HomeLife Care goal is to assist our clients with their personal care routines so they can look and feel their best. Our services enhance clients mental and physical wellbeing, helping them feel positive about their appearance. Mobility Assistance
Getting out and about offers many physical and mental health benefits to clients, including lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk for heart problems, osteoporosis, and depression. Being active also can also help improve their quality of life by controlling weight and improving sleep. HomeLife Care caregivers assist clients as needed with getting from place to place to help them stay as active as possible. Transferring and Positioning
Our HomeLife Care caregivers are trained to safely move clients in and out of beds, into chairs or wheelchairs, or onto toilets. Proper transferring and positioning in and out of beds and chairs can reduce the risk of bedsores, reduce weakening and stiffening of muscles, and encourage proper breathing and digestion. It also helps them be as comfortable as possible. Toileting and Incontinence Care
Many clients may feel embarrassed with needing help with toileting and incontinence care, but it is actually a common issue. Incontinence can be caused by a variety of reasons, including stress and disease. When clients don’t have help, skin infections, unpleasant odors, and general hygiene problems can be a danger, not to mention lead to even more embarrassment. We step in to compassionately and sensitively assess the problem and make a care plan, helping clients maintain dignity and self-esteem as they receive help with the more personal aspects of daily living. Feeding and Special Diet
Eating well is important at every life stage and even small dietary improvements can make a positive impact on how someone feels. A variety of nutritional problems can arise. Some clients have difficulty feeding themselves especially seniors. Others have problems with chewing and digestion, difficulty tasting and smelling, or experience a loss of appetite. Many clients simply do not want to eat alone. Our HomeLife Care caregivers help certain clients stay on prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide variety of medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Our caregivers also help clients eat nutritious diets to promote disease prevention, healing, and healthy living. We make an extra effort to turn meals into enjoyable social time by engaging our clients in conversation over food. Companionship and Care Services
Conversation and Companionship
Studies show that staying social and engaged increases client's quality of life and prevents depression and cognitive decline. Our caregivers can provide clients with friendly company, conversation, and mealtime companionship. Meal Preparation
Eating nutritious meals can make health issues easier to manage, help prevent future health problems, help increase energy levels, and keep weight in check. For clients who have trouble with meal preparation, our caregivers can cook hot, delicious, wholesome meals, allowing clients to help with preparation according to their ability. Preparing food together can make mealtime a more social and enjoyable experience. Laundry

Our HomeLife Care caregivers can take care of all laundry needs, either in the client’s home or at a nearby laundromat. Services include washing, drying, ironing, and putting laundry away. Our caregivers work with clients to make sure laundry is done according to their preferences. Light Housekeeping
