How Can A Caregiver Help You In Greater Milwaukee

If you’re a senior, or the child or loved one of a senior, living in the Greater Milwaukee area, it’s important to know how a caregiver could help you.

What Is A Caregiver?

Caregivers care for people who need some help maintaining their health and managing their lives. These people are most often seniors, but many younger people have disabilities with which caregivers can help. Of course, many seniors don’t need any of this help. But even if you or your elderly loved one are healthy, it’s worth learning about caregivers in case the time comes when you could benefit from working with one.

Caregivers are sometimes called non-medical healthcare workers. This is because they’re not nurses or doctors. Registered nurses must graduate nursing school and doctors must graduate medical school. Caregivers typically don’t have these degrees, but they do have their own qualifications.

What Qualifications Do Caregivers Have?

At Always Best Care of Brookfield, all of our caregivers are employees, not freelancers or contract workers. This is important to us because it allows us to work with our caregivers closely, anticipating client needs and ensuring we deliver the high-quality care services our clients deserve. All our caregivers must pass a thorough screening process before we hire them. They are all insured and trained to serve the wide variety of needs our clients have.

What Services Do Caregivers Provide?

Caregivers help people take care of themselves. This can include physical help, emotional help, and practical help. Some services the caregivers of Always Best Care of Brookfield provide include:

Personal Care

Our caregivers provide personal caregivers to help with the activities of daily living. These are activities such as getting out of bed, getting around when a client has mobility issues, using the toilet, bathing and showering, oral care, preparing and eating meals. They can also help with light housekeeping and errands.

Specialized Care

Our caregivers can also help clients who live with or who are recovering from specific ailments and diseases. These include post-surgery recovery and rehabilitation, cancer, and Alzheimer’s and dementia care. We also offer palliative care.

Respite Caregivers

Many caregivers in Wisconsin are not employees of a healthcare agency but the loved ones of elderly and disabled people. These family caregivers can’t provide care all the time, though. If a family caregiver has a vacation planned, is busy with work, or just needs a break, we can step in and provide respite care.
