DonnaCare at Home Services

Personal Home Care is non-medical assistance to help individuals maintain their independence and quality of life at home. Some common services include:

• Help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.
• Housekeeping such as cleaning, laundry, and yard work.
• Meal preparation and assistance with eating.
• Mobility support including help with walking, transferring, and fall prevention.
• Transportation for errands, appointments, or social outings.

These services are designed to support individuals who may need extra help due to age, disability, or recovery from illness. 

Respite Care offers essential relief for caregivers, helping them maintain their well-being while continuing to provide quality care. Here are some key benefits:

• Prevents burnout – Caregiving can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Respite care allows caregivers to take necessary breaks.
• Allows time for personal needs – Caregivers can attend medical appointments, run errands, or simply relax, ensuring they take care of themselves too.
• Provides peace of mind – Knowing their loved one is receiving professional care allows caregivers to take a break without worry.

24/7 In-Home Care refers to continuous, round-the-clock assistance provided to individuals in their own homes. This type of care is often used for seniors, individuals with disabilities, or those recovering from illness or surgery who need constant support.

Unlike live-in care, where a caregiver resides in the home but has designated sleep and break times, 24/7 care ensures that caregivers work in shifts—typically two 12-hour shifts or three 8-hour shifts—so that someone is always awake and available to assist.

This type of care allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the support they need, offering peace of mind to both the person receiving care and their family.

Medication Management refers to the support provided to individuals, often seniors or those with chronic conditions, to ensure they take their medications correctly and safely while living at home. This service can include:

• Medication reminders to prevent missed doses.
• Organizing medications using pill organizers or blister packs.
• Monitoring for side effects and ensuring proper adherence.
• Coordinating with healthcare providers to manage prescriptions and avoid harmful drug interactions.
• Educating patients and caregivers about medication use and potential risks.

This type of assistance is crucial for maintaining health and preventing complications, especially for individuals managing multiple medications.

Chronic Illness Management refers to the management and support of individuals with long-term health conditions in their own homes. Unlike acute illnesses, chronic conditions—such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and COPD—persist over time and require ongoing care rather than short-term treatment.

Home care for chronic illness typically includes:

• Personalized care plans tailored to the individual's needs.
• Emotional support and companionship to reduce isolation and improve mental well-being.
• Monitoring and intervention to prevent complications and hospitalizations.

This approach allows individuals to maintain independence while receiving necessary medical and personal care in a familiar environment.

Companionship Care is a care service that focuses on providing emotional support, friendly conversation, and social interaction for individuals who may feel isolated or lonely. It is particularly beneficial for older adults who want to maintain their independence while receiving regular social contact.

Companionship care can include:

• Engaging in conversation and listening to stories.
• Assisting with hobbies, games, and crafts to keep the mind active.
• Accompanying individuals to appointments or social events.
• Providing emotional reassurance and support to reduce loneliness.

This type of care is designed to enhance well-being by fostering meaningful relationships and encouraging independence.
