Our Available Services
One-on-one senior care services and personalized visitations
Friends for Life offers flexible in-home senior care assistance with an emphasis on personalized, one-on-one visitations that offer real interaction and are customized to provide exactly what you need.
Personalized visits can bridge the gap because they are designed to be interactive and flexible to keep up with your changing needs. As a result, caregivers become extended family, helping each client in their environment and keeping the family abreast and involved. Friends for Life strives to support both the client and the family.
So whether taking your dad fishing, walking with your mom through the park, accompanying your loved one to activities or helping get them acclimated into a new setting (i.e. assisted living or nursing home), you get to create the experience.
What We Offer
Personal Care
As people age, they often develop health conditions that make the simplest activities difficult or impossible to perform. For example, washing and brushing their hair, using the bathroom, or getting showered and dressed can become much more challenging. We can provide the senior care services and assistance needed to help senior clients do all the basic tasks they need to keep them healthy and happy including medication reminders.
Companionship
The needs of our senior clients often extend beyond medical care. Those who live alone long for companionship that will help alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression. Our caregivers provide companionship to clients in all types of situations. For example, they may just need someone with them in their home, or they may require a chaperone during their outdoor ventures. Regardless of the need, our caregivers provide senior home care activities that keep clients engaged and entertained.
Diet & Meal Assistance
Getting the proper nutrition is essential and holds especially true for someone who is elderly, dealing with an illness or injury, or trying to recover. Our non-medical senior home care services can include menu planning and meal preparation that meets our client's specific dietary needs. We can also provide transportation and accompaniment to the grocery store and assist with shopping.
Housekeeping
Most people with a loss of mobility or suffering from symptoms of a severe illness cannot keep up with basic household cleaning chores. We understand our clients' limitations and the need to maintain a clean home and a sanitary living environment. As part of our senior care plans, our companions can provide light housekeeping and laundry services to ensure a clean and healthy living environment.
Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care
We provide ongoing education in caring for seniors who suffer from symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Those at all stages of these diseases can benefit from games and exercises designed to engage their memory. Our caregivers can perform several activities to help our clients retain their memory to keep them engaged and happy longer.
Accompaniment Assistance
Many seniors who rely on Friends for Life for senior home care assistance still need to go places away from home. Our caregivers will not only accompany them to medical appointments but also to shop, have lunch with a friend, or go sightseeing for a day out of the house! They provide professional and safe accompaniment services that help our clients promptly get where they need to go. In addition, we can assist with airport arrivals and departures.
24-Hour & Live-In Care
Senior clients who require 24-hour home care assistance or live-in senior home care typically need a deeper level of care than those who can do some things for themselves. Our caregivers are available 24/7 to maintain the home and develop a consistent routine to support our clients' needs and ability to have enhanced quality of life in their home. Additionally, our live-in support offers many unique advantages for clients requiring round-the-clock care at an affordable rate.
Family Respite Care
It isn’t unusual for a relative or spouse to take on the role of caregiver for a loved one. Families often rely on us for respite home care services when they have other life responsibilities or just need a break to take care of themselves. Our caregivers will provide your loved ones with the care they require while you take a much needed break.
