Home Care Services
What is Home Care?
Stay at Home Senior Care agrees with Dorothy that “There’s no place like home” and we have found that most seniors have a strong desire to remain in their beloved homes for as long as possible. When our loved ones reach a point that they need regular assistance in order to continue living comfortably at home, they sometimes have a hard time asking for help. Seniors may worry that asking for aid will make it seem as though they can’t handle living independently. However, many seniors can benefit from non-medical assistance with everyday tasks in order to maintain their quality of life, dignity, and independence.
Stay at Home Senior Care considers it a privilege to provide non-medical, compassionate assistance in the form of companionship care, personal care, meal preparation and household duties, dementia care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, hospice care support, transportation and errand assistance, transitional care, respite care, and more.
It is truly an honor to assist seniors and we do so in countless ways. Because care is personalized to suit individual needs, we can address your loved one’s health and wellness concerns in a more effective way. We will customize our services based on your loved one’s needs and desires for care. This allows us to care for elderly and disabled adults who have chronic health concerns such as diabetes, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, limited mobility, memory related illnesses, and more.
How Do I Get Started?
The best way to provide the highest quality level of care requires an initial meeting where family and/or client meet with a Stay at Home Senior Care coordinator. This meeting includes a detailed review of care needed, schedule request (if known), specific requests of family or client, potential household hazards, and any other concerns. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions of Stay at Home Senior Care and it is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you, as well. If you are feeling overwhelmed, we can make recommendations as we have much experience in understanding what works in certain situations.
The following topics are commonly discussed during initial meetings.
- Specific physical needs of you or your loved one with regards to bathing and grooming, dressing, meals and diet, mobility, and incontinence.
- Reviewing schedules involving sleep, eating and medication.
- Specific emotional needs such as social interaction, activities, conversation, appointments, and companionship.
- Specific assistance with homemaking such as preparation of meals, groceries, linens, laundry, and light housekeeping.
- Logistics of schedules, access to the home, documentation, and the details of how to work with scheduling changes.
- If you would like to proceed with care at that time, we would establish a schedule, finalize the care plan, and coordinate a meeting with your caregiver(s).
