Home Health Aides and Companions provide essential services offered that enable the elderly to age at home.
Personal Assistance/Home Health Aides
When a senior begins having trouble performing the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), it is time to consider help. These ADLs are all the personal care chores that the patient can no longer manage on the own. It’s things like oral and dental care, grooming and bathing.
Companion Care
When the skills of a home health aide are not necessary, families often turn to companions as a way to provide care and supervision of their elderly loved ones. Since companions are less skilled than home health aides, they are also a more affordable option for many households.
Live-In Caregivers & 24-Hour Homecare
24-hour live-in care provides around-the-clock support to keep them in their home for as long as possible. Depending upon your situation, it can be either for a short period of time or for the long term.
Help with Errands & Transportation Services
Just because you don’t drive anymore doesn’t mean you have to stop going out. A home health aide or companion can assist the elderly to and from their desired destinations. Errands and transportation are some of the core services of senior caregiving.
Hospital Discharge, Transition, & After Surgery Care
While it is a relief to be going home, the care transition can be frightening to both the patient and their loved ones. Fortunately, hospitals do not discharge anyone without the discharge planning social worker ensuring that arrangements are made. David York Agency works in close cooperation with the Discharge Planner to ensure a smooth and stress-free transition back to their own home.
Homemaking & Light Housekeeping Services
Our Home Health Aides take over the total care of the patient to ensure that they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. They take care of the homemaking and light housekeeping with respect to the patient. A little help with light housekeeping and personal laundry can help a senior stay in their home.
Meal Preparation and Senior Nutrition
Keeping up with daily meals and nutrition can be an arduous task for seniors. Our Home Health Aides and senior caregivers are trained in meal preparation and senior nutrition at our in-house in-service training. Our home health aides will monitor their diet by preparing healthy meals and go grocery shopping with or for your parent.
Geriatric Care Management Services
Managing all the details and logistics required for situating an elderly parent either in their home after a hospital stay can be daunting for a child or senior spouse. That is when it is often a good idea to hire one of our professional geriatric care managers (GCM).
