Our Approach to Home Care in Stewartville

We take an individualized approach to care to make sure each client receives exactly what they need to live more comfortably and fully at home. In order to understand your loved one's needs, and those of your family, we'll walk you through the following:

• The first call - First, contact us to let us know you're interested in exploring care options, provide some details about your situation, and ask about our services and fees. If you're satisfied, we can schedule an initial consultation at no cost. 
• The consultation - We'll visit your loved one at their home to get to know them, evaluate their physical and cognitive condition, and find out more about their living situation. You and any other involved family members can take part in this consultation and ask whatever questions you may have. 
• The care plan - As part of the consultation, we'll work with your family to create a personalized care plan that outlines the type of care your loved one needs and what their custom care schedule would look like. 

Our Personal Care Services 

Personal care is one of the cornerstones of our home care services in Stewartville. This type of care covers all the day-to-day activities that your relative can't manage on their own anymore. Your loved one's caregiver can either take over or help out with the following:

• Creating a meal plan
• Picking up groceries and preparing meals
• Walking and changing locations more comfortably
• Doing basic housework including laundry
• Providing medication reminders
• Driving to medical appointments
• Getting dressed, bathing, and using the restroom

Our Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Services 

For seniors with a degenerative condition like Alzheimer's disease, a comforting and familiar setting can provide much-needed stability. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia may make aging in place seem impossible.

That's why our home care includes specialized services for clients with these conditions. This type of care can include wandering prevention, meal preparation and diet monitoring, medication reminders, transport to appointments, and mentally engaging companionship. 

Companion Care

Speaking of companionship, we offer Companion Care and other services for seniors who are more socially isolated. If your parent doesn't have as many friends in the area as before, or finds it harder to leave the house, we can provide regular companionship to keep their spirits up.

Our caregivers can also offer technical assistance with video chat tools, social media, and other methods of connection throughout our social care program. 

End of Life Care and Palliative Care

To provide comfort for our clients and their families in the face of serious illness or the end of life transition, we offer compassionate End of Life and Palliative Care services.

With End of Life Care, we can create a calm and comforting setting where you can make the most of your remaining time together. This option is available for people with a life expectancy of fewer than six months.

If you or your loved one has a serious illness, our Palliative Care can address the discomfort caused by their condition and its treatments. We also provide spiritual, mental, and social support to help your family seize the joy in every day.

Fall Prevention 

A fall can be a life-altering event for seniors living on their own. We offer the Safe & Steady Fall Prevention program to help reduce fall risk.

We can evaluate your loved one's overall risk and suggest fall-proofing measures for their home. If your relative has mobility issues, we can make sure to include walking assistance in their care plan. 

Hospital Readmission Reduction

Our Ready-Set-Go Home program includes in-person support at the hospital, during the transition, and at home to help lower hospital readmission rates among seniors. The first month poses the greatest risk for complications, so we'll be there to consult with your loved one's medical team, clarify any instructions and discharge procedures, and assist your relative once they return home. 

Respite Care for Family Caregivers

To take the best possible care of your family member, you need to take the best possible care of yourself too. We can provide temporary coverage for your caregiving duties on an ongoing or as needed basis, so you can rest and reconnect with other areas of your life.
