Support & Care Services 

Respite Care 

Respite care is temporary and short-term relief for primary caregivers of individuals who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, or other conditions that require ongoing care. The purpose of respite care is to give the regular caregiver a break from their responsibilities, allowing them to rest, recharge, and attend to their own needs. During the respite period, the individual receiving care may stay in a facility or receive assistance from a trained professional caregiver

​

Attendant Care 

Attendant care is a type of supportive assistance provided to individuals who require help with activities of daily living (ADLs) due to physical or cognitive disabilities. This care is typically delivered by attendants or caregivers who assist with tasks that the person may find challenging to perform independently. The specific services provided can vary based on the individual's needs but often include activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and medication management.

​

Personal Care 

Personal care refers to the assistance and support provided to individuals in performing essential activities of daily living (ADLs) and maintaining personal hygiene. These activities are fundamental to an individual's well-being and include tasks that are necessary for daily life. Personal care services are often provided to individuals who may have physical or cognitive limitations, disabilities, or illnesses that make it challenging for them to carry out these activities independently.

Typical components of personal care may include:

1. Bathing and Showering: Assistance with washing and maintaining personal hygiene.

2. Dressing: Help with selecting appropriate clothing and dressing or undressing.

3. Grooming: Assistance with tasks such as hair care, shaving, and oral hygiene.

4. Toileting: Aid with using the toilet, maintaining cleanliness, and managing incontinence if necessary.

5. Mobility Assistance: Support with moving around, transferring from one place to another, and maintaining mobility.

6. Meal Preparation: Help with preparing and consuming meals, considering dietary restrictions if applicable.

7. Medication Management: Assistance with medication reminders and ensuring the proper administration of prescribed medications.

8. Monitoring Vital Signs: Depending on the individual's health condition, monitoring vital signs such as blood pressure or blood sugar levels may be part of personal care.

​

Companionship Care 

Companionship care is a type of non-medical assistance and support provided to individuals, often seniors or those with disabilities, primarily to alleviate loneliness and enhance their overall well-being. Unlike personal care, which involves assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), companionship care focuses on emotional and social support.

Services provided in companionship care may include:

1. Conversation: Engaging in meaningful and friendly discussions to provide social interaction.

2. Recreational Activities: Participating in leisure activities, hobbies, games, or outings to promote mental stimulation.

3. Reading Aloud: Reading books, newspapers, or magazines to the individual for enjoyment or companionship.

4. Accompanying on Walks or Outings: Providing company during walks, outings, or visits to social events.

5. Mealtime Companionship: Sharing meals and providing assistance if needed during dining.

6. Assistance with Hobbies: Supporting the individual in pursuing hobbies or activities they enjoy.

7. Monitoring and Safety: Being present to ensure the individual's safety and well-being.

8. Medication Reminders: Providing reminders for the individual to take prescribed medications.

​

Hourly Care 

Hourly care for home care is a caregiving service where professional caregivers or home care aides provide assistance and support to individuals in their own homes on an hourly basis. This type of home care is designed to offer flexibility and allows individuals to receive the level of assistance they need for a specific number of hours per day or week. Hourly care can be tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of the individual, providing assistance with various activities of daily living (ADLs) and non-medical tasks.

Key aspects of hourly home care include:

1. Flexible Schedule: Hourly care allows for a flexible schedule, where individuals can receive care for a predetermined number of hours each day or week. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those who may not require 24/7 assistance.

2. Personalized Care: Caregivers can provide personalized assistance based on the individual's specific needs. This may include help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship.

3. Companionship: Beyond assisting with practical tasks, caregivers offering hourly care often provide companionship and emotional support. They may engage in conversation, recreational activities, or accompany the individual on outings.

4. Cost-Effective: Hourly care can be a cost-effective solution, especially for individuals who do not require round-the-clock care. The cost is determined based on the number of hours of care provided.
