Nursing Companions offers quality, loving, in-home care services for families just like yours. Our custom care plans provide just the right mix of services that preserve your loved ones’ independence, maintain their in-home safety, and enhance the quality of their lives. Our caregivers are screened and trained to provide quality care and engage clients as active participants in their own care. All Nursing Companions’ employees are insured, bonded, and covered by workers’ compensation. Care plans are based on the health, needs, and wants of those in our care. We offer a variety of services that can fit most needs your loved one may have, whether it’s just a few hours a week or continual, around-the-clock assistance.
Grooming, and Hygiene
Nursing Companionss’ goal is to assist our clients with their personal care routines so they can look and feel their best. Studies have proven how effective and positive it is for seniors to have regular hygiene and grooming. For clients who fear falling while bathing, or have physical or cognitive limitations that make bath-time difficult, our caregivers are there to help. We can assist with shampooing, shaving (with an electric shaver), hair combing and styling, and other grooming needs.
Mobility Assistance
Remaining active in your golden years is one of the best ways to maintain the quality of life. Our caregivers help seniors remain active by assisting them in getting from place to place in comfort and safety.
Transferring and Positioning
One of our top priorities is helping our clients move around their homes. This may include getting in and out of bed, chairs, and wheelchairs. Proper transferring and positioning can contribute to reducing bedsore risks. This also helps reduce muscle atrophy, while encouraging proper breathing and digestion. It can also lower the risk of falls and injuries, as well as keep our clients as comfortable as possible.
Toileting and Incontinence Care
We understand the sensitive nature of toileting and incontinence care for our clients. Without proper help, seniors can face many issues. These may include skin infections, unpleasant odors, and general hygiene problems. Our caregivers offer compassionate, dignified help with these personal aspects of daily living.
Nutrition
Maintaining a healthy, nutritious diet can impact well-being and vitality across the board.7 In fact, many of our seniors have prescribed meal plans they must stick to for health reasons8. Whether you’re looking for help adhering to a special diet or just want to improve nutrition, our caregivers can help. They also provide companionship9, turning meals into social time by engaging with seniors while they eat. The positive environment helps them feel more relaxed. Supervision also makes certain your loved ones get proper nourishment.
Our 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 menus to promote disease prevention, healing, and healthy living.10 We make an extra effort to turn meals into enjoyable social time by engaging our clients in conversation over food.
