1. Practical Caregiver Services
Some services caregivers provide don’t directly aid the health of their clients. For example, when a caregiver visits a client in their client’s home, they often provide some light housekeeping. This might not seem like much, but housekeeping services can really help. At Always Best Care of Richmond, we know that many seniors have trouble caring for their homes. That’s why we provide home helper services. We can assign a caregiver to take care of certain household chores, such as laundry, sorting mail, and cleaning inside refrigerators.
Seniors can move into senior living communities where the staff takes care of much, or even all, of these household chores. But not all seniors want to leave their Greater Richmond Area homes. For them, a home helper caregiver can ensure they needn’t fret over exhausting and painful household chores. Furthermore, starting in-home care with home helper services can make transitioning to more high-level forms of care easier than going from zero to sixty.
2. Mental And Emotional Care
Seniors face many mental health problems just as they do physical problems. However, we often focus less on mental health issues because these symptoms are often harder to notice. At Always Best Care of Richmond, we provide companion care. Companion caregivers talk with their clients, listen to what’s troubling them, play fun card and board games with them, and keep an eye on their mental condition.
3. Help With Errands
Caregivers can even help outside the home. For example, caregivers can do errands, such as grocery shopping and picking up medication. Caregivers are also available to accompany their clients to medical appointments, recreational events, and more.
4. Medication Reminders
It’s not always easy to remember when and how to take your medication. This is especially trueof seniors and especially true for seniors who have several medications to take and might struggle with poor memories. Caregivers can help by visiting their clients at the same time each day and reminding them when and how to take their medication.
5. Keeping Clients Connected To The Outside World
Caregivers often help their clients keep in contact with family and friends. They can help with correspondence by reading letters to their clients and helping them write and send letters back. Caregivers can also help clients pay and sort bills.
