and friendship, and to improve the quality of life. Our dedicated caregivers provide meaningful companion care and reminder services which include: 

• Medication reminders to ensure medication is taken at the proper time
• Other reminder services which include appointments, important dates, and routines
• Social interactions to keep our clients connected to family and friends
• Conversations and gentle reassurance

With our client's safety and well-being as our first priority, our caregivers will assist them to the vehicle, accompany them during every moment of their visit, and get them settled back at home when their trip is complete.
