Senior Care: Senior home care services help your parent’s age at home without risking the loss of independence.

How does Senior Care work? Take a closer look at how these senior care services aid older adults.

Help With Housekeeping

Instead of having to clean their home, your mom and dad can have caregivers help with laundry, vacuuming, mopping, and dishes. They’ll have caregivers around to sterilize surfaces, run the dishwasher, put dishes away, and put items back where they go.

Help With Meals

If your parents don’t like to cook or struggle with healthy meals, caregivers are happy to prepare meals for them. They can have their caregivers take them shopping and plan weekly menus, too. They’ll eat well and enjoy companionship while they eat.

When your mom and dad get up, they’ll have a caregiver available to cook breakfast and stay with them for lunch and dinner, if needed. You don’t have to struggle to get to their house to cook a meal after work or worry that they’re eating another night of takeout.

Help With Medications

Medication reminders are a popular service for older adults. Your parents can have caregivers remind them when it’s time to take the next dose. They also help with prescription refills, whether it’s notifying them to order them or picking the refills up in the morning.

Help With Personal Care

Part of their independence is about taking care of themselves. Your parents need to be able to brush their teeth, shave, take a shower, and get dressed. If your mom and dad cannot dress appropriately for the weather, they risk overheating in the summer or getting too cold in the winter.

Caregivers can help them with bathing, grooming, and personal care. If arthritis in the fingers keeps them from being able to brush and floss their teeth, a caregiver can help. Caregivers can help them get dressed.

Senior Care: Help With Transportation

Some older adults are fantastic drivers. Others have to give up the keys due to vision changes, health issues, or slowed reaction times. When your mom and dad cannot safely drive, they don’t have to stop going out.

Caregivers can drive your parents to the store, a restaurant or park, or the local library. They still have the freedom to go out, but someone else does the driving. You don’t have to take time off work to drive them to appointments either.

Before you schedule senior home care, take the time to ask any questions you have and that your parents have. Get prices and discuss the best services for your parents during this call. Once you’re confident you’ve chosen the best schedule and services, book senior care services with the representative.

As a former hospital administrator, I launched Aviva with the goal of having a more focused, direct impact on the delivery of care than I could ever accomplish within a hospital setting. For me, the joy of running an organization like Aviva In-Home Care is having the ability to positively improve the lives of individuals needing customized care. As a passionate Bay Area resident, I know that many local seniors can benefit from new approaches to in-home care, that will bring them more connection to the community, and provide families with a greater sense of comfort that their loved one is indeed matched with an ideal caregiver.
