And more importantly, we are here to remind your loved one of the right medication at the right time. 

 

Grocery Shopping

A nutritious and well-balanced diet is very important. A nurse's aide will shop for your loved one, ensure that they purchase food that meets your loved one's nutritional needs.

 

Meal Preparation

Shopping for nutritious foods is only a part of healthy living. Through our meal preparation services, you can be certain that your loved one will enjoy balanced meals prepared with care and attention to detail.

 

A complete home care plan that includes meal preparation can make certain that your loved one enjoys their senior years in the best possible heath.

Chore Service

While chore activities help your loved one stay active, often they should be performed in a supervised and controlled environment.

 

A well qualified nurse's aide will help frail or disabled persons carry out tasks in a safe manner. As a result, your loved one stays active while we help correct or prevent issues that may affect their health or safety.

 

Homemaking

Everyone needs a helping hand. Some homemaking activities include light housekeeping, laundry, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, changing beds, meal preparation and even menu planning!

 

Laundry Service

Some chores are rather personal and laundry is near the top of the list. Laundry service is designed to help your loved one maintain a sense of dignity. The nurse's aide will not single out any article of clothing and will be glad to wash undergarments.

Medical Escort

Visits to a doctor can be stressful. Especially when they require tasks which can be challenging for seniors and the elderly, like providing accurate information or completing insurance forms.

 

Advocate provides aides that are trained in specialized senior care services, such as accompanying your loved one to doctor and dentist appointments.

Driving Service

Home care aides are licensed and insured to drive your loved one to appointments or run errands. The aides can use their personal vehicles or your loved one's. Either way, you’ll have that comforting peace of mind knowing that your loved one is traveling safely.

 

Respite Care

Everyone needs a break. Care giving is a very demanding and often stressful task that leaves little or no personal time for you. Whenever you need to take a break, we're ready to step in and lend a helping hand.

 

Spiritual Care 

Spiritual Care is a service that provides holistic care-giving to our clients and their families through counseling, spiritual guidance, and positive reinforcement of the integrity and dignity of human life in a cross-cultural and non-denominational fashion. Spiritual Care needs are factored into the comprehensive approach of medical care available to our patients.
