The passing of time is a constant guarantee, and each moment spent where we want to be, and with whom we want to be, is especially priceless. Being able to spend our days with those we love most forms bonds, creates memories and builds strong foundations. Relishing in time with loved ones, eating home-cooked meals, sharing stories and celebrating life events with one another are just a few ways to enjoy passing time together. One thought families ponder when a loved one is suddenly in need of daily living care is how to provide them with all of the support they need, as well as where to turn to for help. For many, the very thought of having to move away from home and into a care facility can be anxiety inducing. Family members, along with the individual facing such a prospect, may find themselves worrying about spending less time together, not being present for special occasions and, of course, leaving behind a household filled with favorite pastimes.
With Aqua Home Care, such worry is readily replaced with peace of mind. We take great pride in helping families stay together and keeping those in need of daily care in their own homes for as long as possible. An alternative to nursing facilities, we refer trusted in-home caregivers from our registry who bring quality services right to their client’s door. With this option, individuals are able to receive the support they need right in the comfort of home. Families are able to enjoy visiting in a familiar environment and in-home care recipients are able to enjoy the convenience of being in their own personal surroundings. With compassion and experience, in-home caregivers are able to help relieve the stress from clients and their families by offering services that can include:
- Personal care – grooming, showering, bathing, dressing, using the facilities, oral hygiene, changing bandages, etc.
- Mobility assistance – support with standing up, sitting down, getting in and out of bed, walking around the house or outdoors
- Heavy housecleaning – laundry, dishes, cleaning behind appliances and under furniture, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, changing linens, etc.
- Supervision – ensuring client is safe at all times, monitoring for changes in behavior, preventing wandering
- Transportation – safely driving client to appointments or to run errands along with other places around town
- Meal preparation – preparing meals and ensuring food is cooked and stored properly, offering feeding assistance if needed
- Medication reminders – offering reminders to take medications as scheduled and as directed
