Running Errands

Running errands can be a challenge for Seniors. Sometimes it can be very stressful to get even the small tasks accomplished.  An errand with someone means independence and confidence in knowing that things are being taken care of without fears and problems arising with no one present.  The tasks can be done with you or for you.

Companionship

Let me be the one who is there for emotional support and friendship.  Let me be the one who is there to emphasize”You are not alone”during times of loneliness and disconnections from the community.  We can go for a joy ride around town or read articles from the latest newsletter.  We can even share stories.  It’s all about you and what you enjoy.

Let’s care for ALL of you

Light Housekeeping

Seniors, as they age, are not able to clean their homes as they would like.  Many have limited mobility and other challenges that prevent them from doing so.  Having a clean, open environment, free of clutter, can help prevent falls and make things easier to find.  It also gives the Senior a feeling of peace of mind about their home, cleanliness, and contentment.

• Making the bed and changing the sheets

• Vacuuming around furniture

• Wiping down counters

• Sweeping and mopping

• Washing and putting dishes away

• Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

• Taking out the trash

• Light dusting

Cooking and Meal Prep

Cooking can be sometimes challenging for Seniors for various reasons.  Good, nutritious meals are very important, and aids in better health and quality of life.  Considering my years of experience cooking in a Senior facility, I would like to be of assistance.  We can plan meals together, and even cook together:

• Meal Planning

• Grocery Shopping

• Preparing food for cooking

• Preheating meals

• Cooking meals

Laundry

Laundry can become a difficult task due to many things.  Sometimes it is hard to bend, reach, or stoop.  Newer laundry machines are even more difficult to operate due to the many features.  Older adults are used to things being more simple to use.  They may become frustrated and maybe even exhausted just trying to accomplish this one thing that used to be much easier.

• Fold

• Put away
