It can be overwhelming or even impossible to aging adults to cook full meals, shop for ingredients, and cook it all-especially when there are mobility or memory issues involved. Actually this can be quite dangerous, as many older clients do not remember to toss out expired food, not to mention the risk associated with using a stove or oven.
Other times, seniors fall out of the habit of preparing meals for themselves and eating in a healthy way. Their appetites may change or become reduced, due to medications or illness. Sadly, malnutrition is a big problem in the senior population, leading to disease and more frequent hospitalizations. You can rest assured the ACAF CareProSM team will be there to lend a watchful eye and a helping hand.
Respite Care
Respite Care is an unskilled relief program available to those caring for family members within their home. Our respite home care services provide support, whenever and however needed. Perhaps you need to run a few errands, meet friends for lunch, take the afternoon to go shopping, or just get away for awhile. Whatever the case, our CareProSM can step in and fill your shoes for however long you’ll be away.
Meal Preparation
Nutrition effects every aspect of our life. A well balanced diet is crucial to good health. We have been there when clients or their families have no choice but freezer meals. We have been there when a diabetic has nothing but high sugar items for a meal. We have been there when there isn’t enough time before work to fix mom or dad a meal of their liking. We have been there and we understand. Proper nutrition is invaluable. Let the ACAF CareProSM team be your personal chef.
Companionship
We will match your loved one with the best caregiver for them, offering steady companion care so your loved one can stay active. We will help them take part in social visits, revisit old hobbies they used to love or even just take a walk around the block. Rest assured, all of our caregivers pass background checks when they become employed by us and we engage in frequent quality checks to ensure our caregivers are the best at what they do. Our caregivers can also assist with personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, and respite care for caregivers.
Sitter
Our sitters are non-medical caregivers who can watch over clients whenever and wherever they need them, from part-time to full-time to 24/7. Such care can be provided in a variety of settings, including the senior’s home, senior living housing, nursing homes, hospitals, rehab facilities and more. Elderly sitters are not physicians or nurses and cannot provide medical, physical therapy or any other related service. Their role is limited to providing basic companionship along with some light housekeeping if needed.
Errands
From grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions from the pharmacy to mailing a package, As Close As Family is here for you and your family by providing errand services. These services are all inclusive within the PremCare program with very few exceptions to apply.
