How can your caregivers assist me if I use a wheelchair?

Our Tri-Valley caregivers are extensively trained in assisting wheelchair users with both motorized and manual chairs. We provide help maneuvering wheelchairs, including properly locking brakes, navigating access ramps, and safely getting in/out of the chair. We’re also able to assist with transfers into cars or onto furniture using proper lifting techniques. Understanding safe wheelchair practices maximizes our clients’ mobility.

What modifications can you make to my home for accessibility?

We conduct thorough home safety checks to identify modifications improving accessibility and ease of use. These may include installing ramps, widening doorways, moving furniture for clear paths, adding grab bars in bathrooms, adjusting cabinet and sink heights, installing shower seats, improving lighting, and more. We can help arrange for these home adaptations tailored to your needs.

How can you assist me if I have a visual impairment?

For those with visual impairments, we provide verbal guidance and cues while assisting with tasks and navigating the home environment. We can also help set up automated systems for medication reminders, thermostat controls, and other functions to increase independence. Our goal is to maximize self-reliance while ensuring safety.

What special equipment do your caregivers utilize?

Our team is trained to properly use Hoyer lifts, seat lifts, gait belts, transfer boards, shower chairs, grab bars, walkers, and other assistive equipment tailored to each client’s needs. We focus on proper use of devices and equipment to prevent injury. Regular in-services keep our skills sharp.
