Compassionate Home Care Partners understands that part of home care involves making preparations that ensure a safe, healthy quality of life. One of the most important realizations is knowing that not every client has the same needs. Our Companion Care services are focused on providing your loved one a necessary level of social engagement and friendship with someone who can spend time with them. On the contrary, our homemaker services focus more on providing the basic foundation of home care that the elderly may not be able to easily provide for themselves.
Our Companion Care/Homemaker Services
A clean and comfortable living environment is the result of many small things that require doing either every week or a few times a month. Imagine a home in which the following things were not taken care of:
- Laundry and changing bed sheets
- Reminding of medication schedules
- Bathing and Toileting
- Ironing clothing
- Grocery shopping
- Meal preparation
- Keeping a clean kitchen and disposing of expired items
- Cleaning bathrooms
- Vacuuming and sweeping
- If there are pets: pet care
- Replacing batteries in smoke detectors and replacing air filters
- Keeping the floor tidy and eliminating tripping hazards.
This list was taken from our Homemaker Services page as a list of things our professional homemakers/companion caregivers do on the regular to keep your loved one’s home safe and cleanly.
How Do Homemaker Services Benefit Your Loved One?
As discussed, every client has different needs. However, one thing that is clear is that as many people age, they no longer have the energy nor the mobility to handle certain tasks week to week. Something such as replacing batteries in a smoke detector can be a dangerous task for the elderly. Many elderly people suffer falls that have serious consequences.
Simple tasks such as vacuuming or sweeping may present concerns for elderly people who suffer from chronic aches and pains. An important aspect of a good quality of life is avoiding doing things that exacerbate painful conditions.
As of writing this, the COVID-19 pandemic still is a pressing issue and going out to run errands such as grocery shopping poses additional risk for the elderly. Having a professional homemaker be able to perform these tasks in your loved one’s stead is a critical aspect of risk prevention and safety.
Even if your loved one can accomplish the task listed reasonably, should they? Retirement is a time for a person to enjoy themselves and to not worry about the menial tasks in life. A homemaker can free up even more time for your loved one to spend time doing the things they enjoy the most.
