How Caregiver Services in Gresham Help Seniors Remain Independent

All across Gresham, many families are grappling with the same question — what can they do to support their elderly loved ones? At Visiting Angels^® Gresham, we strive to support seniors and their families as they navigate the most difficult aspects of aging. We offer caregiver services to help seniors in the Gresham area enjoy the independence of aging in place without putting themselves at risk.

The Benefits of our Caregiver Services in Gresham

Through our caregiver services at Visiting Angels Gresham, we can help you fill the gaps in your loved one's care so they can remain at home. Our caregivers have experience providing quality care for seniors with varying needs, who can support your loved one in the following areas:

• Access to nutritious meals - A healthy diet is vital for seniors, but many food-related tasks can get increasingly difficult. Some seniors may not be able to go to the grocery store by themselves, while others may need help cooking or even remembering to eat regular meals. Our caregivers can complete these meal-based tasks so your loved one will receive the nutrition they need.
• Personal hygiene and overall cleanliness - There are many reasons why your loved one may stop adhering to the same level of cleanliness. They may be nervous about bathing after a fall, or lose track of whether or not they've brushed their teeth. Or, they may find it physically difficult to do certain household chores like laundry or sweeping the floors. Our caregivers can assist with sensitive tasks like bathing or using the bathroom, as well as light housekeeping tasks.
• Mental and social stimulation - If your loved one has physical or cognitive issues that keep them from leaving their home, the isolation can lead to depression and other concerns. Our caregivers can offer lively companionship to keep your relative alert and engaged.
• Physical support - There may be times when your loved one needs physical assistance. As well as helping with physical chores, our caregivers can offer your loved one a steadying hand when they need it, whether it's help getting up from a chair or someone to lean on as they walk down the stairs.
