Personal Assistant
Our caregivers are the best! They can do light housecleaning and maintain it to keep your home clean and fresh. They will remind you to take medications, run errands for you, take care of your plants, walk your dog, and feed your cat. They can prepare meals for you, take you to the doctor or dentist, help you with your spending budget, and make appointments for you over the phone.
You will usually be assigned a primary caregiver or staff member to be your primary contact. They will attend to your needs on a routine basis around your plan of care. All of our staff are assigned a care coordinator, whose job it is to make sure your caregiver is on time and doing what is expected. The care coordinator is also your main point of contact when a change in the schedule needs to be made.
Our caregivers and staff are fully bonded, insured, and certified or licensed to perform the tasks assigned to them. If for any reason, you become unhappy with a particular caregiver, you can request an alternate and we will fill the position usually the next day.
Ergonomics and Adaptive Equipment
Ergonomics are the devices areound the home that will make life easier and safer for you so you can live longer in your home unassisted. The term "ergonomics" addresses all apsects of daily living and can center around clothing and personal care, comfort and support, safety, mobility, energy savings, getting around in the kitchen, the bathroom, and generally making life easier. Adaptive equipment are devices used to assist with completing activities of daily living. Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding are self-care activities that are including in the spectrum of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Here are a few pieces of equipment that may be helpful:
Shower bench. A shower bench can be used to assist in shower transfer. This useful addition allows for seated bathing in the shower and can eliminate the need to install a walk-in shower.
Grab bars. Grab bars can be placed in the shower, near a step or by the toilet. Grab bars can provide stability for transferring or just standing.
Raised toilet seat with arms. Having a raised toilet seat with handles helps elevate the height of the toilet, eliminating troubles with transferring on and off the toilet. This can help you avoid purchasing a raised-height toilet.
Bed rails. If your loved one is having difficulty getting in and out of bed and you don’t want to purchase a hospital bed, bed rails might be just the equipment you need.
Commode. Commodes are portable and height-adjustable toilet units. They are helpful when the bathroom is too far from the bedroom or is on another level of the house. A commode is beneficial to people who have issues getting to the bathroom on time.
