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.

Home sweet home. It’s a familiar place that feels safe because it’s what you are used to. The recognition of your surroundings provides comfort. If you or a loved one needs services due to an illness, surgery, or symptoms of aging, rely on our caregivers to assist you just like a member of your family would. With over 35 years in the home care industry, you can rely on our caregivers.

According to a study done by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), nearly 90 percent of seniors want to stay in their own homes, often referred to as “aging in place.” In addition to medication management, companionship, and relief for family members, other benefits of receiving in-home care include:

Affordability, Feelings of Independence, High Levels of Comfort & Familiarity, Safety in Same Routines, Maintaining Quality of Life and Confidence in a Personal Caregiver

Aging in place with a caregiver from Arcadia adds a level of convenience for everyone involved. Together, we’ll customize a care plan to fit your personal needs, everything from meal preparation to transportation to doctors’ appointments. In addition, families are kept abreast with regular updates as to how their loved ones are doing.

The assisted living at home services we provide are available in three types of non-medical caregivers: home care aides, homemakers, and companions/sitters. For more information, visit our website to find a local office in your area or call toll-free at 866-224-7541.

Once you have made the decision to entrust your loved one’s life with an in-home caregiver, how do you work with Arcadia to select the best caregiver? There are a number of considerations in order to ensure we build a positive relationship for, you, your loved one, and the caregiver.

Arcadia Home Care is able to match a caregiver specifically with the tasks you need. For example, you may want someone who can prepare meals and drive your loved one to doctor appointments. Or, if social interaction is a priority, you could request a caregiver who is energetic or one that is quiet. When you work with us, we select a caregiver based on the home care needs of your loved one.

It’s best to start by giving Arcadia as much information as possible about your loved one. Be sure to emphasize what is most important, both in terms of technical skills as well as other social or environmental considerations. Here are a few things to consider when looking for personal care aides.

• Loved one’s level of functioning
• Food preferences
• Activities they enjoy
