Our In-Home Companion Care Services
Our quality companion caregiver services create a caring, comfortable home environment. Our experienced senior care team customizes service plans to meet the specific needs of each senior client. Plans are tailored to assist seniors with activities of daily living, helping them stay healthy and happy in their own homes. Below are some of the key services we offer:
Light Housekeeping Services
Our light housekeeping services assist seniors in tackling routine tasks around the home including laundry, changing bed linens, tidying, and cleaning up regularly used rooms. These services are essential for many reasons including:
- Keeping senior’s homes comfortable and relieving the stress related to household chores.
- Promotes physical safety by preventing fall hazards and reducing health risks from allergens and germs.
- A clean, organized home positively impacts mental health.
- Seniors can spend more time on hobbies and social activities rather than household chores.
Mobility Assistance
Blakeford’s experienced staff provides mobility assistance to seniors who face challenges with walking in or around their homes. This service enables seniors to age in place safely, and gives them the ability to move freely through their homes with help from our compassionate caregivers.
Mobility assistance also empowers seniors by providing a higher level of independence, enabling them to perform activities of daily living while reducing their risk for a fall. It also significantly improves quality of life by encouraging social engagement and physical activity, both of which have a huge impact on seniors’ well-being.
In-Home Meal Preparation Assistance
As seniors age, meal preparation and kitchen duties may become a challenge. Our team can assist with light, in-home meal preparation services, kitchen and refrigerator clean-up, as well as grocery shopping or picking up a prepared dish from a favorite eatery.
We also strive to help clients meet their nutritional needs by ensuring senior’s diets are well-balanced and align with any health-related restrictions. We can also assist with weight management goals to keep them healthy.
When enjoying nutritious, regular meals, seniors are much more likely to feel energetic and active, which is an ideal outcome for in-home care programs.
