Home Help for Seniors

What Are the Benefits of In-Home Senior Help Services?

Home care services offer benefits beyond what the eye can see. It begins with sitting down and talking with the individual in need of support. We get to know the person’s interests, history, likes and dislikes, and personality; because each person is so much more than the challenges they are facing.

Once we know the person on a more in-depth level, we can select the most compatible caregiver for a fast and lasting bond between the two. This social aspect of home help for seniors is invaluable.

What Can I Expect From Professional Help Around the House for Seniors?

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to in-home care! Each person is unique, and the services we offer are highly customized to the individual. We work with you to create a plan of care to outline which types of services the caregiver can provide to make each day the best it can be based on your particular circumstances. For instance, your caregiver can:

• Plan and prepare meals, according to any dietary restrictions and just the way you like them
• Assist with light housekeeping tasks and laundry
• Help with personal hygiene needs such as baths/showers, getting dressed, etc.
• Provide transportation and accompaniment to medical appointments and fun outings
• Run errands such as grocery shopping or picking up prescriptions
• Offer medication reminders
• Provide motivation and encouragement to stay physically active
• Engage in enjoyable activities: conversations, reminiscing, puzzles, games, crafts, hobbies, etc.
• Specialized memory care and activities
• And much more

Why Is Home Care the Best Care?

If you’re unfamiliar with home care services, you may think that a move to a nursing home or assisted living facility is inevitable for older adults. Yet home care is very often a viable and preferred alternative. In-home care empowers older adults to continue to live in the homes they’ve established and enjoyed over the years. It means remaining in control of all of life’s daily decisions and choices, in the environment that is most comfortable and familiar.
