Home caregivers assist seniors with important
household and personal routines that are
necessary for maintaining a healthy lifestyle in
the home and community. Seniors can enjoy the
comfort and familiarity of their homes with the
support of home care.

Home care providers help seniors maintain their
independence by providing support with personal
care routines. Caregivers assist with ordinary
tasks, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing.
Other duties may include reminding clients to
take medications and helping with various
personal hygiene tasks like using the bathroom.
Personal Care

Many seniors lose motivation to prepare and eat
healthy meals when living alone. They are more
inclined to eat when meals are prepared for them.
Home caregivers plan a healthy menu giving
attention to the dietary needs and preferences of
their clients. They prepare nutritious meals and
take care of the food preparation clean
up. Caregivers manage the household food
inventory making sure to throw away perishable
foods in a timely manner and checking expirations
dates on containers.

Home care providers help senior citizens maintain
a comfortable and healthy home by doing light
housework. Housekeeping duties include making
beds, changing the linens when needed, and
washing the laundry. Sometimes light dusting and
vacuuming or sweeping are required. The caregiver
will take out the garbage and prepare for garbage
collection.

Seniors with home care benefit from provided
transportation. Social activity is an important
component of an independent lifestyle. Caregivers
provide transportation to appointments for
personal care, medical care, and social or
religious activities. Transporting clients to
social activities is an especially rewarding part
of home care. Seniors enjoy going to social
functions with their caregiver. Home care
providers and their clients develop friendships
as they attend community activities together.
Transportation

In addition to providing transportation,
caregivers run errands such as grocery shopping
and picking up prescriptions and dry cleaning.
They also help seniors with remembering
appointments and keep their calendars up to date.
They may pick up and organize the mail as needed.

Perhaps the most important of all the caregiving
duties is providing companionship. While
performing household and personal care tasks,
home care providers give needed attention and
validation to their clients. They listen, visit,
and participate in the daily lives of their
senior citizen friends. Companionship makes
physical and mental exercise more enjoyable.
Seniors who enjoy spending time with their
caregivers are more independent and happy
overall. They may play cards or board games
together at home and join other seniors in social
activities in the community. Home care can
extend a senior's independence and preserve their
lifestyle within the home and personal community.
Quality caregivers provide compassionate support
and stability to senior citizens in their homes.
