Supporting seniors this winter

January and February are the busiest months of the year in senior home care, for many reasons.

 We see a spike in families reaching out to us who may have noticed their parents’ physical, mental or emotional health seemed compromised over the holidays. Seniors who had busy homes filled with family now look around empty, lonely houses.

The dead of winter is also when seniors are more vulnerable to falls, depression due to the isolating weather, difficulty getting dressed for the elements, or maybe missing medication.

We tell people this is a turning point they can lean into to prevent these things from happening. We want to raise awareness, not fear. A care plan can start as simple as a couple hours a week of someone receiving support and companionship from an over-50 caregiver who is a peer to them.

 We help shift from a reactive plan to one that’s proactive and sustainable in the long term, establishing personalized relationships that feel supportive. 

Non-medical home-care services we provide range from safety and fall prevention to medication reminders, long-distance check-ins, daily living needs like getting dressed, running errands, transportation to appointments, companionship socialization, meal prep, shopping, light housekeeping, yard work and pet care. Let’s start the year ensuring safety, confidence and peace of mind for you and your loved one.
