Types of Non-Medical Caregiver Services for Seniors 

Caregiver services provide an additional bridge of emotional and physical support for seniors and family members

Non-medical caregiver services can really benefit a senior in several different ways. Every senior is unique and has their own set of essential needs that have to be met, as well as what they want on a daily basis. Some seniors want to get out and about with a caregiver present in order to socialize and stay active in the community, while other seniors find comfort in being home and enjoy having a caregiver present for companionship. Now more than ever with COVID-19 present our seniors need to still be able to connect in order to thrive in daily life. 

Routine caregiver visits

A senior care company or private independent caregiver visit 1 to 3 times a week can assist a senior to keep a good routine, stay active mentally and physically, see and experience new things that will add to the overall quality of their life. A caregiver can represent a feeling of hope to a senior, and a reason to get up each day and feel cared for. 

Here are some the personalized caregiver services that can be provided

Everyday tasks for a senior can be a challenge, and a caregiver can facilitate them and most importantly make them fun again. Even if the task is small it can provide a sense of purpose for a senior. 

Personalize Caregiver Services

Everyday chores such as grocery shopping for example can be overwhelming for seniors. A senior will tend to plan the whole day around a a simple trip to the grocery store.
