Our loving and caring caregivers can provide the companion care that you or your loved one may need. Having a loved one that is not able to take care of themselves the same way they used to can be worrisome. We strive to provide that peace of mind that your loved one is safely and compassionately being cared for in their own private home. Our caregivers will not only provider companionship but will also make sure that the client is safe whether it be at home, an outing, doctor’s appointment, shopping or school. We feel that socialization is very important for any age but even more so for the elderly when they are feeling like they cannot perform or complete tasks the same way they used to. We will provide that much needed socialization, assistance and encouragement to always make them feel valued and taken care of.  

We know first hand how difficult and challenging having a loved one with Dementia or Alzheimers can be. In our own family we experienced all of the obstacles it takes to care for someone suffering from either or both of these diseases. In our situation she suffered from both. Although we feel very fortunate that we were able to keep her home with us we always understand that trying to do this alone is nearly impossible to handle while still keeping up with your own life and responsibilities. You can rest assure that our caregivers are highly trained to understand and deliver the best and appropriate care that these diseases require. We not only provide a safe and comforting environment for the patient but we will establish a relationship with the client that entails helping them always feel the most comfort by getting to know what the client enjoys and what the negative triggers are for the person being care for. Our company makes this a very important part of our care plan especially with Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. This can range from their favorite food, music, tv shows, books and just any conversation or activity that can bring them comfort. Both of these diseases cause extreme anxiety, fear and confusion which we strive to eliminate as much as possible by getting to know the client and his or her specific needs. Our care plan for Alzhemiers and Dementia patients will consist of the following but will be adequately adjusted to fit the clients needs and interest. The following are examples of different mental, physical and memory exercises we can incorporate in the care plan apart from the personal care that client will always receive.

• Activity blankets for mental exercises. These blankets consist of zippers, adjusting straps, closing buttons, shoe lace tying and different variations of task to assist with mental and motor health.
• Listen to music that is comforting to the patient. 
• Look over old family photos, read books and newspaper together, crossword puzzles, puzzles and many other variations of these type of mental and memory engagement.
• Painting, coloring, and any craft that they are comfortable and able to do safely. 
• Daily walks indoors or outdoors.
• Daily muscle memory exercises that our caregivers are trained in completing with the client. 

These are just some examples or activities that we incorporate into our care plan but we focus on the needs and likes or each patient individually. The care plan created will be made with the family to ensure that we approach the plan from the start of care in the most successful manner for the clients needs. 

After having any type of surgery whether it be medical, elective or child birth we have experienced caregivers that will provide an extra hand many of us feel like we can use.

That transition can many times  require professional assistance once at home so that the healing and recovery process can be successful. We will follow the discharge and recovery plan provided by the provider of care or rehabilitation center and assure that you or your loved one can follow the plan accordingly for optimal recovery and rehabilitation results. These services provided include but are no limited to the following:

So many times when a loved one becomes ill or unable to care for themselves on their own it is many times our first reaction to jump in and care for them.   Caring for someone is a beautiful and fulling part of life but can also become very overwhelming and exhausting when you do not have time to take a break and care for yourself. Our professional and trained care givers can be there for you so that much needed break can take place. Whether it is a couple hours a day or week the time for you will reduce mental and physical stress and helps with feeling burnt out. Allowing yourself to recharge and refresh will help you provide the best care for your loved one and still feel like you are  taking care of yourself. We provide the peace of mind that you need in order to disconnect and recharge.
