In-Home Care with a Sharing Heart
Although most of the clients Sharing Hearts cares for are elderly, we also provide companion and home care services for people of all ages. Life can challenge each of us with many obstacles and although we often prefer to face these battles ourselves, it's always nice to have someone that cares by our side. Sharing Hearts is exactly that, another means of support, at your side to help you or a loved one live a more independent life.
Whether you or a loved one is recuperating from an accident, in need of companionship and light housekeeping, or could just use a little extra support, Sharing Hearts has a caregiver who can help. To share your heart means to open up to someone fully and often when you are your most vulnerable. You can trust our professionally trained caregivers to care for you and your heart.
All Sharing Hearts staff is thoroughly screened and trained to provide the highest quality customized home care to fit your family’s needs.
Below is a list of our services. Every person is unique and your specific care plan should reflect that. Take comfort in knowing that a Sharing Hearts care specialist will help you customize our services to your individual needs and circumstances.
Homemaker Services
Home support services focus on daily care of the home and meals. In addition to light housekeeping needs such as vacuuming, dusting, dishes, laundry, changing beds, among other things, home support also includes meal preparation on a daily basis. This service can include special occasions such as holidays and guest entertaining. And if needed, pet care and gardening can be provided as well.
Personal Care Services
Our personal care service includes assisting the client with daily tasks such as grooming (hair care, shaving, cleaning teeth/dentures, makeup, dressing), hygiene (tub or sponge baths, showers, toileting), mobilization (turning, lifts, transfers, exercise, walking), eating/feeding, medication and appointment reminders, and much more.
For some families, a loved one may reach a point where twenty-four hour care is required for comfort and safety. These long hours can be taxing on family as the loved one is too often unable to sleep through the night. At this stage in life, we offer a peace of mind that comes with having someone at your loved one's side throughout the day. Sharing Hearts offers twenty-four hour care for each of our services above. Please note that rates vary for around-the-clock care and a personalized assessment will be provided to determine the required care and services to best fit your specific needs.
24 Hour Care
Safety and attention to detail are necessities when caring for a loved one with either Alzheimer's or Dementia. Sharing Hearts will work with you to establish a safer and more comfortable home. Trusting relationships and verified care techniques will be utilized to maximize independence and happiness for as long as possible. Our specialized approach of encouragement, consistency, and assistance helps family members cope with the challenges of Alzheimer's and other dementia illnesses.
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
Hospital Sitter
Anyone who has ever stayed with a loved one in a hospital knows that despite the best of intentions, hospital staff can not be at your loved one's side at every moment. Random visits by staff are not always enough to keep someone comfortable and safe. Sharing Hearts' hospital sitters act on behalf of your loved one when you are unable to be at the hospital yourself. From companionship to ambulatory assistance, our hospital sitters can help lift your loved one’s spirits during their hospital stay.
Our companion care service is focused primarily on kindness, friendship, and bringing joy to one's spirits. These are the activities that fill one's heart, keep the mind active and engaged, and are the foundation of our care. Companionship goes well beyond engaging in conversation and includes client preferred activities such as playing games, walking, cooking, holiday and special occasion baking, visiting friends and neighbors, shopping, event attendance like plays, movies and religious services, and much more.
