Don’t Overlook These Caregiver Services
You may know of the benefits of some caregiver services, but there are other care services that can be greatly beneficial which are less well-known.

Home Help
When caregivers visit a client in their client’s home, they often provide some light housekeeping. Whether the client or their family directly requests these chores or they’re just a simple add on, these services can really help. At Always Best Care of Norfolk, we know that many seniors have difficulty caring for their homes. That’s why we provide home helper services. We can assign a caregiver to manage household chores, such as laundry, sorting mail, and cleaning inside refrigerators.
If moving into a long-term care facility isn’t the right option for you or your loved one, it’s important to know that caregivers can still provide valuable services for you. A home helper caregiver can ensure their clients don’t fret over exhausting and painful household chores. Another benefit is that starting in-home care with home helper services can make for a smoother transition to care than going from nothing to personal care, if that becomes necessary.
Mental And Emotional Health Benefits
Seniors face as many mental health problems as they do physical ones, but we tend to focus less on mental health because these symptoms are often harder to notice. At Always Best Care of Norfolk, we provide companion care. Companion caregivers talk with their clients, inquire about their wellbeing, play card and board games with them, and monitor their mental condition.
Help With Errands
A caregiver’s services aren’t limited to the inside of their clients’ Norfolk-area homes. For example, caregivers can do errands, such as grocery shopping and picking up medication. They can also accompany their clients to medical appointments, recreational events, and more.
Medication Reminders
After picking up their clients’ medication, caregivers can then see to it that their clients take that medication. It can be hard to remember when and how to take your medication, especially if you’re a senior and especially if you have several medications to take. Caregivers can help by visiting at the same time every day and reminding their clients when and how to take their medication.
Keeping Clients Connected To The Outside World
Caregivers often help their clients stay in touch with family and friends. Caregivers can help with correspondence by reading letters to their clients and helping them write and send letters to their loved ones. Caregivers can also help clients with paying and sorting bills.
