• The door to physical health

When we open the door into your home, we open these as well. It is an integral part of the quality home care assistance offered to seniors and their families in Brooklyn, NY.

Physical Health & Senior Wellness

While moving around can get trickier as we age, that isn’t a call to remain still. Our caregivers can include activities in your loved one’s care plan that encourage healthy movement. This can include a light exercise program or joining the senior as they undertake a favorite hobby such as gardening or going on walks.

Seniors with limited mobility can also get the help they need in the form of transferring and positioning around the home. We can support the use of walking aids such as a wheel chair or a cane as part of our physical assistance program.

Getting the nutrients you need every day is another essential part to remaining physically healthy. This is why our caregivers can accompany your loved one to the grocery store or farmers market, and work alongside them to prepare a healthy meal for the day or week.

Mental Health & Senior Wellness

In addition to exercising the body, it is important to exercise the mind. This means our home care assistance team will promote projects that keep them engaged, like puzzles or scrapbooking. They can also join your senior in meaningful conversation about current events or fun stories from the past. Your loved one’s caregiver can even drive them to any local club meetings and other social events.

Quality home care and a healthy mental state also means helping seniors manage their stress levels. Aging is a time of many questions, concerns, and reflection. We can be there to provide words of inspiration, create them a space to meditate, or even just simply listen to their worries and let them know someone has their back.

Safety & Senior Wellness

Being able to remain safe in the home is critical to preserving a high quality life. Our caregivers can do this by…

• Promoting activities that reduce the risk of falls
• Providing medication reminders and ensuring they are taken properly*
• Providing safe transportation to various local destinations
• Ensuring the home is well lit and void of dirt and clutter
• Ensuring the home is organized so frequently used items are within reach without the use of a step stool or ladder
• Ensuring areas of the home with high fall risks have nonslip mats or grab bars
• Ensuring seniors are wearing proper footwear and are correctly using walking aids
• Creating a list of emergency numbers, or helping seniors work with personal emergency response devices
