At Avid Home Health, we understand how important it is to foster relationships with family, friends, neighbors, and community members. Home care goes beyond a certified professional ensuring that your loved one’s health needs are met. While that is a big part, home care also extends itself to companionship. Dependable, compassionate care at home is a reality when choosing Avid Home Health. Loneliness can be debilitating to an aging or chronically ill individual, which is why our compassionate caregivers take time to socialize and mentally stimulate their patients. We believe in building trusting relationships for the greater good of our patients.
Apart from socializing with a caregiver, socialization with friends and family is also necessary. Our caregivers can provide transportation, arrange meetings or Doctor’s appointments, and accompany your loved one to church or Doctor’s visits. Whether you need a caregiver every day or once a week, we create flexible and customizable plans according to your situation. Our companion care services include:
Having Caring Conversations
Studies have proven that socially engaged seniors and disabled individuals have an improved quality of life compared to individuals who lack socialization. They also are less likely to develop cognitive decline or depression.
Light Housekeeping
Daily tasks such as tidying up or folding clothes can overwhelm most patients, especially if they suffer from an illness or disorder that hinders their physical abilities. Our caregivers can provide light housekeeping and laundry services. These services include; dusting, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, folding laundry, ironing, washing, and drying clothes.
Providing Transportation
Most of our patients cannot or do not drive; therefore, they require transportation. We provide transportation services to those who need them. Whether our patient has to attend church or a doctor’s appointment, we can get them there safely and promptly.
Scrapbooking and Other Hobbies
Hobbies such as scrapbooking help aid in mental stimulation. We enjoy keeping our patients busy doing things that they love.
Setting Medication Reminders
Ensuring your loved one receives their prescribed medications is at the top of our priority list. Our caregivers help set medication reminders, assist with opening medication containers, reading prescription labels, and reminding our patients when it is time to take their medicine.
Beyond these companion services, Avid Home Health also offers our patients help with the following:
