COMPANION CARE SERVICES

Whether a client seeks conversation, companionship, or simply someone to share a meal with, having a friendly presence can greatly enhance their happiness and overall well-being. Engaging with each client is our top priority.

Meal Preparation  

 Many seniors face challenges in accessing well-balanced meals. Our caregivers are trained to prepare hot, delicious, and nutritious meals, providing clients with the opportunity to enjoy healthy eating that supports their well-being. Considering that many seniors have dietary restrictions, such as sodium limitations or diabetes, our caregivers are mindful of each client's specific needs and carefully select spices.

Light Housekeeping  

Our cleaning services include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, and mopping floors, as well as thoroughly cleaning bathrooms—sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets. We also focus on kitchens by cleaning sinks, appliances, and countertops, taking out the trash, straightening up all rooms, making beds, organizing closets and drawers, and cleaning any reachable interior windows without the use of a step stool or ladder.

Errand Services  

Caregivers can assist with errands such as picking up prescriptions, going to the post office, or handling other routine chores. If a caregiver uses their own vehicle, both the hourly rate and a mileage charge will apply.

Grocery Shopping  

Caregivers can shop with or without the client, visiting any store of the client's choice and utilizing any coupons provided. If a caregiver uses their own vehicle, both the hourly rate and a mileage charge will apply.

Incidental Transportation  

The caregiver can provide trips to doctor appointments, barbershops, beauty salons, shopping, wherever the client likes to go. Getting seniors out and about is good for their mind, body and spirit. If the caregiver uses his/her own vehicle, both the hourly rate and mileage charge would apply.  

Daily “TLC” Phone Calls  

This service involves daily telephone calls to clients who may not require daily in-home visits, providing them and their families with peace of mind. They can rest assured that if they need assistance, we will be checking in on them each day. 

Laundry & Linen Washing  

These services can be done in either the client’s home or the Laundromat, and includes washing, drying, ironing and putting things away.   

Medication Reminders

Aging at Home Solution offers assistance with medication management, including opening medication containers or medpaks, reading labels, and reminding clients to take their medications. Certified Medication Technicians (CMTs) are trained to prepare, administer, and document non-injectable medications that are taken orally, by nebulizer, with a metered-dose inhaler, topically (excluding wound or decubitus care), via suppository, and through ear, eye, and nose drops. CMTs may also administer oxygen using a nasal cannula or mask.

Recreation Activities  

Whether it’s cards, board games, or a walk in the park, Aging at Home Solution can help keep our clients active in mind and body. We can take the client out to enjoy their favorite activities.

Organize Incoming Mail  

We can assist clients in sorting through incoming mail, separating junk mail from important correspondence, and informing them when a response to a letter is needed or when bills are due. Additionally, we can help send out cards, letters, and packages to the client's family and friends.

Periodic Review with Family  

We can conduct regular check-ins with the family to discuss the client’s progress, address any concerns, and reassess any services that may be required. This service is especially beneficial for clients whose families live far away or may not have daily contact with their loved ones.

PERSONAL CARE SERVICES

Bathing  

Bathing is vital to an individual’s sense of well-being, as it refreshes the spirit, promotes relaxation, cleanses the skin, and stimulates circulation. The Aging at Home Solution Personal Care Assistant can provide a shower, tub bath, or bed bath based on the client's specific needs.

Mobility 

Activity and exercise are essential components of a healthy lifestyle. Aging at Home Solution Personal Care Assistants can assist clients with various mobility and passive range-of-motion exercises. The benefits of movement for both physical and mental health are evident in everyday life, including increased stamina, strengthened heart function, lowered blood pressure, and improved digestion and sleep. Additionally, regular movement enhances mood, reduces stress, and boosts mental alertness.

Transferring and Positioning

Properly positioning or moving a person into a correct posture encourages the functional activity of the body’s various systems. This approach helps eliminate pressure points on the skin, reduces muscle atrophy and stiffness, and promotes proper breathing, digestion, and elimination. Aging at Home Solution Personal Care Assistants are trained to ensure safety and will not lift more than 25 pounds at any time.

Incontinence Care/Toileting

Inability to control urination or defecation can be embarrassing for individuals and may lead to unsanitary conditions if not managed properly. Our caregivers recognize the sensitivity surrounding this issue and are trained to provide compassionate care for individuals experiencing these challenges. Personal Care Assistants can assist with changing disposable undergarments and emptying catheters, among other duties.

Elimination is a normal and essential bodily function, yet it is often considered a private matter that is not openly discussed. This can lead to feelings of embarrassment and a sense of lost independence for the individual. Our caregivers are committed to creating an acceptable, comfortable, and safe environment for all toileting needs.

Medication

Aging at Home Solution can provide assistance with medication management including opening medication containers or medpaks, reading labels and reminding the person to take their medications. The Certified Medication Technician (CMT) may prepare, administer, and chart non-injectable medications administered: orally; by nebulizer; metered dose inhaler; topically (excluding wound or decubitus site care); by suppository; and by ear, eye, and nose drops. CMTs may administer oxygen by nasal cannula and mask.

Oral Hygiene

Proper mouth, teeth, denture and gum care are essentials to good oral and dental hygiene. Our caregivers can provide daily oral care, which can prevent bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease and assist in prevention of other diseases.

Special Diet/Meal Preparation

Aging at Home Solution recognizes that eating is a social activity and that good nutrition is important in order for people to live life to its fullest. It is especially important for a person whose body is in a weakened condition. Aging at Home Solution caregivers can prepare nutritional meals to give the client energy to carry out the day's activities, which are also necessary to rebuild body tissue, prevent disease and are essential to any healing process.

Feeding

Aging at Home Solution Personal Care Assistants understand that it can be hard for adults to accept the idea of not being able to feed themselves and therefore have to be fed. The reasons for this are varied, however the sense of loss of independence is real. Our caregivers understand the feelings this can cause and take the extra effort to make the environment and mealtime special through interaction and socialization.

24-Hour Care Available  

For those clients who can’t be left alone for any amount of time, Aging at Home Solution can provide services 24 hours a day. 

Respite Care Available  

This is most beneficial when rest and relief for family members, who are assisting with the care of their loved ones, is needed. Aging at Home Solution can provide assistance so the family member can run errands, go shopping, socialize or get some much-needed rest.
