Home Helpers Caregivers Make Holidays Happier in West Pasco and Pinellas Counties

In my recent blog, Assessing the Well-Being of Seniors During the Holidays and Providing Support to Make Life Easier, I shared some professional insight to help you understand more about things you should watch for when you spend quality time with your aging loved ones this holiday season.

However, suppose you cannot spend time with your senior family members over the holidays because you live a distance away or circumstances prevent it. In that case, I have a solution for you to consider. If a special senior in your life lives alone in the Clearwater area and would benefit from in-home care services, Home Helpers makes holidays happier days in West Pasco and Pinellas Counties.

Our care team provides an array of senior care services to help keep seniors engaged and independent wherever they call home.

• Companion care is a gift to seniors who live alone, to keep their minds engaged through conversation, games, and activities, and keep them socially connected, as much as possible. This also includes transportation assistance for aging adults who have retired from driving or are no longer able to safely drive themselves. Our caregivers provide transportation to and from doctor appointments, trips to the hair salon or barber shop, support group meetings, social outings, and almost anywhere they want or need to go.
• Homemaker services include light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, and mopping, to name a few, as well as running errands, pharmacy pick-ups, and more.
• Personal care involves assistance with personal hygiene, like bathing, hair care, dressing, and toileting which are all routine activities of daily living to help keep seniors healthy, happy, and independent at home.
• Nutritional meal planning and preparation is vital but may be too difficult for seniors, especially if they have physical or mental health conditions. An experienced caregiver can alleviate that burden by planning and preparing delicious, nutritious meals even if there are dietary restrictions and considerations. We call this Caregiver Meal Prep.
• Alzheimer’s and dementia care eases the burden on family members through customized home services to ensure a better quality of life and more peace of mind for you and your senior loved one.
• Respite care is critical for family and private caregivers to allow them the time needed for their own physical and mental wellness and holiday preparations.
• Specialized care services include but are not limited to recuperative care, support for stroke recovery, and veterans care.
• 24-hour care is designed to provide continuous care and support for seniors with more comprehensive needs.
• 24-hour monitoring is available for seniors who would benefit from our Direct Link Mobile Companion II monitoring service to protect their safety, security, and independence when they live alone.
• Wellness calls by our team ensure seniors are eating, exercising, staying hydrated, and taking their medications properly.

In addition to this list of home care services, our professional caregivers are trained and equipped to keep family members and our Home Helpers team up to date about our senior clients.

• Condition-tracking technology allows our caregivers to monitor symptoms and changes in our clients’ conditions in real time.
• Regular Communication between our caregivers, our administrative team, and family members ensures everyone stays informed about our client’s current status.
• Personalized Care Plans are created to address the specific needs of an individual and allow me to assign the best caregiver for the client based on those needs.

Home Helpers is here to do exactly what our name says: help. We’re more than an in-home care agency, we’re your extended family when family can’t be there. The gift of a Home Helpers compassionate caregiver may be one of life’s best for you or your senior loved one. Our exceptional caregivers assist seniors every day with all of these services and more, for their overall safety and well-being.

If any of the care services listed above would give you peace of mind and be of benefit to your senior loved one over the holidays and beyond, please take advantage of the FREE Consultation I offer to assess specific needs and create a personalized care plan to help make life easier for everyone.
