Homemaking Services
Supervision of Personal Hygiene
For safety reasons, our caregiver will supervise and provide guidance through the client’s grooming routine to ensure that proper hygiene is maintained.
Meal Preparation
Our staff is happy to prepare a hot or cold, delicious, nutritious meal.
Light Housekeeping
While the client must provide all cleaning supplies, we vacuum, dust, sweep and mop floors. In the bathroom, we clean the sink, showers, tubs, and toilets. As for the kitchen, we can clean the sink and countertops. We also perform every-day tasks such as taking out the trash, straightening up rooms, and organizing closets and drawers.
Laundry
Our caregivers will separate the white and dark clothing and change bed linens as often as requested by client or family members. Please be sure to provide laundry soap and coins if needed.
Errands and Grocery Shopping
Caregivers will shop with or without the client accompanying them. We encourage our clients to go to stores in close proximity to home due to the high cost of gas. We also would like to try to get all the errands completed in the same day if possible so their time can be used efficiently.
Respite or Relief for Family
We can provide assistance so you can run errands, go shopping or the movies, etc. and know that your loved one is home safe with supervision.
Transportation
Caregivers take clients on trips to doctor appointments, day surgery, hairdressers, mall walking (for exercise), etc.
Medication Reminders
Although our caregivers cannot administer medications, they can assist the individual with opening a pre-poured medication container, making certain the client is taking their medications at the time they are due.
Activities and Companionship
Whether it is with cards, board games, puzzles, having a meal together, or walking outside, our caregivers can help our clients stay active in mind, body, and spirit.
Hospital or Nursing Home Supervision
Our caregivers can provide comfort and companionship to an individual during their stay in the hospital or facility. It is a nice way to have moral support when a family member cannot be there.
Special Events or Family Outings
Our caregivers can escort your loved one to an event so you can enjoy the festivities knowing they are being cared for.
Home Care Excellence
We offer homemaking services, personal care services, and private-duty nursing and physical therapy. Contact us to learn more about how we can address your unique needs.
Personal Care Services (Home Care Aide)
Bathing
Our certified, trained staff can assist the client into the shower, washing areas that cannot be reached, or provide a sponge bath on days they just can’t get out of bed.
Transferring and Positioning
Our staff assists in moving a client from their bed into a wheelchair or bedside chair and into a correct posture position. It is important to ensure proper positioning in order to eliminate pressure areas on the skin, reducing atrophy and stiffening of muscles. Correct positioning also encourages proper breathing, digestion, and elimination.
Incontinence Care
Our caregivers understand the sensitivity of this situation and correct approaches to care for individuals who need assistance. We help clients maintain proper hygiene to prevent skin breakdown. We assist the client in the bathroom and guide them onto and off the toilet or commode.
Toileting
We assist the client into the bathroom and with guiding them onto and off the toilet or commode.
Dressing
Our caregivers can assist the client with putting on Teds stockings, undergarments, clothing and footwear.
Feeding and Meal Preparation

Appetite and Fluid Supervision

Range of Motion
Our home care aides assist the client in performing gentle exercises to maintain joint flexibility.
Ambulation
We help the client safely transfer and ambulate with or without assistive devices such as a walker or cane.
Private Duty Nursing and Physical Therapy
Registered Nurse
A Registered Nurse provides medical care to an individual in a home where a more intensive assessment is needed; i.e., medication administration, medication pre-pour, vital sign recording/monitoring, diabetic management, postoperative care, etc.
Physical Therapist
Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential. This includes prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation, and rehabilitation for optimal physical, psychological, emotional, and social well-being. Physical therapists evaluate and determine the types of rehabilitation necessary to regain muscle strength, ambulation, and upper body mobility, and they utilize assistive devices if necessary. They develop a plan and instruct the client, caregivers, and other support personnel to perform the designed program.
