Take advantage of our home care services today, which are all designed to help our clients achieve overall wellness. To execute our mission, we offer various non-medical home care services that are made specifically to meet your health and personal needs. Our team of professional caregivers is ready to assist you with your daily routine. The services we offer are all aimed towards improving your overall well-being.
Our in-home care services aim to offer home care to every individual in the comfort of their own home. Our professional caregivers are responsible for giving around-the-clock care and supervision to ensure that your needs are immediately met. The caregiver will also perform regular monitoring to see if there are changes or improvements in your health.
We are here to help your loved ones continue to live life the way they want from the comfort of their own home.
Light Housekeeping – We can assist with vacuuming, dusting, cleaning floors, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning kitchens, taking out the trash, straightening rooms, organizing closets and drawers.
Laundry Services – Washing clothes and linens can be a strenuous activity. We can wash, dry, fold, iron and put away a client’s laundry for them, alleviating physical stress.
Meal Preparation & Shopping – Our caregivers work with our clients and their families to develop an appetizing and healthy meal plan that meets their specific diet requirements. We are available to grocery shop (with or without client) and prepare, cook and serve meals.
Friendly Visitor, Conversation & Company – We will visit your loved ones at their home and spend time with them. From conversation to playing board games, companionship can be the best solution to help loved ones through the day.
Errands & Transportation – We can assist by accompanying and transporting clients to doctor/dentist appointments, personal appointments such as the beauty shop & barber, visiting family and friends, shopping, local errands and more.
Companion services are available on a formal, paid basis, offered through Amelia Home Care.
We offer companions as part of the overall care plan.
Companions typically make regular visits, which may vary in frequency depending on the care recipient’s unique needs.
Usually, our caregivers visit at least weekly, while some may visit two to three times per week or even daily to help older adults prepare meals, take care of laundry, and other tasks.
More often than not, personal home care services are provided to the elderly and those with disabilities who may have just experienced injury or illness.
Personal care services can help seniors maintain their independence.
This type of service is not medical and unlike home health care, does not require a prescription or certification for the provider.
Personal care may be provided directly by caregivers with appropriate training in personal hygiene skills like bathing and dressing.
At Amelia Home Care, our team works with each family to develop a customized plan of care to address their unique needs. In addition to companion care and homemaker services, we offer a variety of personal care services to assist your loved one with their activities of daily living.
Bathing/Showering – Bathing is essential to ensure proper personal hygiene but more importantly, to the way a person feels. Our bathing services ensure that our clients receive the assistance they need to maintain proper personal cleanliness, skin integrity, stimulate circulation and reduce the potential for infection.
Walking, Transfer & Ambulation Assistance – We make sure that movement occurs on a regular basis while taking into account any physical limitation for each client. This could include going for a walk outside on a nice day or assisting with chair exercises to get the blood flowing.
Toileting Assistance – Having an experienced caregiver on hand to assist with toileting may help prevent urinary tract infections, skin breakdown and falls. Our caregivers are experienced in providing physical help and assistance, while maintaining dignity for all clients who may require assistance with toileting needs.
Oral Hygiene – Oftentimes, seniors may lack the fine motor skills necessary to ensure proper mouth care. Proper gum, tooth and denture care is vital to ensure the prevention of tooth decay, gum disease and/or periodontal infections.
Special Diet/Meal Preparation – Our caregivers will work with the family and client to develop an appetizing meal plan that meets the clients specific diet needs. This includes diabetic, gluten free, dairy free, low sodium and diet downgrades such as purees, thickeners, etc.
Eating Assistance – In some cases, clients are unable to feed themselves. Our caregivers are experienced in feeding clients and assisting with guided feeding. When appropriate, we can recommend modified feeding tools to ensure an enjoyable meal experience.

Although our caregiver cannot administer medications, they can assist with providing medication reminders, ensuring medication compliance and assessing for any potential side-effects.
