Home Care

Most elderly persons are capable of living on their own but occasionally require a little help. Our home service caregivers are specially trained to give the helping hand needed to brighten the day, lighten the workload and ensure peace of mind. Our non-medical services include:

Companionship - One of the most important aspects of Health & Home Senior Care will be providing customers with a strong sense of family and compassion. Taking an interest in the customer, their life and their environment will create an everlasting bond. Whether it is playing a favourite board game or card game, reading, taking a stroll or visiting with friends and neighbours, life is meant to enjoy. One of the founding principals of Health & Home Senior Care is to enrich the lives of seniors and their loved ones; companionship is an anchor to this principal.

Light House Cleaning - similar to a housekeeping or maid service, the Home Worker will provide dusting, damp mopping hardwood and flooring, vacuuming carpets and furniture, changing bedding, scrubbing the bathroom and general tidying of living spaces as required or requested.

Laundry - From pre-washing and washing to drying, ironing and folding.

Kitchen Maintenance - The Home Worker may not wear a chef's hat but they do know their way around a kitchen. Meals can be planned in conjunction with a nutritionist or with the customer. Grocery planning, grocery shopping, dishwashing, food maintenance, and cooking will fill the house with the welcoming aromas of everyone's favourite foods.

Attendant/Driver Service - If mobility is a concern, the Home Worker can attend any function, appointment or errand with the customer. Whether it is to a local sporting event, family gathering or shopping excursion, the customer will have the added security of someone to lean on. Depending on arrangements, travel is by taxi or the Home Workers vehicle. The Home Worker keeps a client schedule so that important appointments are not forgotten.

Home Basics - This covers all the basics of looking after a home such as gardening, lawn mowing or landscaping arrangements, garbage control, heat and utilities checks, watering indoor plants, replacing light bulbs and everything else that may have at one time been addressed by the customer.

Pet Care - A pet is sometimes the best therapy to fight loneliness, depression, medical problems or stress. The Home Worker will ensure the pet is always as happy as the customer. Cleaning, feeding and exercising the pet will be part of the day's activities.

Basic Personal Care - Washing, help with pre-poured medicine, personal hygiene, nail care, hairdressing, picking out co-ordinated outfits, help getting dressed or applying makeup. The Home Worker will take the best interests of the customer at heart.
