Compassionate companionship and conversation
Having someone sit with you and have conversation, watch and discuss TV programs, play cards, read to you, share meals and just be there for you, can make a great deal of difference in a person's life. Allow a Zoe caregiver to be there for you.
Relieve
for a family caregiver
We can provide a break for a family member who is currently caring for your loved one. There are times when you need a chance to recharge, run errands, or get some rest. We can provide the “respite care” you need for a short term or on a regular basis to make the caring for your loved one consistent and manageable for the family.
Scheduling and monitoring doctor and other appointments
Coordination of all the medical appointments and other necessary appointments can be a challenging task. Zoe caregivers can arrange and coordinate the trips to the doctor’s office and other appointments, ensuring quality care for those you love.
Medication reminders
Our caregivers can keep track of when it is time for medications. Although we cannot administer medications, we can ensure the reminder for taking medications that are so important to proper health care.
Morning wake-up and grooming
We can help you or a loved one get up and going in the morning. We can assist with getting out of bed, dressing and starting the day with a nutritious breakfast.
Assistance at bedtime
At the end of the day, your Zoe caregiver can get you or a loved one ready for bed. We can help you into bed, ensure a comfortable room temperature and a glass of water on the bed-side table. We can provide you the comfort and confidence you desire to end the day and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.
Help
with grocery list and monitor of diet and eating
Zoe caregivers can assist in preparing your grocery list and ensure proper food supplies are available in your home. We can even search the newspapers, clip coupons and do your shopping for you!
Our caregivers can prepare timely meals daily for your loved ones. This ensures proper nutrition, which is critical for good health and well-being. Studies have shown that many seniors living at home are either undernourished or malnourished by not eating enough or the wrong kinds of foods. We can ensure proper food and fluid intake for your loved one, and also assist them in eating.
Plan
activities and recreation
Zoe caregivers can help plan and assist in activities for you or your loved ones. Shopping outings, visits with family and friends, trips to local parks or other areas of interest allows your loved ones to retain their desired level of independence and keep their minds active. Activities in the home can include lifelong hobbies such as scrap booking, cooking, and enjoying the outdoors, continuing the activities that will help keep your loved ones vibrant, entertained and excited with continuing to be at home in their comfortable surroundings.
General housekeeping and plant care
Your Zoe caregiver will be able to tidy up the home and provide plant care too. Having lush green plants in the home helps everyone with feelings of well-being. Seniors who may experience depression and boredom especially benefit from the presence of plants in the home, and your Zoe caregiver can maintain these plants with proper watering and care.
Maintain a safe and comfortable environment
Safety of our clients and caregivers is our main priority. Your Zoe caregiver will ensure the safety of the home, clear pathways for walking, make sure electrical cords are safely stowed and appliances are turned off appropriately. We will also make sure your loved ones are dressed comfortably for the season and that the home temperature is set properly.
Provide status updates and change of condition to family or
medical personnel
Zoe caregivers will provide updates to family members, as requested, of the status and activities of the person we care for. In this way everyone is aware of the quality care provided and any changes that may be occurring with the client. We also watch for any changes in condition of the client and quickly act on anything out of the ordinary for that individual, so that appropriate family and medical personnel are notified and necessary actions are taken.
Assist with mail and correspondence
Zoe caregivers can assist in organizing the mail and ensuring that bills and important correspondence are responded to efficiently. If you or your loved one is having trouble remembering to pay the bills, we can help ensure these important correspondences do not slip between the cracks!
