HOME CARE AIDES

Home care aides help seniors to live healthier and more productive lives as they age in place. Home care is provided by caregivers not trained or licensed as medical professionals. They are usually called home care aides who are trained in the nuances of senior care. Home care is classified as personal care or companion care and is considered “unskilled” or “non-clinical.” Home care aides provide “supportive” services, helping you to sustain and maintain your quality of life in your home as you start to lose functionality and mobility – keeping you safe and comfortable, while offering friendly companionship.

You generally will use home care when you reach the point that you:

  1. Need assistance with activities of daily living.
  2. Do not drive and need transportation.
  3. Live alone and may be socially isolated and need companionship.

What General Categories of Services are Included in Home Care?

Home care is generally comprised of one or more of the following tasks involving activities of daily living (ADLs).

  1. Meal preparation and eating assistance
  2. House cleaning
  3. Assisting with personal grooming
  4. Helping you to move around and/or get in and out of your bed/chairs/tub/shower
  5. Providing medication reminders
  6. Helping you or your spouse/partner to cope with Alzheimer’s or dementia by grounding and orienting you or them
  7. Running errands like grocery shopping, sending packages, and picking up prescriptions
  8. Providing transportation
  9. Helping with bill paying
  10. Incontinence care
  11. Toileting help

As home care aides are helping clients with their day-to-day activities, they are available to work in short shifts a few times per week during waking hours, or around the clock, seven days per week.

Home care helps seniors to perform the basic and instrumental activities of daily living while aging in place, with the help, support, and companionship of dedicated home care aides.
