Friendly & Supportive Conversation
Seniors often long to reminisce—to relive happy memories, affirm who they are, or gain insights about their life. When your senior parent longs to reminisce about life experiences, favorite personal stories or grandchildren, an in-home companion caregiver can be there as a friendly and attentive listener.
Encourage Light Exercise
We all know that exercise is a key to good health, but it may especially be true for seniors. By participating in activities seniors enjoy, seniors can gain greater mobility, quality of life and independence. Nevertheless, they still may need a little motivation. Our senior companions can accompany your family member on walks and encourage regular light exercise.
Plan & Encourage Social Activities
Staying active and maintaining a level of independence are important for the health and happiness of your senior parent. Our home companions, who are here to make the best of every moment, help plan visits with family and friends, play dates with children, trips to the zoo, shopping sprees, crafts and scrapbooking, or even help scheduling vacations.
Medical Appointment Assistance
Missing doctor’s appointments and difficulties with following doctor’s orders can take a serious toll on an aging parent’s health. These problems may be signs that an aging parent is suffering from memory loss or needs senior homecare transportation services. Our in-home caregiver can help your aging parent schedule and keep medical appointments as well as follow doctor’s orders.
Personal Hygiene Assistance
Personal hygiene cleanses the body and soothes the mind. Our in-home caregivers offer the personal assistance your aged or disabled loved one needs to continue the self-care that makes them feel clean and refreshed. This includes personal appearance assistance.
Incidental Transportation
For your aging parent, getting to an appointment can leave them feeling confused, frightened or unable to negotiate the transfer. It’s reassuring to know Aging at Home provides senior home care transportation assistance. Our caregivers can help with transportation and accompany your senior parent to their appointments.
Errand & Shopping Services
Picking up prescriptions. Going grocery shopping. Standing in line at the post office. Returning an overdue library book. Taking the car in for an oil change. Errands can turn into a never-ending list of chores that can overwhelm an aging parent, especially one with transportation problems. Our caregivers can provide senior homecare errand help–while your parent enjoys time in the garden or reading a good book.
Mealtime Feeding Assistance
Unintentional weight loss affects more than a quarter of people over age 65. It may be a signal that they need home care meals or feeding assistance—all services our caregivers provide. In fact, research shows that feeding assistance, either during or between meals, can improve a senior’s daily fluid and food consumption needed to maintain a healthy weight.
Light Housekeeping
When your aging or disabled loved one lives in a clean and organized home, they enjoy greater feelings of well-being—and even good health. We make it possible for your aging parent or disabled family member to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a clean and uncluttered home while leaving all the dirty work to us. This includes kitchen and bathroom cleaning and organization, laundry and ironing, and changing the linens.
