Home Attendants/Companion/Sitter Care
An elderly companion or senior sitter is a non-medical caregiver who can be there whenever and wherever clients need them whether that be full-time, part-time, or 24/7. Care can take place in a variety of settings such as senior living housing, nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, etc., but most often takes place within a home setting. However, elderly sitters can only perform certain tasks that are not medically related or involve physical contact (such as ADLs), so their roles are generally limited to providing basic supervision and companionship that can also include light housekeeping and errands depending upon the agreement made with the caregiver.
Respite Care
Respite Care is temporary care of a dependent elderly, ill, or handicapped person, providing relief for their usual caregivers.
Private Pay Home Care
Private pay home care is a service provided to elderly individuals who are in need of assistance with day-to-day activities. A private pay home caregiver visits your home or the home of your loved one and helps with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping, and personal grooming and hygiene. This form of home care consists of hourly rate care packages.
Sitters are available for all shifts in homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. Supervisory staff is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide information and assure the quality of services.
