In-Home Caregiver Agency Services
When someone requires care that is not medical in nature, it’s called companion care or an in home caregiver. In many cases, our clients request a live-in caregiver. We can provide all of your companion care needs.
People who can benefit from a live-in caregiver include those with mild dementia, frailty, depression, or loss of faculty. Sometimes, they may just need someone to converse with or help with household management needs. No matter your family’s specific needs, we can provide home care.
LifeWorx caregivers are available for as little as a few hours per day or as much as live-in when needed. In addition to taking care of basic household chores like cooking and cleaning, they provide conversation and companionship, accompanying your loved one on errands and to lunches, dinners, and shows. They can also communicate with other family members to let them know how your loved one is doing, imparting joy and peace of mind to the individual and his/her relatives
Most elders want to be fairly independent and will welcome live-in care only if they feel good about the chemistry. That’s why, at LifeWorx, we focus on finding a caregiver who really “clicks” with your loved one. We assess the caregiver’s communications skills, as well as the activities they can offer your loved one, like playing word games and cards, or suggesting films to watch together. We are careful to suggest caregivers who will not only keep your senior safe, but also entertained and occupied. For example, our patented software enables us to search for a strong male caregiver who is an expert in playing chess. We know that when it comes to 24-hour care, attention to detail is critical.
If your loved one needs companion care but is resistant to the idea, we recommend starting small and getting him or her deeply involved in the selection process. Many times, families try to dictate what should be done for their elder without getting his or her consent. They figure he or she will simply go along with the change, but this generally backfires. Why? Because seniors are smarter—and more stubborn—than family members give them credit for! Instead, be candid and upfront, sharing your concerns. One way is to say, “I think you could use someone to keep you company and help you out.” Start with just a few hours a week of companion care and see how the relationship develops over time. Once your loved one and their companion have bonded, it will become increasingly easier to transition to 24-hour care.
Our clients have trusted us for more than 15 years. You can, too.
We make our interview process rigorous for a reason. We see the true joy in caring, so we ensure that any caregiver we employ sees it, too. It’s an essential part of joining the LifeWorx team.
We place a high value on compassion, warmth and the courage to do the right thing. Our live-in caregivers are battle-tested. Our process intentionally rules out those looking for an easy job, way to check out all day or be on their phone
Having served thousands of clients over the past 15 years, we have only had two falling incidences while in the care of a caregiver. In one situation, the nurse cared enough to get hurt in the process of saving the client from falling. We seek this level of care when hiring all of our private duty personal care aides and in-home caregivers. For this reason, our clients have called us, a trusted caregiver agency, for years.
