Home Care & Support
Senior Care & Support
Often called non-medical or private duty, personal care services help individuals remain safe, independent and engaged in leading enriched lives. It’s often the kind of in-home help that allows people to avoid moving out of their homes into a more expensive and less attractive setting.
This can include companionship and also assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Activities of daily living are routine activities that people do every day without needing assistance. The basic ADLs include eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (walking) and continence. An individual’s ability to perform these ADLs is an important part of understanding the type of services that are needed. In most instances, these services are provided to seniors who may need a little extra help or in some instances more help like 24 hours 7 days a week or even a live-in arrangement.
These services can also be utilized as a source of respite by another person who is providing care to their loved one. Many times, family caregivers enlist the help of someone else – whether a friend, sibling or paid professional – to help with certain tasks when they have their hands full. A professional from Interim can be a great relief to overworked family caregivers who need a break.
In-Home Care Services and Companionship
Enrichment Activities
Interim HealthCare’s HomeLife Enrichment® Program is designed to help seniors lead safe, independent, and enriched lives. Customized for the individual, this program focuses on the mind, body, spirit, and family, and provides a variety of services that go beyond the usual support that many home care companies provide.
Medication Reminders
A growing number of adults - approximately four out of five - are currently taking at least one medication while nearly one-third of adults take more than four prescription medications at the same time. Remembering to take medications on time is a big challenge, especially for the elderly. Interim Care Professionals can assist.
Meal Preparation
Nutrition is very important and helping prepare nutritious meals is often the little extra help a senior needs. Many seniors do not have the opportunity to eat a well-balanced meal, and some even participate in cooking activities so they become involved in as much or as little as their ability and desire allow. Often just having someone to eat a meal with makes a significant difference.
Light Housekeeping
Keeping up with housekeeping can be a challenge for many seniors. While Interim HealthCare is not a maid service, Care Professionals can provide light housekeeping services including dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens. Care Professionals also help with organizing drawers and closets and making sure things are picked up to avoid any slips or falls.
Helping with Laundry
By having Interim Care Professionals help with washing, drying and putting away the laundry, seniors can often conserve their energy for more important tasks. Sometimes these services are done in the home and other times assistance can be provided to clients at a laundromat.
Transportation
Many seniors have a problem getting to the store, picking up prescriptions, running errands, going to the beauty salon and getting to their doctor’s appointments. Although we’re not a taxi, ambulance or limousine service, we can provide transportation in conjunction with other personal care and support services.
Customized Live-In Home Care Services
Customized Live-In Home Care Services
Customizing care to each client’s needs is part of the service plan developed by Interim HealthCare. It can be a few hours a week to full-time care. Sometimes clients want live-in home care which means that an Interim HealthCare Care Professional will live in a client’s home to provide in-home care each day. The services may vary depending on the needs of the client. By providing live-in services, the client and family members gain peace of mind in knowing there is someone in the home with the client.
24-Hour Home Care Services
There are times when clients need around the clock 24 hour services. Depending on the need, Interim HealthCare can coordinate caregiving with shifts of employees who can provide specific services. In many instances, this type of continuous in-home care service is provided for clients who are at risk when unattended, such as persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions.
Respite Care and Relief Provides a Much-Needed Break for Family Caregivers
Respite care provides breaks from the daily routine of caregiving. It can relieve stress, restore energy and promote the necessary balance in the life of a family caregiver. Whether it’s for a few hours or a well-deserved vacation, Interim HealthCare can provide the necessary support and relief.
