What is Senior Health Care Services?
Senior Healthcare Services Offered By Better Way Home Care
Our senior healthcare services encompass medical and companion care assistance. Some clients will not require medical attention but can benefit from our range of non-medical services, including:
Personal care
Personal care helps with tasks such as bathing, dressing, hygiene, and laundry. When someone cannot manage these independently, it can pose a safety risk.
Companionship
Many older adults are lonely and isolated. Our care companions provide conversation, activities, and the comfort of having someone available to talk to and engage with when needed.
Respite care
Families often provide care in conjunction with our caregivers and need a break to attend to other responsibilities or simply have time away. In other cases, families offer all the care their loved one needs and use our caregivers for time-limited respite.
Foot care
Our nursing staff or home podiatry services can cut toenails and assess for wounds and other foot problems.
Transportation care
When a loved one stops driving, transportation to appointments and preferred activities is challenging. Our care staff can assist by safely driving clients to and from appointments.
Fall prevention
Falls can't be prevented, but our care team can reduce the risk of falls by ensuring a safe home environment and notifying health providers of a change in medical condition.
Medication assistance
Medication misuse can have significant consequences. Caregivers will remind your loved one to take prescribed medications and notify our nurse and the family about any problems.
Stocking assistance
Compression stockings can be almost impossible for older adults to put on without assistance. Our care staff can help someone put on and take off compression stockings, which increase blood flow from the legs to the heart and reduce the chances of developing deep vein thrombosis.
Dementia care
A family member with dementia can be a heartbreaking and exhausting experience. Our specially trained staff can offer respite or ongoing care for a loved one coping with dementia.
Meal preparation
Our caregivers can assist someone struggling to shop and prepare meals, promoting healthy nutrition and hydration. We can ensure people comply with special medical diets such as a diabetic or low-sodium diet.
Light housekeeping
Your loved one may have difficulty keeping up with housekeeping, and our care staff can assist by keeping their home clean and clutter-free.
Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Referral
Home or outpatient occupational and physiotherapy can significantly benefit those who qualify. We can make referrals to trusted professionals.
