Services

Caring Matters offers a range of services for seniors who need companionship and social interaction to help them stay active and ensure their well-being. Our warm, attentive caregivers spend quality one-on-one time with our senior clients and engage them in the activities that interest them. We encourage their participation in new challenges to stimulate their cognitive skills as well as their social skills.

For the times you can’t personally be there with your loved one, our caregivers:

• Provide conversation & discuss local & current events
• Assist with crafts & hobbies, such as scrapbooking, puzzles, etc.
• Read with or read to clients
• Watch TV & movies with clients
• Play cards & board games with clients
• Help clients maintain relationships by assisting with phone calls, writing letters, & sending cards
• Help clients find new areas of interest, such as new games or puzzles

If you have a loved one struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, you’re not alone. The disease currently affects one in nine Americans aged 65 and older and one in three of those aged 85 and older, leaving nearly 5.2 million seniors and their families struggling to cope with its devastating effects.

Caring for a loved one with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is a heavy burden to bear alone. Caring Matters offers professional assistance from individuals who have special training to care for individuals affected by dementia. We can give you back the time you need to take care of yourself while we assist your loved one in his or her daily routines with the care and respect they deserve.

We can help with:

• Bathing & personal hygiene
• Dressing
• Medication reminders
• Incontinence care
• Household chores
• Meal preparation
• Arranging transportation for errands & appointments

Caring Matters offers non-medical, hands-on assistance to clients in their personal care routines and daily activities, helping them maintain a sense of pride in their appearance. Whether you need us for just a few hours, morning and night, or 24 hours a day, Caring Matters offer you the right solution.

Our hands-on services include:

• Bathing
• Skin care
• Hair washing
• Incontinence care
• Dressing

In addition, we offer specialized morning and evening care; a range of hands-off non-personal care services, including help with household chores, and general adult day care-type support and companionship.

Not every client requires hands-on assistance. For this reason, Caring Matters offers help to seniors and physically challenged adults in the following areas:

• Household Chores: Light housekeeping, including dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, laundry, making beds, changing linens, watering house plants, washing dishes, & taking out the trash
• Meal Preparation: Meal planning & advance preparation, grocery shopping, cooking, & kitchen cleaning
• Errands: Grocery shopping, pharmacy pickups/drop-offs, post office runs, & other necessary errands
• Medication Reminders: Reminding clients when it is time to take their medications
• Accompany Services: Accompanying clients to medical appointments, weddings, church, visits with friends, & other special events

Routines are important to seniors to help them stay active and alert. But the simple morning routine of getting out of bed, bathing, getting dressed, and eating breakfast can be a challenge for seniors and physically challenged adults. Likewise, getting ready for bed at the end of the day can be equally as challenging. Caring Matters offers assistance with morning and evening hands-on personal care. Care can be arranged to accommodate your loved one’s schedule and preferences.

Our trained staff can assist with:

• Bathing & washing
• Incontinence care
• Dressing
• Transfers to and from bed

Individuals who are sick or injured recover faster in a place that is familiar to them. As the old saying goes, “There’s no place like home.” Caring Matters provides assistance to anyone recovering at home from an illness, injury, surgery, or hospitalization.

Our caregivers can help with:

• Bathing & personal hygiene
• Light housekeeping, laundry, & other household chores
• Meal preparation

When new moms need a helping hand, Caring Matters is there. Our friendly, caring staff provides personal assistance for new mothers recovering from c-sections or support for any mom who could use a little help with the sleepless nights, errands, extra laundry, household chores, and daily lifestyle changes that come with a new baby at home.

Children and adults with special needs, physical disabilities and challenges often need hands-on care around the clock. Caring Matters can provide professional assistance to the primary caregiver, who is often forced to juggle this enormous responsibility with the demands of their own daily activities.

Our caregivers can help reduce stress by assisting with:

• Morning & evening care
• Daily activities
• Bathing & dressing
• Meal preparation
• Household chores
• Running errands
