Caregivers and Companionship
Sometimes, a friendly face is all it takes to brighten someone’s day. This service is the perfect option for anyone who has recently lost a spouse, friend, or is struggling with loneliness. It can also be a great option for anyone who has memory loss and could benefit from light supervision. Oftentimes, companion and conversation services also come with meal preparation services.
In-Home Recovery
If your loved one has recently suffered a stroke or other health emergency, in-home rehabilitation services can help them recover. This service includes physical therapy, speech therapy, or muscle rehabilitation. Regardless of what their rehabilitation journey looks like, in-home recovery services can help.
Housekeeping and Laundry
For assistance completing daily, weekly, or monthly chores, consider consulting a housekeeping and laundry service. This in-home service can help with routine housekeeping such as washing dishes, vacuuming, laundry, dusting, and changing the bed sheets. Housekeeping services can help alleviate a lot of the physical strain on your loved one.
Meal Preparation
Another popular in-home health service is meal preparation. Meals are often prepared during daily visits. This service ensures that your loved one has plenty of healthy and delicious meals to eat.
Incontinence Care and Personal Hygiene
If your loved one needs daily care with bathing, toileting, dressing, and grooming, this is the service for them. In-home incontinence care and personal hygiene services can help them feel fresh and confident.
Medication Reminders
Sometimes it can be challenging to stay on top of medication. That’s where medication reminders come in. Caregivers will monitor adherence to medication timing and dosages to ensure that your loved one is staying on track.
Errand Service and Shopping
For many people, it can be difficult to get out, especially after an injury or medical emergency. When you select errand and shopping services for your loved one, you can ensure that their errands are run and their weekly shopping is completed.
