Report any change in condition
One of the main reasons for having a caregiver in the home is to make sure that the person that they are taking care of is safe and secure. Our caregivers are trained to watch for and act quickly on what is called a “change in condition”, which means anything that appears out of the ordinary for that particular person. You can rest assured that these changes WILL NOT be ignored or brushed under a rug and that the appropriate person will be notified.

Maintain a safe environment
Safety is a number one concern for both our clients and our caregivers. One main mission for the caregivers is to ensure that the home is safe for their clients and for anyone else who enters it. They can clear walkways and pathways, move cording, check electrical cords and wires, and observe for other safety hazards.

If you or your loved one is having problems remembering to pay the bills, our caregivers can receive and organize the mail so important bills and letters can be taken care of. They will even walk them to the mailbox for you!
