– COULD WE BE RIGHT FOR YOU?
What Are You Looking For In Home Senior Care?
Senior companion care is a suitable option for seniors who prefer to remain in the comfort of their own homes rather than moving to a care facility. Senior companion care is a perfect option for seniors that value their independence but do require assistance with some daily chores here and there.
A huge positive of senior companion care is that the families of the seniors don’t have to worry if their loved ones are all right. Many seniors want independence, while many younger relatives want the reassurance that their elderly loved ones are safe – finding that happy medium can be tough. It’s important for younger relatives to know their elderly are being taken care of, especially due to the fact that many families live far from one another these days.
Home Remedy Concierge is here to help on every side of the spectrum. Supporting our clients through the difficulties of aging is our specialty, and we have all the resources to do so. Families feel reassured knowing their elderly relatives are safe, healthy, and enjoying their time.
– 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
Energized and Specialized Staff
The personnel at Home Remedy Concierge are trained to be Personal Care Assistants (PCA), meaning we are all highly trained and devoted to help our clients with their household and/or personal tasks.
We’re also mindful of the fact that families won’t always be able to visit their elderly relatives, so our staff happily take their care to the next level by providing friendship and emotional support to seniors.
– WHY SENIOR COMPANION CARE?
The Pros of Your Home Outweigh the Cons of a Facility
There are a few different alternatives when it comes to where seniors can live. They can decide to live in their own homes; they can join their families; they can also arrange to live in assisted living facilities or nursing homes. No doubt, the thought of living in one’s own home certainly has great appeal, however, it can often feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely.
This is where Home Remedy Concierge can be rewarding. We are steadfast in providing reliable, energetic, and understanding care and assistance to seniors in the Newport News area. Our goal is to ensure that seniors feel unworried about remaining in their own homes, while keeping their independence and accustomed routines.
The benefits of seniors remaining in their own homes heavily outweigh moving to a care facility. Aging is certainly a stressful process, both on the body and mind – especially when it gets to the point where you lose certain freedoms you’ve been used to your whole life. That gradual loss of self-support can unquestionably be demoralizing, and it probably plays a role in seniors ending up in nursing homes or other similar facilities.
These life transitions don’t only affect seniors; many times, they can affect the senior’s family members as well. The so-called “sandwich generation,” who has to split their time between caring for elderly parents and raising their own children, experiences extremely high stress levels. Oftentimes, elderly parents don’t live that close to their children. Choosing what living option is best for the senior only gets more difficult due to this physical distance.
We’re not saying that nursing homes or similar care facilities aren’t good options, but the reality is that they’re extremely expensive and not everyone will be able to afford them. Even if you don’t consider the high costs, the mental impact on seniors when moving to an unfamiliar environment can be quite serious, which may lead to worse problems such as depression and loneliness.
This past year and a half also shed light on the possible dangers of living in senior group homes, as the pandemic caused many facilities to take devastating steps to keep patients safe.
But there has to be another alternative, right? An alternative that focused on giving seniors their independence, let them keep the routines that make them happy, was affordable, and gave their families that much desired peace of mind knowing their loved one was looked after. Home Remedy Concierge is here to help.
