Home Care

As our bodies and minds age, we may need assistance with basic tasks or medical care. If you or a loved one is struggling to care for themselves or their home, we can help. Getting dressed, taking care of laundry, or remembering medication can be difficult in older adults, which can lead to stress on the children or grandchildren of the elder. Working with a caregiver can help family members have peace of mind about their elderly loved one. Adult children and grandchildren will have their own jobs and families to care for, in addition to the worries about their parent/grandparent. That is why Comfort Home Care offers our services to anyone needing a little extra help.  

Comfort Home Care specializes in providing assistance for the elderly in the Southeast Idaho area. No matter what services you need, our team treats every client with care and compassion. We can help aid with simple tasks or more complex cases that need medical and transportation services assistance. 

Companionship

Widows or widowers may benefit from the companionship of a caregiver or family member more than you realize. Comfort Home Care provides companionship for our patients that will help them feel less alone and avoid issues like depression or withdrawal from family. Companionship is an essential part of the human experience, so in addition to necessary care, our team can help build a friendship with your elder.

Errands & Grocery Shopping

Traveling and navigating a grocery store or healthcare appointment becomes more difficult for seniors. Mobility issues, eyesight, and hearing may make errands and shopping more difficult. Our caregivers will help take elders to appointments, meetings, and grocery stores to help keep them safe and feel more secure. Caregivers will help shop for groceries, household items, or specialty items needed for enhanced hygiene. 

Meal Preparation

One of the tasks that we can help with includes meal preparation and planning. Creating a shopping list, planning out specific means that are nutritious, and choosing meals that the patient loves are things that caregivers are happy to do. During grocery shopping or weekly meetings, meal plans can be made that suit the condition and lifestyle of the patient.

Housekeeping

Cleaning and housekeeping tasks can fall by the wayside for elderly homeowners, especially if they struggle to get around or have recently had a fall or surgery. Caregivers can handle tasks like laundry, dusting, vacuuming, toilet cleaning, and taking out the trash. Light housekeeping will be handled by our team so that patients can handle other tasks around the home that are easier for them. Maintaining independence is important for seniors who want to remain living in their home, but may just need some light assistance that family members are unable to provide.

Medication Reminders

Health issues, recent surgeries, and weaker bodies require medication in order to keep the body healthy. Elderly patients often need to take tons of medications each day to keep them healthy, which can get overwhelming. Caregivers will help keep track of what medications your loved one is on, when they take them, and how often they need medication. Blood pressure, multi-vitamins, pain pills, muscle relaxers, or mental health medication are just a few that can be managed by our team. 

Non-medical Support

Not all patients will need medical reminders or support for medical devices. Our team can help with mobility, reach, and other daily tasks that will make living easier. Even if your family member is independent, we can help with smaller tasks like cleaning a large home or technology help that can be frustrating for seniors. 

Transportation Assistance

Eyesight problems, hearing loss, or muscle weakness can lead to a person being unfit to drive. Home caregivers can help transport patients to different appointments, family houses, or to the grocery store safely. Limit accidents, concerns of public transportation, and improper driving by elderly patients by allowing a caregiver to handle transportation. 

Working With Comfort Home Care

Comfort Home Care helps our patients to thrive in their own spaces, without putting more stress on family or neighbors. Our process starts with a consultation with the patient and family members to discuss their needs and how many visits they may require. This consultation will help us determine the best personalized care plan for each patient. We will then provide you with a quote for the services we feel fit best with the patient’s needs. Comfort Home Care may also make suggestions on additional services or how care might change over time. 

In-home care will help elders age in place and feel more comfortable about getting older and handling household responsibilities. Our team will visit the patient’s home daily or multiple times a day to help with small cleaning tasks, medication distribution, meal planning, and much more. Take care of your loved ones without putting your life on pause and reach out to Comfort Home Care.
