Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are essential personal tasks that people do on an everyday basis. Caregivers can provide clients with help performing ADLs as needed.

Mobility Assistance

When mobility assistance is needed, a Caregiver can help with getting up, walking, transfers into or out of bed or a chair, turning/positioning in bed, range of motion exercises, and more.

Companionship

Companionship can be vital to the mental and physical well-being of older adults. Caregivers can provide companionship support that helps clients feel comfortable, secure, social, and well-cared for.

Support Services

Many times, a chief reason for utilizing home care services is allowing older adults to maintain their independence and stay in their own home for as long as possible. Caregivers can help meet that goal by providing support and a helping hand to clients with light housekeeping duties.

Nutrition

Specific attention to dietary needs, preferences, and restrictions, are very important to keeping older adults healthy and well-nourished. Caregivers can perform a variety of tasks to help meet the nutritional needs of clients.
