Homemaking Services
Homemaking
Our homemaking services are focused on addressing the emotional needs of patients and their families in order to ensure they don’t feel isolated, which can lead to depression. Homemaking services can range from playing games or meal preparation to assistance with light housekeeping and personal hygiene.
Meal Preparation
Our meal preparation services involve having a caregiver prepare and cook food in the patients’ homes. Caregivers can work with patients and their families to create an appropriate meal plan, considering all dietary restrictions, and can take care of tasks like grocery shopping and cleaning as part of the service.
Personal Hygiene
Our personal hygiene services include a number of different activities related to patients and their families’ general self-care such as: washing or bathing, cleansing themselves after using the toilet, taking proper care of the mouth, grooming and dressing and keeping clothing clean.
Light Housekeeping
Our light housekeeping services include routine activities that keep patients and their families’ homes clean and safe. In addition to everyday cleaning services, such as dusting, vacuuming, and emptying the trash, our light housekeeping services include tasks like watering plants, picking up clutter, tending to laundry, and organizing closets.
Essential Errands
Our essential errand service allows patients and their families to accomplish tasks that they otherwise may not have been able to. Essential errands include tasks such as: grocery shopping, dry cleaning or medication pickup, delivering a package, or other essential tasks that are related to the patients’ health and well-being.
Respite Care
Our respite care provides short-term relief for the primary caregivers of patients and their families by temporarily taking over caregiving duties, giving the primary caregiver some time for themselves. Our respite care services can be regularly scheduled or provided as the need arises.
