Senior In–Home Care Services

Caring Companionship

Having someone to sit and visit with can help make for a happier life and provides our clients with something to look forward to. Generations’ caring companionship services cover anything from conversation, engaging in hobbies, eating a meal together, or just having someone in the home to visit.

Hygiene & Dressing Guidance

Part of our home care services include reminding and guiding clients toward good hygiene. We can assist the clients with their hygine, including bathing, dressing and undressing in addition to mouth care.

Medication Reminders

Did you know that medication mismanagement is one of the most common causes of hospital admissions? Our caregivers can remind clients to take their medications, report side effects, and assist with pre-measured medication packages to help clients avoid potentially dangerous medication mismanagement. Although our caregivers cannot administer medications, they can remind our clients to take their medication and at the appropriate time.

Family Respite Care

In situations where we provide a respite for a primary family caregiver (e.g. a wife caring for a husband or a daughter caring for her mother), we find that with our help the family relationship can strengthen when one removes the considerable stress that the role of family caregiver can bring. Whether it is a vacation or just a day away, our caregivers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Shopping & Errand Services

A caregiver can run errands such as picking up prescriptions, dry cleaning, or supplies. We also bring clients to appointments and take them grocery shopping, which can be done with or without the client. The client can also specify particular stores and the caregiver can assure compliance with prescribed diets. Caregivers can take clients wherever they need or want to go. More than just maintaining independence, social stimulation is therapeutic as well.

Meal Preparation

As part of our care services, a Generations’ caregiver will prepare a nutritious meal and clean up afterwards. The opportunity to eat regular, healthy meals can maintain strength and hydration, promote recovery, and assure appropriate absorption of medications.

Light Housekeeping

Generations can assist with vacuuming, dusting, cleaning floors, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning kitchens, taking out the trash, straightening rooms, organizing closets and drawers.

Our clients need not worry about sorting through the myriad of junk mail we all seem to get these days. Our caregivers sit down with clients and assist in sorting the important mail such as bills and can provide reminders for when bills are due.

Laundry Services

Washing clothes and linens can be a strenuous activity. Generations can wash, dry, fold, iron and put away a client’s laundry for them, alleviating physical stress.

Family Care Plan Review

Keeping the family informed of the caregiver plan and answering any questions is a cornerstone of Generations Home Care services. We want everyone to feel comfortable with the home care situation and keeping the lines of communication open is key. Whether you live in the same town or are on the opposite coast, Generations will make sure to keep in touch with the family on a consistent basis.

Recreational Activities

Generations' caregivers can take the client out to enjoy their favorite activities or stay in the home and play a hand of cards or a board game. We want our clients to remain engaged and to maintain the hobbies and activities they’ve always enjoyed.
