Duties a Home Care Assistance caregiver provides (Mark Lovell)

Recent research shows that the United States population is getting older. There are now more senior's living at home- many of which are living at home alone. While 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to live independently at home, many will require assistance to do so. Adult children are increasingly realizing that they cannot take care of their elderly parents because of job and family commitments. Other individuals might have disabled family members who require assistance in the home and thus one is not able to take care of elderly loved ones adequately. Luckily there is a solution to this problem we face today.

Columbus Home Care Assistance caregivers are hired to perform a number of tasks to make life easier for elderly adults living at home. The tasks performed by a caregiver depend on the needs of each individual client. The tasks that Home Care Assistance caregivers can assist with include (but are not limited to):

* Cooking and light housekeeping
* Laundry and change of bed linens
* Grocery shopping and errands
* Companionship, ambulatory assistance and range of motion exercise
* Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance
* Transportation to doctor appointments, supermarket, pharmacy
* Assisting with walking and transfer from bed to wheelchair
* Status reporting to family

* Errand runs and medication reminders
Other duties a Columbus live-in Care aid can perform are concerned with monitoring a client and helping with medication reminders. Additional duties might include transporting the client to medical appointments or around the town to complete important errands. If able, caregivers can also take their clients for walks around town or simply sit with them and keep them company while the family is at work. The duties that Columbus Hourly Care caregivers provide are diverse and depend on the needs of each client.
