Senior Companion Care Richmond
Home Remedy Concierge is devoted to delivering the finest in-home assistance and daily care for seniors in Richmond and the surrounding areas.
– SHOULD YOU CHOOSE US?
Why Is Senior Companion Care Great For You?
Senior companion care is as convenient an option as any for seniors who understandably chose to remain in their own homes rather than moving to a care facility. It allows seniors to have their own independence but provides assistance with day-to-day living if needed.
Senior companion care is also perfect for families of seniors, as it allows them to feel reassured about their loved one’s safety. It can be an ordeal for both the younger relatives and seniors to find a happy medium that allows for plenty of senior independence, but enough assistance that both parties are happy. Since families don’t often live close together anymore, that distance only makes it more difficult to see eye-to-eye to decide where seniors should live.
Home Remedy Concierge is excited to aid you in every aspect of this strenuous process. Aging can be stressful, and we have all the resources in place to ensure our clients are as comfortable as possible. Knowing that their elderly loved ones are safe and taken care of can also provide peace of mind for families.
– 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
Committed and Highly-Skilled Staff
Helping our clients with their daily household and/or personal tasks for us is a piece of cake, because all our staff are highly trained as Personal Care Assistants (PCA).
We’re also aware of the possibility that seniors’ families won’t always be able to visit as often as one may like, so on top of helping with day-to-day tasks, our personnel always try to offer friendship and emotional support to seniors – things that can’t ever put a price on.
– WHY GO WITH SENIOR COMPANION CARE?
The Advantages of Staying in Your Home Are Endless
Seniors have a variety of possibilities for where they can live. They can arrange to live in their own homes; they can join their families; they can experience assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Of course, for many, living in one’s own home sounds like the ideal choice, but it can often feel emotionally overwhelming, physically draining, and often lonely.
This is where Home Remedy Concierge thrives. Our mission lies in providing the best, energetic, and reliable care and assistance to seniors in the Richmond region. We want to make sure that seniors can remain independent in their own homes, while feeling at ease and safe about the whole situation.
There are a myriad of benefits for seniors when they remain in their own homes, rather than being taken to a care facility. Getting older can be incredibly stressful for many, especially when it comes to losing certain freedoms that your body and mind grew accustomed to throughout your life. That decline in self-reliance to do certain tasks can surely feel debilitating, and it probably contributes to seniors ending up in nursing homes and similar facilities.
Those changes, of course, affect seniors, but also their families, as they too must make adjustments to their lives in order to help out. The “sandwich generation,” parents typically in their 30s – 50s, often have high stress levels trying to raise their own children while also caring for their elderly parents.
It’s also pretty typical these days for families to live quite far from one another, in different towns, and often even several states removed. Coming to an agreement on which living option is best for the senior only becomes more complicated due to the distance between the family.
Nursing homes and similar care facilities can be valid options sometimes, however, the expenses can get very high and that’s not something everyone can afford. Aside from the high expenses, elderly people react very differently to moving into an unfamiliar environment. Oftentimes, these transitions can even lead to depression or worse.
On top of that, we all saw the devastating steps taken by senior care facilities to keep the elderly safe during the pandemic – and that forced isolation of seniors caused a plethora of problems for seniors and their families alike.
Thank goodness there’s another way. A way that not only gives your wallet a break, but focuses on giving seniors independence, letting them keep their regular routines, and gives you peace of mind knowing that your elderly loved one is safe. Home Remedy Concierge is here to help.
