Teresa’s Tips:

Encourage your older loved ones to stay socially active (church functions, family get togethers, or just getting together with friends). Studies show that frequent social interactions help with Alzheimer's, High Blood Pressure, Depression, and even Arthritis.

Safety first! When working with a new client, one of the first things I assess is potential safety hazards. Simple precautions such as improving lighting in the home, cleaning clutter from rooms, and removing/securing scatter rugs can help prevent serious accidents.

There is a direct connection between health and hydration. The elderly tend to lose their sense of thirst as they age so encourage them to drink water throughout the day.

Companion Care

Aging can bring loneliness, with memories of loved ones lost and feelings of isolation. It’s our mission is to ease that solitude with compassionate companionship and joyful moments. Our caregivers provide personalized support, including transportation to the theater, doctor’s appointments, church, or coffee shops. Contact us today for a free consultation to bring warmth and connection to your loved one’s life!

Recovering from surgery can be challenging, but our home care nurse agency is here to support you every step of the way. Our skilled nurses and care givers provide personalized post-operative care in the comfort of your home, ensuring safety, healing, and peace of mind.

Transportation

Older adults cherish their hobbies, friends, and social activities, as well as errands that keep life running smoothly. When needed we can provide safe, reliable senior transportation services, offering door-to-door support for appointments, outings, or errands. Let us help you or your loved one stay active and connected.

Dementia and Alzheimer's

If you or your parent has Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, you’re not alone. After all, on average, every four seconds someone is diagnosed with dementia, according to the World Health Organization. Yet facing the disease can feel so isolating, so overwhelming. Our in-home Dementia and Alzheimer’s care can help.

As advocates for quality dementia care, we’ve cared for patients with dementia across the region. Our specially trained, compassionate caregivers allow our clients to safely remain home, or in the home of a family member.

Senior Care

We provide joy and comfort to your elderly loved ones through our personal care, companionship care, and private duty nurse services. We want to prolong your elderly family members’ independence and well-being with services that bring them dignity and calmness.

The Onboarding Process:

Making decisions about caring for a loved one can be a confusing and stressful time.  We strive to make it easier for you by:

1. Meeting with you for a no-cost consultation to determine your needs and discuss options.

2. Having one of our Registered Nurses come to your home to assess the patient and create a customized plan of care at no cost to you.

3. We strive to match the right aide with your loved one and once this is completed, a Registered Nurse will review the specific needs of the client and the tasks that will be needed as part of their plan of care.

4. Our aides will leave comprehensive notes to inform you of daily progress and changes that you need to be aware of. In addition, our Registered Nurses will be out every 90 days to check on the client and make changes to the plan of care (if needed).
