Tag home care aides

Home care providers are special people, full of love and compassion for the elderly and disabled regardless of age. Whether their role in a senior’s life is as an aide, providing assistance with everyday living tasks like bathing, dressing and eating; or as a homemaker, helping with household chores like, cooking, cleaning, laundry and shopping; or as a companion, offering a friendly smile and an ear to listen for those who don’t need hands-on assistance, home care providers are compassionate and dedicated to their jobs.

Caregivers do more than just look after their clients and attend to their needs. They are more like part of the family, sometimes seeing them more than their own loved ones. Therefore, it’s important for families to find home care aides who will treat their loved ones like their own.

Here are some of the attributes that one should look for in a quality caregiver:

•  Honest and trustworthy
•  Supportive and encouraging
•  Committed and dependable
•  Patient and flexible
•  Knows how to empathize
•  Puts the needs of his or her client first and is able to take charge when necessary
•  Passionate about what he or she does
•  Good communicator

When it comes to non-medical in-home care, not everyone has the same needs. That’s why Arcadia Home Care offers three different types of trained personnel to help with geriatric care for your loved one.

Home Care Aides

Home Care Aides are for seniors who require more hands-on assistance in their everyday lives. These caregivers can provide assistance with bathing, using the restroom, dressing, walking, moving in and out of chair or bed, and eating. If you have been looking into assisted living options for your senior, consider hiring a home care aide to help them in the comfort of their own home.

Homemakers

If your loved one needs assistance with everyday housekeeping tasks like laundry, vacuuming, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, meal preparation, shopping, or other home management activity, hire one of our homemakers. A homemaker will help your senior manage their home so that they can continue living there more easily.

Companions

Companions are perfect caregivers for seniors who do not require hands-on assistance. So often, seniors are alone in their homes with few visits from friends and family. Companions provide supervisions and companionship in the comfort of their own homes.
