Care & companionship

We provide assistance for clients in their home, assisted living, or skilled facility.  We will tailor a detailed program based on the current needs and preferences of the client, and continuously adapt our individualized service plan (ICP) as the client’s needs evolve.

Home and Personal Care

Recent studies have shown that in-home care is not only more affordable than opting for nursing home care, but it also provides a higher level of safety and happiness to the elderly as they feel more comfortable in their own home.

From personal assistance with bathing and dressing, to senior companion care to fight isolation and loneliness, to support with housekeeping, errands and transportation services, sometimes just a little extra help at home can make all the difference. We also offer around-the-clock, live-in care for those who need that extra level of support in the comfort of their own home.

At 1 Call Away we understand that people are happiest and healthiest where they are most comfortable–in their homes. We offer a range of in-home care services so they can confidently live life to the fullest, at home.

 

In addition to seniors, we proudly provide wholehearted in-home care and support services to people of all ages and abilities. Whether you or your loved one is living with a disability or chronic condition, recovering from cancer, illness or surgery, or are a new or expectant mother, we provide full in-home caregiver support for fuller lives.

Companionship

Companion care services offer emotional support; socialization and the assistance adults need to manage daily tasks.

In addition to practical help with everyday non-medical activities, our personalized companion care services offer emotional support, conversation and meaningful relationships that are built on trust and respect. On top of that, the company’s senior companion experts assist with household tasks from grocery shopping and meal preparation to ensuring clients take their medication on time.

 

  • Hygiene, Bathing, Dressing, Grooming, Exercise:

As part of the initial evaluation, we will determine the client’s preferred routine for daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene, at all levels, whether it be verbal reminders or extensive hands-on care. Because we are guests in our clients’ homes, we want to honor preferences, routines, and traditions, as maintaining a sense of normalcy is vital. Have there been, falls or trips to the ER?  Let us help ensure that your loved one is maintaining day to day activities and can remain safely at home. Caregivers could even assist clients to continue physical therapy exercises in order to maintain mobility and reduce the risk of falls. 

  • Nutrition, Hydration and Homemaking:

Are you concerned about special diet needs, weight loss following doctors’ orders? Our Caregivers can assist with the daily tasks of meal planning, preparation, fluid intake and ensuring a clean, healthy home environment. While we aren’t dieticians, we can follow basic dietary guidelines when preparing food like “no added salt”, “low carbohydrates”, fluid restrictions, or avoiding foods that are contraindicated with certain medications. We will also help with daily/weekly household chores like laundry, dishes, vacuuming, taking the garbage to the curb, etc. We believe that a healthy client needs a healthy environment.  

  • Errands, Activities and Doctor Appointments: Let us help with grocery shopping (includes ordering curbside), trips to the pharmacy and physicians’ offices. We also provide assistance with errands, personal shopping, social outings, exercise routines and gym visits, club activities, movies, and other meaningful activities in the home. As appropriate, our Caregivers can even help facilitate virtual family visits for relatives. 
  • Medication Reminders:

Are medications being taken at the correct times, or at all? The #1 reason people move into facilities is inability to take medications per doctors’ orders. Our Caregivers can remind clients to take medications correctly, assist them to reorder, and pick up from the pharmacy.
