Caring for the Elderly at Home

Care for the elderly in home can be a very difficult and time-consuming prospect for many families.  Most families have to face that horrible decision of whether or not it is time for a parent or loved one to move to a full time nursing care facility.  Many families are forced into this decision because as caregivers, they do not have the ability to help out an elderly family member, and maintain a job and other family obligations, and avoid caregiver burnout.  This is where Senior Helpers can dramatically change the lives of the elderly and their caregivers.  We customize care and companionship plans based upon the needs of each client.

Some of the tasks that Senior Helpers can assist you with in order to care for the elderly in home include:

  • Nurse supervision of caregivers and the client – initial nursing evaluation, nurse visits every two weeks to monitor medication interactions, lay out medications for two weeks, evaluate the client's overall health, send reports to the primary care physician, supervise custom health and diet plans; contact us for a complimentary assessment interview.
  • Customized care plans for clients dealing with Alzheimer's disease, dementia (and progressive symptoms), or early onset memory loss.
  • MedServ Plan – our monitoring plan for the client's medication; a nurse distributes the medications, monitors the client for drug-to-drug interaction difficulties, reports to physicians, and if necessary, we can remind the patient to take the medication, deliver automated medication dispensing machines, and file medication exception reports with the primary care physician.
  • General health services – including running errands, picking up medication at the pharmacy, transportation for doctor visits, assistance with hygiene, bathing, clothing, and set out dietary plans and monitor implementation.
  • Visitations – including short "peace of mind" visits for companionship and just checking in on your loved one at home, at a hospital or care facility; "sitter" visits for when you can't be there and you want a companion to help monitor your loved one and also keep them active with companionship, visits to friends, renting movies, reading to the client, short errands to get your loved one out of the house, and so much more.
  • View our overall Services Task List for a better idea of just how we can help you care for the elderly in home (certainly the best option, as so many people's health fails and depression sets in when they have to leave home permanently for a care facility).
  • We also work with you on paying for the care of your loved one:  we have several payment options, and, for veterans, we can assist you with paperwork for reimbursement of many care services from the Veterans Administration.
