Health Reminders From Our At Home Elder Care Team in Staten Island, NY

Let us be your senior’s partner in supporting their daily needs to remain healthy and independent

 

Our home caregivers know that providing the RightCare means understanding the importance of protecting your loved one’s health and safety. Throughout all the little moments of everyday living, all on our professional team offer the added trust of knowing that your loved one is receiving the caring concern and timely supervision necessary to remain independent.

Best of all, it’s from someone who understands what is needed in the day-to-day. No harsh directives. No safeguards missed. Sometimes all your senior needs is a gentle nudge to take medication or a “let’s practice this together” to follow a doctor’s order.

What Health Reminders & Monitoring Include

As we age, our independence can be challenged for a number of reasons. Things that were once easy to do become burdensome, and routines, diets, or even the layout of the home may need to change. These challenges and changes can also compile onto the ability to remember simple, but important tasks.

Our home caregivers reduce the risk by keeping an eye out and providing reminders for:

• Medications- We can ensure the right medication and the right amount is taken at the right time and in the right way (IE: if your loved one needs to have a meal beforehand or rest after). Please note that our team is not licensed to administer medications.
• Hygiene/Bathing- We can monitor your loved one as they bathe to ensure they do not fall, are thoroughly washed, and that the water is always the right temperature.
• Blood Sugar/Blood Pressure/Heart Rate- In addition to reminders, we can assist with simple equipment setup as well as record results.
• Exercise- Along with encouraging seniors to move every day, our team can help seniors follow routines provided by physical therapists.
• Meals/Snacks/Nutritional Supplements- Whether they’re required by their doctor or have their own self interest, our team can encourage seniors to stick to healthy diets. They can help them shop for nutritious options, assist with cooking, and ensure that meals are always an event that are looked forward to.
• Fall Prevention Measures- Diet, exercise, and medications play an important role in your senior’s ability to stand and balance themselves. Being able to see your loved one daily means our home caregivers can monitor for fall risks that can occur through living habits. They can also review the home and provide recommendations on arranging it so it is safest for your loved one.
• Stovetop/Burners/Appliances/Electrical Devices- We’ll ensure all are turned off and properly stored away to keep your loved one and their home safe.
• Medical/Dental/Optical/Health Screening Appointments- We can work with family members and doctors to ensure all visits are scheduled and made.
