Home Care of Delaware County offers a comprehensive range of services. With the help of our compassionate caregivers, your loved ones have the freedom to age in place at home.
SERVICES WE OFFER
Companionship
Seniors who are homebound or have limited mobility won’t have plenty of opportunities to go out. If they are left to themselves for a long time, it can negatively affect their mental and emotional well-being. It’s not a surprise why older adults are more prone to depression and other mental health issues. However, with the right amount of companionship, seniors can stay happy and healthy at home.
Walking Assistance
Seniors who have limited mobility may be tempted to live a sedentary lifestyle as going out takes too much effort for them. However, this situation won’t help in improving their health conditions. It can even aggravate existing illnesses. Simple activities such as walking can go a long way in keeping your elderly loved ones active. Our caregivers can take your seniors on outdoor walks while making sure they are safe and comfortable.

Meal Preparation and Eating Assistance
Proper nutrition is necessary for everyone. However, for seniors, it is imperative. Aging has been linked to bodily changes that make seniors more prone to deficiencies. Senior diet needs to contain enough calcium, fiber, iron, and protein, among others. Our caregivers are trained in healthy meal preparations and can assist seniors with eating/feeding if necessary.
Medication Delivery and Reminders
While missing a dose or two may not be a cause of immediate concern, making it a habit certainly is. Medication nonadherence is especially common in seniors. Several factors are involved in this issue; but for the most part, forgetfulness and lack of access to refills are the top two causes why seniors miss their medications. Our caregivers will ensure your seniors stay on top of their prescriptions.
Doctor’s Appointment Scheduling
Regular checkups are important in the prevention and management of many health conditions. This is especially true for seniors. Several factors may prevent older adults from sticking to schedules when it comes to their doctor’s appointments. Lack of transportation and limited mobility are the most common reasons. To make sure your seniors never miss a medical appointment, our caregivers will organize their schedules for them. They will also accompany them to the hospital or clinic to ensure their safety and comfort.
Light Housekeeping Duties
Clean and well-organized living space is crucial to the overall well-being of seniors. A well-tended home promotes safety and comfort. If your seniors are having trouble with home management responsibilities, know that our caregivers are always ready to assist them. They can assist with light housekeeping duties, such as decluttering and basic home organization.
