Long-distance care-giving can be a particularly challenging task. How do you really know what’s going on? You can ask, sure. But hearing “I’m fine” doesn’t provide a lot of information. And you have to trust that you’re hearing the whole story. Really the only time you have to assess the situation is when you visit, which depending on the distance between you two, might not be very often.

Home Help Companions would like to offer a few things to look out for when you do visit. Check the stove top, is it dusty? This would mean your parent is no longer cooking for themselves. Check the fridge and pantry. Is the food beyond the expiration date? If it is then your parent may not be shopping regularly and suggests a lower coping mechanism. Also check the bathroom. Is the shower wet, or the towels? Fewer showers is a sign your loved one may not be managing very well. If you see signs that suggest they are no longer caring for themselves as well they should than you may want to take some action. Senior care issues often take families by surprise. Instead of trying to figure it out alone, Home Help Companions can help guide the way.

You can talk to neighbors and have them contact you if there’s a problem. Or you can call Home Help Companions for Personal Support Services. Our caregivers can do grocery shopping, light housekeeping during the week and ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living). It’s important to assess the situation and address it as early as possible. Change is never easy for your parent but making sure they are well cared for is essential. So this may mean you have to stand up to them, this takes courage, but it must be done. Once you see signs that one system is failing (no longer cooking or cleaning for example) you can assume that more systems are failing as well (no longer socializing). All of these things will determine the amount of care needed.

Can the required care be done long distance? Will you need to move your parent closer to your home? All of these things cause stress and reasons to worry. Only you will be able to determine what the right answer is, but the sooner you begin the easier it is to make changes before things get too far out of hand. Ultimately you want to have your parent live the best life they can safely manage and get or provide care for the areas they can’t manage. Communication is key and having an honest conversation can address many of these issues.

If you or anyone you know needs assistance with Personal Support Services, Home Help Companions can provide help. We will listen to your needs and help select personalized care options, so you can make informed decisions about what’s best for your aging loved one.

Home Help Companions Senior Care Consultants can offer no obligation FREE consultation, so call us today at 706-305-3533 or toll free at 888-351-6282. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Donate Hand-Warmers for our front-line troops in Afghanistan

“Operation Hand-Warmer” is a drive to collect hand-warmers for our front-line troops in Afghanistan, a rugged country which traditionally experiences bitterly cold winters.

The drive is designed to supplement standard military issued clothing and supplies, specifically for those who have to do hand-related tasks requiring dexterity in combat zones.

Home Help Companions offer several benefits to assist you family with in home care decisions.  First, we offer Tier Levels of care for your family to choose from. Depending on the skill sets your family member may need, we feature CNA I for companions/sitter, CNA II for intermediate care and CNA III for those that are medically frail.  Each skill level of care features specific support features to assist your family member to enjoy the best in their quality of care.  All of our Tier Levels are explained, with the services available at each level on our website, www.homehelpcompanions.com.  This offers the family the chance to see and understand the scope of services they can anticipate for their loved ones.

Home Help Companions conducts an extensive interview process, to ‘vet’ our potential caregivers, to ensure the quality, skills and experience they offer to our clients.  We endeavor to make our caregivers part of your family with the opportunity to have the same caregiver partner with your loved one on a weekly base.  This helps ensure continuity of care and to develop a working partnership with the caregiver, the client and the family.

Our caregivers communicate daily with the nursing and management team of Home Help Companions electronically to ensure that changes in condition, behavior or progress can be shared with the family in “real time”.   The family has access to this information and we can immediately share suggestions to adjust the care plan for your loved ones, to maximum quality of life in their own home or apartment, therefore extending their independence.

Our services are flexible and can be arranged for as little as twelve hours a week or as many as 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Our Caregivers can help with a wide range of activities including companionship, meal planning, preparation, and clean-up, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, errands, shopping, pet care, as well as escort to and from appointments and events. Home Help Companions Personal Support Workers and Certified Nursing Assistants can also assist with mobilization and personal care needs if required.

Thank you again for considering us. We are aware you have choices and we are committed to keeping your trust through excellent service.  Please call for more information at 706-305-3533 or toll free at 888-351-6282.  Home Help Companions can help and we look forward to becoming part of your family.
