Private caregiving offers many services, depending on what your loved one needs or wants. We talk with you and your loved one to determine this individualized care plan.
Home health private caregiving provides families and individuals with a nonmedical support team. We can provide assistance with daily living activities and companionship. Private caregiving allows the families to change their role from primary caretaker to a supportive loved one.
Nonmedical caregiving provides support to the individual and the family. Taking care of a loved one can sometimes become a welcomed but heavy responsibility. Caregivers will take a lot of the day to day responsibilities off of the family and into the caring hands and hearts of a trained professional. Private caregiving allows seniors to stay in their home and still receive quality care. Private caregivers are passionate about their work with your loved one. They have dedicated their lives to improving the care of seniors in our community. We see their wisdom and understand these are very special people! They have lived a long life and deserve the dignity and respect shown to them. We are here to comfort and support our seniors as we all walk this path of life. We consider our work as an honor, not just a job, but a passion to care for others.
Private caregiving offers many services, depending on what your loved one needs or wants. We talk with you and your loved one to determine this individualized care plan. Our services range from full care to standby assist and end of life care (hospice). This includes bathing, grooming meal preparation, toileting needs, oral care, transfer from wheelchair to bed and position changes to reduce pressure and increase comfort. We can provide support with exercise programs and pet care. We offer companionship that includes reading, coloring, doing puzzles, gardening, going for walks, getting the mail and any activity or interest that you or your loved one enjoys! We enjoy active listening when we provide transportation to doctor appointments or for shopping trips and errands – and our seniors in this community have the best stories. We also offer assistance to those in senior living communities. We can attend meals, facility activities such as going to church and assisting with orientation to a new facility.
We understand that your family is important and we are honored to be able to help in any way we can. We encourage one’s overall physical and emotional well-being! It has been my experience that having a private caregiver can bring a lot of joy into one’s life. We take the time to build that trusting relationship and encourage as much positivity and joy as possible. Home health private caregivers work closely with other local agencies as well, such as senior living communities, those providing physical therapy, and hospice services.
A few really special private caregiving companies that I have found that are organized by special and qualified people in our community are WildFlower Caregiving LLC and Integrity First Home Care LLC.
If you or a loved one are interested in contacting private caregiving services, you can contact your local hospitals to get a list of home health private caregiving companies, or call 928-221-6892 and I will do my best to help you find the care you are looking for. FBN
