Senior Personal Care Services

Senior Personal Care In Portage, IN

ComForcare is pleased to offer seniors in the Valparaiso, La Porte, Hobart, Michigan City and Hebron area of Indiana area superior assistance with senior personal home care needs. Senior personal care assistance can help seniors “age in place,” instead of having to seek the services of a nursing home. This is often preferred and can also be more cost-effective for clients.

Transition of Care

In many cases, seniors require assistance with personal care needs following release from medical facilities. Family members may struggle to understand the best way to arrange the home and care for their loved one following a surgery or bout of illness. Our caregivers have professional training for these situations and can provide family members with welcome assistance both during and after the transition of care.

Personal Hygiene Assistance

Seniors that have difficulty taking care of personal hygiene needs may suffer embarrassment when asking family members for help. Our senior personal care associates are compassionate as well as practiced at assisting with these types of needs. Whether clients need help with bathing, dressing, or making sure that all necessary hygienic supplies are on hand, our caregivers are there for support and aid.

Incontinence Care

Many seniors suffer from incontinence due to medical conditions or injuries. Having an incontinence care plan in place is essential for good health, and can make all the difference in a client’s attitude and perspective. ComForcare caregivers know this, and are diligent about taking care of these needs so that seniors are always clean and comfortable. Reducing embarrassing accidents by having a schedule in place can allow seniors to participate in more activities with less stress.

Dementia Care

As part of our dementia care programs, our caregivers provide emotional support and attempt to increase the frequency of positive experiences for clients. Senior personal care professionals will also assess the home and make suggestions or changes as needed to improve the safety of the home. If desired, caregivers can help to answer questions and educate close family on dementia best practices that may minimize the incidence of troubling behaviors and reduce hazards.

DementiaWise Certified

ComForcare in the Valparaiso, Portage, La Porte, Hobart, Michigan City and Hebron area of Indiana area is DementiaWise certified. This means that caregivers are exceptionally trained to provide dementia care and implement programs that have shown to help improve the quality of life for clients. In some cases, programs may even help to mitigate the progression of symptoms. We are committed to providing clients with exceptional senior personal care, so that seniors can focus on their health and happiness.

Whether your loved one needs assistance only a few hours a week or around-the-clock, our team is happy to help! Call (219) 462-2400 to learn more about the transition care services offered through ComForCare Home Care (North West Indiana, IN).

Personalized In-Home Care Services

Let's explore some of the ways in-home care services can enhance everyday life:
  • Light Housekeeping
Household chores can become physically taxing for many seniors or individuals recovering from illness or injury. Personal in-home caregivers are here to lend a helping hand, assisting with tasks such as dishwashing, vacuuming, dusting, and laundry, ensuring a clean and tidy living environment.
  • Transporation
Maintaining independence is essential; reliable transportation is key to achieving it. In-home caregivers can provide assistance with running errands, attending medical appointments, engaging in social activities, or simply getting out of the house for a change of scenery.
  • Safety Supervision
Safety is a top priority. Caregivers offer general supervision, conduct home safety checks, and assess fall risks. They can also assist with essential activities like dressing, bathing, and more, ensuring clients remain safe and secure in their own homes.
  • Medication Reminders
Household chores can become physically taxing for many seniors or individuals recovering from illness or injury. Personal in-home caregivers are here to lend a helping hand, assisting with tasks such as dishwashing, vacuuming, dusting, and laundry, ensuring a clean and tidy living environment.
  • Meal Planning & Preparation
A well-balanced diet is crucial for overall health. Caregivers can work closely with clients to plan, shop for, and prepare nutritious and delicious meals right in the comfort of their own kitchens, catering to specific dietary needs if required.
  • Family Respite
Family caregivers need support too. Preventing caregiver burnout is vital, and in-home care offers respite care to allow family caregivers the time to rest, recharge, and continue enjoying the activities they love.

Personal Care Services

Participating in meaningful activities allows older adults to have human connections and can help make their day brighter. Caregivers can play card games, read novels or magazines, listen to music, or just chat with clients.

Personal Care FAQ

They are the services received from the comfort of your home that might otherwise be administered at a long-term care facility or retirement home. They’re ideal for the independent older adult who wants assistance and to remain where they feel most comfortable. Contact us to learn more about what our personal care services can do for you.

A personal care worker is someone who you hire to help around the house with cleaning, laundry, personal hygiene, and more. Their services include:

  • Bathing assistance
  • Transportation
  • Meal planning & preparation
  • Light housekeeping & laundry
  • Medication management

Personal home care will typically have a lower level/intensity of medical care. This type of care is centered around basic support and assistance for day-to-day activities. These services do not typically focus on medical needs, so examples may include housekeeping, transportation support, and daily hygiene.

The best way to start looking is to talk to your family doctor; they will understand what level of care you need. We suggest you search online to see what’s available, as well as to find your preferred provider. We also recommend looking for in-home care options, as they could be the better option for many people.

As the name suggests, private home health care is provided in the comfort of one’s own home. This care is often tailored to an individual’s unique needs and symptoms.  In comparison to other care options, the main difference is that individuals are not required to leave their home and move elsewhere to receive support. They can remain comfortable and independent in their own home.

Our services can include:

  • Medication management
  • Transportation services, including to and from medical and social meetings
  • Meal planning and preparation
  • Safety supervision
  • Light housekeeping
  • Personal hygiene assistance

We recommend you speak with your family doctor about what your care needs are, so you understand exactly what is required. Then, we encourage you to search online to find some options you are interested in. Once you’ve picked top contenders, speak with them on the phone to learn more about the care they provide. For more information, meet with these providers in person.

The main benefits of choosing personal home care are:

  • Being in the comfort of your home; a relaxed person is often a healthier person.
  • It can be easier to accept care in this context; some people don’t like the idea of moving elsewhere to receive care.
  • It’s easier for loved ones to visit or help.
  • Care plans are executed one-to-one, whereas the ratio of patients to care staff is different in facilities.
