Home care services are provided to an individual who requires regular help and assistance around the home. There are different services provided depending on the needs of an individual. The costs also vary depending on the services to be provided. The care workers are qualified and will provide the services that are supposed to provide. They are also experienced and makes it easier to deal with the individual.

Below are some of the services you can get from a home care service;

– Personal care, which entails washing, dressing, and maintaining of a person’s healthy living. This ensures the hygiene of the patients is taken care of, and if they have a problem dressing, they are helped or given direction.

– Housekeeping or domestic works including tasks such as washing, tidying up, vacuuming and dusting. This ensures that the house is clean to avoid any complications or infections as a result of germs.

– Cooking and meal preparations services in situations where the individual cannot carry out the functions. The caregiver can also do the tasks alongside the patient but the health of the patient should be the first priority.

– Companionship for individuals who are alone or lonely. This will help them feel like they have somebody by their side and eventually reducing stress or depression.

– Providing transportation and running errands. Most patients are not in a position to drive, hence the need for alternative ways of transport.

– Medication Reminders – The medicine should be taken in the correct prescription and at the right time. Failing to do so might lead to serious complications.

– Providing supervisions for persons with cognitive issues such as Cognitive Impairment or Dementia.

– Mobility assistance

– Incontinence

The home care services can provided at any time of the day. The services are provided around the clock because of the needs and requirement of the people in need of the care. There are also services that can be provided during the day only.

There are also services that will provide emergency care when the individual hurts him/herself maybe falling down and they are in need of emergency treatment. The shift will end when the individual gets back home safely or kept overnight in the night.

There is also a service that the attendant will make occasional visits to provide the home care services. The shifts can be changed or adjusted depending on the needs of the patients receiving the services.

If a patient is not sure on the type of services he/she would need, a highly skilled staff member or private duty nurse will visit the home of the patient and do an assessment.

The cost of having a home care assistance service is far much less than what the patient would have to spend if they remain in the nursing home. This saves a lot of money, and you get an even more personalized service.
