Our Home Care Services

Homemaking, companionship and personal care

Sometimes all that’s needed is a little help around the house. Maybe the person you care for no longer drives. Perhaps a spouse has recently passed on and your relative now needs help with cooking or laundry or other household tasks. Or it could be that your loved one is becoming isolated and simply needs some companionship to get out and start engaging with social activities. We can help!

• Meal preparation
• Grocery shopping and errands
• Light housekeeping
• Laundry
• Transportation
• Assistance with light exercise and outdoor activity
• Companionship and community engagement

For others there is a need for more personal care assistance such as

• Bathing, dressing and grooming
• Medication reminders
• Toileting and incontinence care
• Assisting with walking and transferring from bed to wheelchair
• Safety and fall prevention

Our caregivers are fully trained, warm, caring and professional.

Memory loss

Caring for a person with a memory loss condition, such as Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia or Lewy body dementia or Parkinson’s dementia, requires special skill and understanding. All of our caregivers are trained to communicate in ways that can be easily understood and preserve the dignity of the person with memory loss. In addition to communication skills, our caregivers know how to:

• Provide appropriate stimulation
• Support abilities that your loved one still has
• Create a soothing, dementia-friendly environment
• Identify and avoid triggers for emotional outbursts
• Employ redirection techniques to calm distressing reactions
• Strategize to address sundowning
• Protect against wandering

Transition care

If your loved one is getting discharged from the hospital or a skilled nursing facility, very likely they will need extra help the first few days or weeks of recovery at home. From assisting with meal preparation and reminding about medications, to taking them to follow-up appointments, our caregivers can help your relative settle back in safely while they recover.

Respite care (Take a break!)

In need of a vacation? Time to replenish your own well? It’s not selfish to take breaks. It’s essential. You can hire our caregivers to come check in and help your relative while you get away for some well-deserved R & R. You rest easier knowing that your loved one is being well cared for. We’ve got your back!

24/7 home care

If the person you care for needs around the clock coverage, we can arrange for shifts that make sure they have a trained and caring individual available at all times. This is popular for clients with moderate- to advanced dementia, and for those who can no longer be safely left alone. To provide your relative with consistency, we do our best to minimize the number of different caregivers that come during the week. We want your loved one to feel comfortable and at ease.

End-of-life support

Needs increase when a loved one is nearing the end of life. If your relative is on hospice, the hospice team handles the medical side — nursing visits, medications and managing symptoms. But your loved one still needs someone with them between those visits, often around the clock. Our caregivers take care of the everyday physical care and comfort, understand the sensitivities surrounding the end of life, and let the hospice team know about any changes they notice. This is a stressful time for everyone in the family, including you! Let us be there to handle the physical care needs so you can focus on visiting and making positive memories together.
