Your mom’s doctor determined her recent joint pain is triggered by rheumatoid arthritis. She is going to need help with many aspects of daily living if she’s going to continue to live alone. Have you looked into the different ways companion care at home services can help her?

Errands can be Done by Companion Care at Home Aides

One of the first benefits of companion care is that your mom has someone who can run errands for her or with her. If your mom likes to run errands but can’t go on her own, hire a caregiver to accompany her.

You can also purchase items your mom needs online and have her caregiver pick them up. It’s up to your mom to decide which option best fits her needs.

Friendship

As you age, your mom may find it hard to see her friends often enough. Maybe they moved to other areas where the cost of living is cheaper or to be closer to grandchildren. Whatever the reason, your mom is lonely.

Her caregiver can stop by each day, a few days a week, or weekly and join her for fun outings to movies, museums, or parks. She can ask for a caregiver to join her on walks, help her in the garden, or watch a movie with her.

One of the most popular reasons for having companion care at home aides is to have company while she eats. Your mom hates eating alone, and with a caregiver around, she no longer has to.

Housekeeping

Has your mom been finding it impossible to complete daily housekeeping chores? Her hands don’t grasp things properly, so she can’t wash dishes, vacuum carpeting, and dust furniture. These are all chores that companion care at home aides can do.

Your mom can have her caregiver wash dishes and load the dishwasher. When they’re dry, her caregiver can put everything where it goes. Caregivers can do the laundry, iron clothing, and fold everything before putting it away.

To ensure surfaces are sanitized, hire companion care at home aides to wipe down light switches, doorknobs, counters, sinks, faucet knobs, and toilet handles and seats.

Meals

Your mom has a hard time cooking meals when her fingers are swollen and painful. Arrange meal preparation services and have aides cook meals for your mom. Her caregiver can prepare meals and snacks, talk to her about what she wants to eat during the week, and take her shopping for groceries if she wants.

Transportation

Just because your mom can’t drive doesn’t mean she has to stop going out. Hire home care aides to take your mom to her medical appointments. Your mom’s aide can take her to her hair salon or the local library.

Make a list of the services that your mom will benefit from. From there, go online and arrange a consultation with our companion care at home advisor. You’ll get answers to your mom’s questions and learn more about availability and prices.
