Types of Home Health Care Services

Sitters & Companions are non-medical caregivers who are not all licensed; many have considerable experience in caring for the elderly. Sitters and companions are just that; they sit with someone who may or may not be ambulatory. They can assist them in many ways, but are not allowed to perform hands-on services. As companions, they spend time with the client just as a trusted friend would.

Homemakers & Housekeepers assist clients by taking care of the home keeping it in a clean and safe condition. They also may cook, do laundry, and grocery shop, if desired.

Home Health Aides & Nurse Aides are trained in giving hands-on care to the elderly and infirm. In addition, nurse aides are licensed by the State to also work in long-term care facilities.
In addition to what sitters and companions do, aides provide hands-on assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, personal and oral hygiene, toileting and grooming. They also can do meal planning & preparation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping, and laundry.

Nurses are licensed to do assessments, IV therapy, dispense medications, and develop care plans along with any activities done by our aides.
