Compassionate Caregivers Palos Verdes
The aging process can be highly unpredictable. It may come as a surprise to learn that a loved one is struggling to manage their daily tasks on their own. While they might have expressed a desire to age in place, it is becoming clear that help is needed. Caregivers can assist your loved one by providing non-medical home care services.
In Home Caregivers | Overview
An in-home caregiver offers customized services to provide support for individuals who are no longer able to adequately care for themselves. A caregiver is assigned to your loved one, and a plan is then developed to address the areas where help is needed.
Caregivers are available on a part-time, full-time, or live-in basis depending on the needs of the loved one. During caregiver shifts, they will aid the loved one by performing a multitude of tasks for them.
Caregiver services elevate the individual’s quality of life. The caregiver becomes an assistant, a companion, and a second set of eyes to ensure medication is taken on time. Having the help of a compassionate and qualified caregiver can make a positive impact on the loved one’s mental health. By improving overall wellness, it helps them continue to enjoy their independence. In summary, home caregiving offers relief to both the client and their families.
Caregivers Palos Verdes | Services
Caregiving services are different from home health care services. Where home health care involves nursing and medical interventions, caregiver services are limited to non-medical senior support care. Caregiver services may include:
- Personal Care. Caregivers are trained to provide personal hygiene care in a way that protects the patient’s dignity. They can assist in toileting and incontinence, grooming, bathing, and dressing.
- Assist with Eating. Caregivers can help with grocery shopping and light meal preparation, and assist the patient with basic eating and drinking functions.
- Posture and Mobility. The caregiver will assist the patient in safely getting in and out of bed, a chair, or a car. They will also coach the patient on maintaining good posture while eating, watching television, or reading.
- Companionship. Quality of life includes social and emotional aspects as well as the physical. Caregivers spend time with the patient, engaging them in conversation, playing games, reading to them, or just enjoying a movie together.
- Medication Reminders. Medication compliance is of utmost importance for seniors living independently. A caregiver can create a reminder system to help ensure that their medications are taken on time.
- Light Housekeeping. Aging seniors find it increasingly difficult to manage basic household chores. A caregiver provides assistance with the laundry, light housekeeping duties, and washing the dishes.
- Respite Care. When a family member is still the primary caregiver, they may benefit from a brief respite where they can take some time off to restore their own health. Caregivers can come in and fill the gap by providing care for the loved one during the respite period.
- Transportation. At a certain age, many seniors stop driving so a caregiver can provide transportation. This allows the patient to remain engaged in local activities in the community, to get to their appointments, and to visit friends.
