Seniors Helping Seniors (Thames Valley) Ltd

Our caregivers can assist with light housekeeping services that include cleaning kitchens, dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, cleaning bathrooms, taking out the rubbish and recycling, cleaning interior windows that can be reached without a ladder, organizing cupboards and drawers, and general tidying around the home.

If you’re only in need of a little help, you and your caregiver can prepare meals as a team, or go to the shops together. If you’re in need of more assistance, your caregiver can go to the supermarket and cook meals for you on their own.

Pets can be extremely important to a senior’s mental, emotional, and physical health. Nevertheless, caring for a pet can become more challenging with age. Our caregivers can help ensure that pets are getting the attention they need to stay healthy and happy; by feeding and grooming pets, and taking dogs on walks.

Our in-home senior care services can include the tackling of simple handyman projects and minor repairs. If a particular service is beyond what our caregiver can handle, they may be able to give some insight on what’s involved and the type of service person to contact.

While fresh air and sunlight can do wonders for a senior’s outlook, too much gardening can become taxing. Our caregivers can assist with mowing, weeding, and other outdoor projects. Seniors can participate to whatever degree they are interested and able.

Staying on top of correspondence becomes more challenging as we age. Our caregivers can help get cards, letters, and bills in the mail as requested by a senior.

Falls can be very serious for seniors. Our caregivers look for potential tripping hazards and other injury risks when they visit a senior’s home, and can make corrections or recommend that a service provider is contacted.

Getting out to visit with friends, attend events, or keep appointments is great for a senior’s mental, emotional, and physical health. When a senior is unable to make trips on their own, our caregivers can provide transportation to things like doctor visits, hairdressers or barbers appointments, social functions, family gatherings, etc.

In addition to grocery shopping, our caregivers can run a variety of errands including dropping off mail or parcels at the post office, getting prescriptions and other necessities at the pharmacy, picking up dry cleaning, shopping for pet food, and more. You’re always welcome to ride along if you’d enjoy an easy, enjoyable trip around town!

If you are wanting to get out and about for any reason, our caregivers can provide transportation to and from a destination. We can take a trip to a park, catch a movie, enjoy a concert, or even just go on a nice, casual ride around town.

Caring for a loved one with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can be very challenging and can result in burnout of even the most devoted family member over time. Our caregivers are trained in how to recognize the different stages of these conditions, manage difficult behaviors, and keep family members and healthcare caregivers up to date on the senior’s condition.

For family members who live a long distance from their loved one and are unable to visit them often, our caregivers can connect with them on a regular basis to provide updates on a senior’s physical health, cognitive condition, and overall wellness.

Our in-home senior support services are available every day of the week, and every hour in the day, even overnight. That includes 24-hour support if needed.
