Safety & Senior Wellness

Our team will work to ensure your loved one’s safety and comfort while in their home. Caregivers will create lists of emergency numbers, give seniors personal emergency devices they can then teach them how to use, and will monitor and help seniors remember to take their medication properly*.

Caregivers work to reduce the risk of falls by…

• Installing grab bars and placing nonslip mats in areas of high fall risks
• Ensuring that proper footwear is always worn by seniors
• Maintaining a clean, well lit, and uncluttered home
• Keeping the home organized and all necessary items are within reach
• Ensuring seniors are using walking aids correctly
• Completing activities with a low risk of falls

Mental Health & Senior Wellness

As a part of our at home care services program, caregivers will also help to improve and take care of a senior’s mental health. An active and engaged mind can promote comfort and destress the challenges of aging. For example, caregivers and seniors can partake in activities such as sharing stories, or completing activities such as puzzles, crosswords, and more. Caretakers will even take your loved ones to local events and gatherings.

Open and mindful conversation, as well as listening, are important as your senior faces the challenges and confusing stages of aging. Having an open ear and a supportive caretaker will ease the stress of aging and its many unknowns, benefiting your loved one’s overall mental health.

Senior Wellness & Physical Health

Our team will likewise place an emphasis on your loved one’s physical health and activity. These are an important part of your senior’s overall health, as sitting still all day is not a fulfilling or healthy lifestyle. Caregivers are trained to aid seniors with limited mobility with our physical assistance program to aid movement via canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. If needed, our caregivers will assist your loved one in shifting positions and moving around the house.

For those who are able, at home care services promote safe activities for your loved one to stay active. For example, caregivers will take seniors to local gatherings and events, aid them in hobbies such as scrapbooking, going for walks, gardening, simple exercises, and more.

A well-balanced diet is also essential for a senior’s wellness and health. Caretakers are here to help shop at the grocery store and even prepare and cook a nutritious meal for the day or that week.

Right at Home strives every day to provide your loved ones with a happy, comfortable, and a safe environment. Our services aim to maintain an aging senior with comfort, safety, security, physical health, mental health, and more.
