As our loved ones age, their needs may change. While they may cherish their independence, everyday tasks can become more challenging. Carepaks Health Services understands this transition. We've been a trusted partner in home healthcare since 1997, and we're dedicated to providing compassionate care that empowers seniors to live their best lives at home.

A Variety of Home Care Services to Support Your Loved Ones

There's no single solution when it comes to senior care. Carepaks Health Services offers a diverse range of home care services to meet your unique needs. Let's explore some of the most common options:

Personal Care Services

Our certified nursing assistants can provide dignified and supportive care with daily living activities (ADLs) such as:

  • Bathing and Dressing Assistance: Our caregivers can assist with bathing, showering, and grooming, ensuring hygiene and safety while respecting personal modesty. This may include helping with getting in and out of the bathtub or shower, washing hair and body, drying off, and dressing in comfortable clothing.

  • Toileting and Incontinence Care: Caregivers can provide discreet assistance with toileting needs, including helping with using the toilet or dressing aids, and performing personal hygiene tasks. They can also manage incontinence issues by changing adult diapers or assisting with catheters.

  • Mobility Support: For seniors who have difficulty getting around, caregivers can provide assistance with transferring from bed to chair, walking safely with or without a gait belt or walker, and navigating stairs. They can also help with exercises to improve strength and balance.

  • Meal Preparation and Feeding: Caregivers can prepare nutritious meals based on seniors' preferences and dietary restrictions. This may include grocery shopping, cooking, chopping food, and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. They can also help with feeding for seniors who have difficulty eating on their own.

Companion Care Services

Sometimes, social connection is just as important as physical assistance. Our companion caregivers offer companionship and can help with:

  • Engaging Conversation and Activities: Our companion caregivers can be a source of friendly conversation and companionship to help combat loneliness and social isolation. They can engage seniors in favorite hobbies, play games, read books aloud, or simply listen attentively.

  • Light Housekeeping Tasks: Companion caregivers can help with light housekeeping tasks like dusting, vacuuming, laundry folding, and making beds. This can take a burden off seniors and allow them to focus on more enjoyable activities.

  • Medication Reminders: Companion caregivers can provide gentle reminders to take medications on time and according to doctor's instructions. This can be especially helpful for seniors who may have difficulty managing complex medication schedules.

  • Transportation to Appointments: Companion caregivers can provide transportation assistance to doctor's appointments, errands, social outings, or religious services. This can help seniors maintain their independence and continue to participate in activities they enjoy.

Skilled Nursing Care

For seniors with specific medical needs, Carepaks Health Services can connect you with qualified nurses who can provide in-home care, including:

  • Wound Care: Our skilled nurses can assess and manage chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and post-surgical wounds. This includes cleaning wounds, dressing changes, and monitoring for signs of infection.

  • Medication Management: Skilled nurses can administer medications, including injections, intravenous (IV) therapy, and nebulized medications. They can also monitor for side effects and collaborate with doctors to ensure the medication regimen is safe and effective.

  • Pain Management: Skilled nurses can develop and implement pain management plans using a variety of approaches, including medication, positioning, and physical therapy. They can also monitor pain levels and adjust the plan as needed to ensure comfort.

  • IV Therapy: Skilled nurses can insert and manage intravenous (IV) lines to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This can be necessary for seniors who are unable to eat or drink adequately, or who require hydration or medication that cannot be taken orally.
