Home care is personalized elderly assistance with everyday activities around the house such as bathing, cleaning, meal prep and medication reminders. At home caregivers work one-on-one with people at all stages of aging, giving them the opportunity to safely age in place.
Personal care: Personal care involves assisting with daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and hygiene.
Alzheimer’s and dementia care: Our hired caregivers are trained to provide a safe and structured environment, engage in memory-enhancing activities, and address the specific needs of those with cognitive impairments.
Hospice care: We focus on ensuring comfort, providing pain management, and emotional support for the patient and their family during the end-of-life stage.
24-hour care: 24-hour care is an option when a patient needs constant personal home care assistance to ensure their safety. This is often the case for bed-bound people and people who are:
- Recovering from surgery
- Living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia
- Recovering from a stroke, heart attack, or other serious health event
Mobility assistance: We help individuals with limited mobility to move around safely. Caregiver companions may assist with transferring from bed to chair, walking support, and using mobility aids to enhance independence.
Meal Prep: Meal preparation services involve planning and cooking nutritious meals based on dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring proper nutrition.
Transportation: Care Pros help individuals get to medical appointments, run errands, or attend social activities. This is valuable for those with difficulty driving or using public transportation.
Housekeeping: Services include light cleaning and organizing tasks to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment. This may involve tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, and laundry.
Medication reminders: Our Care Pros provide timely reminders for individuals to take their medications as prescribed. This service helps ensure medication adherence and proper management of health conditions.
Chronic illness care: Assistance for individuals with long-term health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or respiratory disorders. We help manage symptoms, monitor health, and coordinate with healthcare professionals.
