In-Home Senior Care in Frederick, MD
Living at home for as long as possible is their top priority for most seniors, but the natural aging process can make that difficult over time. We provide in-home senior care services that can help your loved one age in place safely. Each one of our care services is provided with an interactive approach. Our interactive caregiving philosophy transforms daily caregiving into opportunities for meaningful interactions. This includes regular conversation and activities that engage seniors mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally. From helping with personal care routines to cooking fresh meals, our in-home caregivers can lend a helping hand.
How Comfort Keepers Can Help
As with all of our services, we aim to maintain a high level of personal dignity and respect for our seniors at all times. Our in-home companionship and personal care services also include:
- Grooming and Hygiene Maintenance: Our goal is to help our clients with their care routines to look and feel good about themselves. There are many benefits for seniors' self-esteem and emotional well-being when they regularly bathe and brush their hair. For seniors who are afraid of falling in the shower, our caregivers can help.
- Mobility Assistance: Falls can have significant physical and emotional consequences for seniors. Our caregivers can reduce the risk of falling by offering mobile assistance when needed.
- Transferring and Positioning: Our caregivers can help seniors move around their homes safely. Being in the proper position and moving safely can contribute to lowering the risk of bedsores. In addition, it can help seniors with their breathing and digestion.
- Toileting and Incontinence Care: While this can be a sensitive topic for many seniors, it is crucial to have the proper help to reduce the risk of health issues. This can include skin infections, unpleasant odors, and general hygiene problems.
- Nutrition and Meal Prep: Eating a nutritious diet impacts the overall well-being of seniors and can decrease the risk of common health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Our caregivers can help seniors prepare healthy meals and teach them.
- Companionship: Seniors who stay socially engaged are generally happier than those who isolate themselves. We provide seniors with conversation and company during their favorite activities to ensure they always have a friend to confide in.
- Laundry and Light Housekeeping: As seniors age, it can be challenging to move around and lift things safely. Our caregivers can help with vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, and laundry to ensure that your loved one's home is always kept tidy.
- Transportation: Getting around can be difficult for seniors, especially if they cannot drive themselves. Our caregivers can help seniors attend doctor's appointments and social events on time.
Specialized In-Home Care Services
We offer specialized in-home care services for seniors with more unique concerns. We train our caregivers in Alzheimer's and dementia, infectious diseases, and health monitoring. Our specialized care services include:
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
It's vital for seniors with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia to stay actively involved in their communities. Staying socially and physically active improves a senior's well-being but can also slow down the progression of dementia. Our caregivers are trained to help seniors with cognitive decline maintain their care, offer reminders to take medication, memory exercises, and much more.
24-Hour care
Seniors who need constant care can still live in the comfort of their own homes. Our caregivers will go to your loved ones' homes to help them with whatever they need, day or night. This could be especially beneficial for seniors who wake up frequently throughout the night or wander. Having an around-the-clock caregiver can also prevent potential hazards and falls in the home.
Post-Hospital Care
Recovering from surgery or hospitalization can be daunting for seniors, especially those living alone. Our caregivers can help seniors recover safely in their homes by reminding them to take their medications on time, tend to any surgical wounds, and help them get to follow-up appointments.
End-of-Life Care
We offer empathetic end-of-life care services for seniors who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Many people believe seniors must live out their final days in a nursing home or assisted living facility to ensure comfort. However, many seniors would prefer to continue life at home for as long as possible. Our caregivers can help seniors and their loved ones through difficult times by offering support with light housekeeping, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and companionship.
Respite Care
When you need to take some time to run errands or go on a vacation, our caregivers can step in and care for your loved one for however long is required. We can help seniors with household chores, personal care, transportation, and medication reminders to ensure they are safe and comfortable at all hours of the day.
Veterans Care
Veterans can qualify for in-home assistance, where our caregivers can help them with their daily tasks and offer companionship. Spouses of veterans can also be eligible for respite care so that they can take a well-deserved break.
