Modern Day Home Health Care

Medication Assistance – Chilliwack – Surrey – Fraser Valley

Medication safety is one of our primary goals in providing safe and competent care for you or your family member. Common concerns with medications revolve around medication safety. There are many instances when medication errors can occur due to personal health challenges that some clients may face. A decline in memory, polypharmacy (multiple medications) or an inability to crush and swallow medications are just a few examples of the hardships that can arise when dealing with medication. Ultimately, what ends up happening is that clients may forget to take their medications, take the wrong dose (too much, or not enough), or even end up taking the wrong medication. By preventing these medication errors, the risk of being hospitalized is significantly reduced! Medication safety and compliance will help keep you well in your home and out of the hospital.

Meal Preparation – Chilliwack, Surrey, And Fraser Valley

There can be no greater simple joy than sharing a cup of coffee or tea with someone who will lend an attentive ear. Or tucking into a meal prepared by someone who cares, who has selected the ingredients for that perfect meal with an attention to detail and flavored with those most valuable of spices, affection and tenderness.

It is often said that it is the small things in life that count for the most – and for seniors who may not have access to companionship, a home caregiver will provide that with every meal. A vase of flowers on a table, a smile – these are the details of everyday life that lift up our spirits.

These are only some of the reasons that more and more people are choosing home-based care for their loved ones. Too often the experience at a nursing home can be characterized by an impersonal approach – when what is required to maintain the dignity of the elderly is an open heart and a sympathetic ear.

For those who have reached a point in their lives when so much has been taken from them, partners, friends and a sense of self-worth the preparation of a good meal and the companionship provided by a home caregiver can mean the difference between a rewarding quality of life and one that is filled with regret and loneliness.

However, a caregiver also provides a sense of purpose. For those of the elderly who have prized their independence, it can be devastating to be faced with increasing challenges when faced with a task as simple as shopping for groceries. A caregiver restores a sense of independence and self-worth by making those tasks part of a normal day- and free of the stress that of the elderly experience when faced by the sometimes-intimidating modern world.

Meal preparation is a service that is provided by caregivers, but a meal can be a lonely experience when not shared. Home care provides that opportunity for the elderly to share, to laugh and to know that someone will be there to lend a helping hand or a sympathetic ear. That is nourishment for the soul.
