– ARE WE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU?
Who Is Senior Companion Care Best For?
Senior companion care is best for seniors who have decided to stay in their own homes as opposed to switching to a care facility. Senior companion care perfectly suits those who require assistance in their daily lives but prefer to maintain independence.
A key benefit of senior companion care is that the families of the seniors know their loved ones are taken care of. Making decisions for what to do with aging relatives can be quite an ordeal for younger relatives that want to keep their seniors happy, but are also taken care of as needed. It’s rare that families live close to one another these days, which makes it hard to decide where seniors should live.
Home Remedy Concierge is here to ensure that every aspect of the process is taken care of. We provide our clients with all the resources they need to complete their day-to-day activities. The sense of relief that families feel knowing their elderly loved one is safe is a vital reason why we do what we do.
– 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
Professional and Trained Staff
The staff at Home Remedy Concierge is dependable, compassionate, and highly educated. Each member is trained as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), meaning we’re all fully capable of helping our clients take care of whatever tasks they need to get completed.
On top of assisting with day-to-day tasks, our staff often provides invaluable aid through friendship and emotional support, as we understand that family members can’t always visit as often as one might like.
– WHY SENIOR COMPANION CARE?
There Are Benefits to Staying in the Comfort of Your Own Home
There are a variety of options for where seniors can reside. They can decide to stay in their own homes; they can join their families; they can also settle down in assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Of course, the idea of living in one’s own home sounds like the best option, but it can also feel overwhelming, difficult, and often loney.
That’s when Home Remedy Concierge is most effective. We’re committed to providing understanding, proficient, and energetic care and assistance to seniors in the Norfolk area. Our mission is to ensure that seniors can remain in their own homes, feeling safe and comfortable, and living their accustomed lifestyles.
There are many benefits of seniors staying in their own homes rather than being moved to a care facility. No one can deny how difficult it must be to age, and gradually, or sometimes rapidly, lose the freedoms you’ve grown accustomed to during your life. That loss of autonomy can feel absolutely demoralizing, and probably contributes to why many seniors wind up in nursing homes and other similar facilities.
Those changes affect not only seniors, but their family members as well. The “sandwich generation” who is responsible for looking after elderly parents while raising their own children experience very high levels of stress. Additionally, it’s common for families to live far apart from one another – oftentimes in different states. The distance only makes it more difficult to see eye-to-eye when choosing the best living option for the senior.
Nursing homes or similar care facilities can absolutely be the right choice sometimes, however, the expenses can be extremely high. Even if you do find a great, affordable facility, moving to an unfamiliar environment can sometimes cause seniors to get depressed, which can take a toll on their mental and physical health. We also all witnessed the traumatic effects of COVID-19 on senior living communities, and the steps that these communities had to take to keep people safe – which only caused more unwanted isolation from seniors and their families.
What if there was a better alternative? An alternative that enables seniors to be independent, keep their routines, not pay ridiculously high costs, and give their families peace of mind? Home Remedy Concierge is that alternative.
