Everyday Essential Care

Bathing and Dressing

From waking and getting out of bed in the morning, bathing and dressing for the day and preparing for bedtime in the evenings, our Personal Care Assistants are here to help in a caring, compassionate and patient manner. We provide as much hands on assistance or discretion as you like, always providing for your safety as our top priority. We are gentle in our approach and understand that as we age, our bodies don't move the way they used to and pain is often involved. We are here to make your mornings and evenings a little less cumbersome.

Meals

From breakfast to dinner and anything in between, good nourishing meals are important factors in so many aspects of life. When we eat better we tend to feel better. Our Personal Care Assistants help with meal planning and preparation and often enjoy sharing mealtimes with their companions!

Medications

One of the most time consuming and frustrating challenges we face as we age is keeping up with our medications - from remembering to take them on time to filling those tiny pill boxes with even tinier pills when our fingers just don't move the way they used to. Our Personal Care Assistants help pre-fill weekly medication boxes, offer reminders to take medications at the appropriate times, and keep track of prescription refills. Our PCAs also take and record vitals daily, helping their companions stay on track.

Household Chores

Changing the bedsheets is hard but it doesn't have to be. Our Personal Care Assistants help the everyday chores that need to be done - laundry, dishes, and dusting - those light housekeeping tasks that aren't so quick and easy anymore. Taking out the garbage and recycling, walking the dog. Fixing the TV and the remote and changing the clocks when it's Daylight Savings Time. And have I mentioned shopping? Whether you want to send us to the grocery store or come along with us, we'll do your shopping.

Transportation

Whether you have an appointment out of town or need to run errands around town, our Personal Care Assistants are happy to drive you where you need to go.

Medical Appointments

It isn't always possible for loved ones to attend medical appointments but it is always a good idea to have someone there to listen, take notes and ask questions that can all be relayed to loved ones when necessary.

Emergency Room Visits

Accidents happen and family can't always be there. Being in the emergency room alone can be scary and confusing. Our personal Care Assistants provide comfort to their companions during times of distress and relay pertinent medical history and information to to medical staff as well as communicate with family members and arrange for follow up medical care if necessary.

Overnight Care

Whether in the hospital or at home, our Personal Care Assistants will stay overnight if the need arises, for whatever the reason. Rest assured.

Fun Stuff

Just as important as the daily essentials are the fun things we enjoy doing and where's the limit? From helping to write memoirs to gardening, doing a photo shoot, or discussing books and current events, our Personal Care Assistants love to have fun with their companions and finding new ways to make old hobbies possible when they become challenging. And they always love to go out for a milkshake!
