Elder Care:

 Aging can sometimes be difficult for your loved one and you and your family. The wide array of mixed emotions–guilt, stress, confusion, frustration–you’re feeling is common, and your local Home watch Care Givers franchise is here to help make sense of it all. Our local team of professional caregivers can give you the peace of mind you've been missing, all while doing everything they can to ensure the comfort and safety of your elder loved one. 

Each Home watch Care Givers location’s in-home elder care services are personalized to meet the unique needs of your family, type of living arrangements, and at-home care needed. The caregivers are screened and receive continuous training to include skills validation checks. Home watch Care Givers believes that anybody's quality of life can be improved with the right type of elder care. 

Senior care, also called elderly care or elder care, covers a range of in-home care services for people who are age 65 and older in need of assistance with activities of daily living in the home. Everyday activities can be difficult when experiencing the challenges brought on by aging or living with chronic conditions. Even the simplest tasks such as meal preparation, grocery shopping, or tidying up around the home can become taxing to complete. 

The exact type of care that is needed depends on the type of assistance required and challenges you and your loved one may be currently facing, such as scheduling, distance, and physical limitations. Providing elder care for the senior in your life can help them re-engage with activities, family, and friends as they age, leading to improved well-being and a renewed sense of independence! 

In-home care offers impactful one-on-one engagement for seniors. While assisted living communities and nursing homes provide reliable care, many people prefer to age in their existing home. At Home watch Care Givers, our team helps seniors age in place around familiar surroundings. 

We offer a large variety of specialty senior care services that are tailored to your needs: 

Social isolation can lead to chronic loneliness, noticed significantly more often in the elderly. A cornerstone of our senior care services is companion care. Caregivers engage with their clients with friendly conversation, learn more about them, and participate in their favorite hobbies or activities. This helps your loved one stay involved, feel appreciated, and remain connected. 

 Caregivers assist with any day-to-day personal care needs that may have or will become challenging to perform for people who are living with chronic conditions or in advanced age. A highly qualified team is here to help your senior remain independent while still providing help with personal care tasks, such as: 

Grooming and bathing assistance

Bathroom assistance and other personal hygiene

Ambulation and mobility assistance

Nursing Care

To meet the needs of seniors with significant medical conditions, some Home watch Care Givers offices may provide in-home nursing care that is performed by one or more: 

RNs – Registered Nurses

LPNs – Licensed Practical Nurses

LVNs – Licensed Vocational Nurses

Nursing services* can help your loved one continue to get the care they need in the home, including healthcare coordination and referrals as well as other recommendations to improve their well-being. 

To ensure the safety of your aging loved one and the peace of mind of you and your family, 24-hour care may be the best option. This is completed via a team of caregivers scheduled throughout the entire day or possibly a single live-in caregiver in some locations. This type of care will be tailored to meet your needs and ensure someone is on standby in-home for your loved one or family around the clock. 

Caring for a loved one is very rewarding but doesn't go without its demands. While it's often overlooked, Home watch Care Givers understands the importance of the health and well-being of family caregivers. Whether you're a son, daughter, spouse, other family member or friend – each caregiving team provides the relief you need to take a well-deserved break to rest and recharge. 

The transition from a facility back home can be challenging for seniors, not to mention critical to their health. This transition needs to be handled with compassion and person-centered care. A Home watch Caregivers team can help ensure the discharge plan is followed and the transition – and care after that – goes as smoothly as possible for the well-being of your loved one. 

Caring for and living with chronic disease, conditions, and the challenges that come with it can be overwhelming. We create comprehensive in-home chronic condition care for elders, focusing on more than just a person's condition. Each caregiver is qualified and receives training in specialty chronic condition care. Home watch Care Givers will help your family and loved one establish a plan of care to assist with the specific condition and the hardships presented. 

While dementia presents several challenges related to daily tasks and cognitive function, Home watch Care Givers strives to create care plans that focus on your loved one's current abilities instead of what may be declining. 

Elder dementia care focuses on promoting positive well-being, continually tailored to meet any needs as the condition progresses.

Home watch Care Givers provides after-surgery care to help your loved one return back to health in the comfort of their home. The transition from the hospital back home is crucial to seniors' well-being, so care plans will reflect the discharge instructions created by medical professionals. A caregiver can help to reduce the risk of falls, provide medication reminders, all while proving to be reliable and compassionate. 

As you age, getting around town can get more challenging. With the help of a caregiver, your loved one can have the necessary transportation needed to get where they need to go. Home watch Care Givers has a team that can provide elder transportation to: 

Pharmacy

Grocery store

Family's home

Community centers

Doctor's appointment
