Written By: Gaia Veenis

There are many unsung heroes in the world of elderly care. Sherman Oaks, CA families regularly benefit from home help heroes who humbly improve the lives of their older loved ones with a friendly face and a helpful pair of hands. Home Instead of Sherman Oaks, Studio City, and surrounding areas employs a team of trained, screened, and bonded CAREGivers who are ready to take on many roles in the lives of local seniors. That includes acting as home helpers when family caregivers are not able to be there. With a wide range of elder services, Sherman Oaks, CA families can rely on Home Instead to care for their loved ones as they continue aging in the comfort and dignity of their homes. Just consider some of the ways home helpers can improve the lives of seniors and their families in the Sherman Oaks area. 

Maintaining a Clean Home to Live In

There are many reasons why it becomes more difficult for older people to maintain a clean home, such as memory problems and various elderly health conditions. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors may rely on family members to help out when they are no longer able to maintain a clean home like they used to, but this arrangement can become difficult to maintain. Family members often have their own homes to maintain on top of maintaining their careers, caring for children, and other obligations. Home Instead’s team of CAREGivers can help out by providing a variety of light housekeeping duties including doing laundry, folding clothes, washing and putting away dishes, vacuuming, dusting, and picking up around the home.

Nutritious Meals Throughout the Day

Maintaining a nutritious diet is one of the most important aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Enjoying familiar recipes and eating tasty foods are also essential components of a happy life. Home Instead’s CAREGivers can help plan meals for the week, research favorite recipes, help discover healthy new recipes, prepare grocery lists, accompany seniors on shopping trips (or take care of the shopping for them), and cook the meals in the comfort of seniors’ homes. During mealtime, CAREGivers can also set the table to create a pleasant environment, join in for a sociable dining experience, and clean up afterwards. Home Instead’s nutrition and mealtime services can include any or all of the following: 

  • Meal Planning
  • Recipe Research
  • Grocery List Preparation
  • Grocery Shopping
  • Cooking
  • Companionship
