– SHOULD YOU CHOOSE US?
Who’s Right For Senior Companion Care?
Senior companion care best suits seniors that have decided to remain in their own homes rather than moving to a care facility. This type of care would be best for seniors that need some help with their day-to-day activities, but still want to maintain their independence.
One of the primary benefits of senior companion care is that the families of the seniors know their loved ones are safe. Deciding what’s best for an aging relative isn’t easy, especially when it comes to finding a perfect balance of independence along with a safe, senior-assisting environment. Since many families live far from each other, deciding where seniors should stay is a tough one.
Home Remedy Concierge is here to help. We have all the resources your aging relative may need for their daily duties. Making sure our clients are well-taken care of is a huge sense of relief for the senior’s families, and we love creating that feeling.
– WHAT WE DO
Elder Care Services Offered
Personal and Business Errands
The ability to run errands is something many of us take for granted. Since one of our main goals at Home Remedy Concierge is to help seniors maintain their independence, we understand the importance of being able to run out and accomplish errands, no matter how mundane. Whether it is going to the bank, getting to your weekly salon appointment, shopping for clothes, or buying a family members’ birthday present, you name it – we are here to help!
Doctor’s Appointments
Managing a variety of doctor appointments can become a daunting task for some senior households. Home Remedy Concierge would love to help! We set up a calendar in the home of all upcoming appointments – as well as ensure transportation is available to and from the visits. If there aren’t any local family members available we can even attend the appointments to make sure all the necessary information is relayed to both the doctor and the patient.
Medication Reminders
Sometimes as people get older the number of prescriptions increases exponentially! As the list of daily medications expands the importance of taking them as prescribed intensifies. Home Remedy Concierge caretakers are here to keep the medications organized and ensure they are taken in the prescribed manner. We also track refills and can pick them up to guarantee our clients are never without.
Grocery Shopping
No matter what type of shopping your family prefers, Home Remedy concierge can assist. Placing orders online, picking them up and putting them away can help the family rest assured there is always nutritional and fresh food in the home. Sometimes it is more enjoyable for the clients to shop with us, in that case we will be happy to join our seniors as they pick out their favorite treats.
Tech Support (in-home)
Our Home Remedy Concierge staff is here to help with any technology questions you might have. We can help navigate social media apps, assist with email correspondence, or find entertainment with tv streaming or downloading books.
Home Maintenance
We can manage small home repairs, and also notice and suggest any maintenance needs your home might require. If the need for a larger repair arises we can help get quotes or reach out to any of the local businesses we have worked with before. The most important thing is we are here to assist YOU and nothing will be done without your approval.
Holiday Decorating
Displaying Holiday decorations that have been lovingly collected throughout the years is important to many of our clients. It can be an activity that enlivens spirits and makes one’s home inviting for friends and family. So whether it is hanging your stockings by the chimney with care or hiding Easter eggs for small visitors we would love to help your family decorate for the holidays!
Cooking and Meal Prep
If meal preparation is important to you, that is one of the top traits we look for in matched caregivers. Any necessary dietary restrictions can be followed. Home cooked meals are one important way we keep seniors not only independent but well fed!
Light Housekeeping
“The trouble with living alone is that it’s always your turn to do the dishes” Home Remedy Concierge would love to lend a hand! Keeping the house fresh by washing dishes, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping. Don’t forget the laundry! Our helping hands can quickly let the house feel like a breath of fresh air.
House Sitting
Though it’s not always the first thing people think of when they imagine what sort of help seniors might need, house sitting is extremely important. If you’re out of town, we’ll come to your house to pick up the mail, keep up on any maintenance, and just do a general check-in of your home.
– OUR TEAM
Trained and Well-Equipped Staff
The Home Remedy Concierge staff is highly skilled, reliable, and empathetic. Each staff member is professionally trained as Personal Care Assistants (PCA), which means we’re fully equipped to help our clients with any daily tasks they need.
We also understand that seniors’ families are not always able to come for visits as often as one might like, so our staff members gladly provide the invaluable elements of friendship and emotional support.
– WHY SENIOR COMPANION CARE?
Your Own Home Can Have More Benefits Than a Care Facility
There are numerous options for where seniors can live. They can move in with their families, move to assisted living facilities/nursing homes, or remain in their own homes. Of course, staying in one’s own home does sound appealing, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming, complicated, and lonely.
That’s where Home Remedy Concierge comes in. We’re devoted to providing compassionate, reliable, and energetic care and assistance to Chesapeake seniors. Our goal is to ensure that seniors can feel comfortable and safe in their own homes, while keeping their independence and accustomed lifestyle.
There are countless benefits of seniors being able to remain in their own home versus being moved to a care facility. There is no doubt that the difficulties that come with growing old are stressful, especially losing the freedoms you’ve grown accustomed to your whole life. That loss of independence feels draining and disheartening, and most likely plays a large part in seniors ending up in nursing homes or other similar facilities.
Those transitions don’t just affect seniors, but also the family members of seniors. They’re called the “sandwich generation,” as they’re responsible for taking care of elderly relatives while also raising their own children – which can lead to extremely high stress levels. It’s typical for families to not live close together, sometimes on the other side of town, or even in different states. This makes it even harder when it comes time for the senior and their family to choose what sort of living option to go with.
A nursing home or a similar care facility can definitely be a valid choice sometimes, however, the cost can get pretty high. Not only are the expenses high, but moving to an unfamiliar environment can often lead to seniors becoming depressed, and in turn, getting even sicker. Additionally, we all witnessed the devastating steps that senior living communities had to put forth to keep seniors safe during the pandemic – that added isolation was an unfortunate price paid by families all over our country.
What if there was another way? An option that granted a senior their independence, was affordable, and gave family members peace of mind knowing their loved one was looked after, and happy. Home Remedy Concierge is that option.
