It’s difficult to watch as our parents grow older. They struggle with problems that effect their bodies and minds. People who used to be able to handle all their own affairs are not as vibrant as they used to be, but still have the need to be independent. You want to give them the same loving care they gave you as a child, but if you do not live nearby how is that possible? Maybe you notice that you or your spouse can no longer deal with the demands of daily living and need a little help to get along. Who can you depend on?
The answer is a service that provides in-home assistance for seniors, like Home and Hearth Caregivers. Professional caregivers can provide as much or as little help as you or your family member requires. Visits can be scheduled daily, weekly, or weekend only with caregivers staying anywhere from a few hours to 24 hours a day. Some arrangements are temporary such as a client who needs assistance after discharge from a medical facility.
What services can be expected from caregivers Elmhurst? Services are varied but can include running errands, providing transportation, light housekeeping, and personal services. Some of the tasks performed by the caregivers are not chores, but more of a companion service. They will watch television with their client, play board games, work on craft projects, read to them, or just sit and talk. This helps to pass the time and keep the client’s mind sharp. The majority of the care giving services are non-medical, but there are caregivers available for special circumstances such as clients who suffer from diabetes, heart disease, MS, stroke, cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.
Before caregivers Elmhurst are hired they must undergo an extensive background check and provide proof of legal citizenship. They have to be certified in CPR and tested for TB. The caregivers are insured, licensed, as well as bonded, and references are available upon request. For special cases, caregivers who are certified CNAs and multi-lingual caregivers are available.
If you or a loved one needs assistance so they can continue to live at home, contact the home health care agency that employs the caregivers Elmhurst. They provide many helpful services to make life easier for their clients. Probably the most important service they provide is peace of mind for families knowing the care of their loved ones is in good hands.
