Everyone who desires should have the opportunity to live independently. At Sunlight Senior Care, we are helping individuals live safely in their homes and maintain their independence, while often giving family members some relief and assistance. Whether it’s aging, illness, or disabilities, with a Caregiver’s help, our clients choose to remain in one of the greatest places on earth – home. The familiarity of a home also provides the sense of control we all desire, contributing to a happy, meaningful, and content life.
Sunlight Caregivers encourage our clients to do what they can safely do for themselves, helping them maintain their independence, feel more like themselves, and preserve their sense of identity. Based upon individual care needs, preferences and goals, our Caregivers then come alongside and help with other things including:
• Companionship. 43% of adults 60+ feel lonely (National Institutes of Health). Your Sunlight Caregiver becomes a new friend!
• Daily tasks. Imagine life without worrying about keeping up with everyday chores like laundry or washing dishes.
• Meal preparation. Far too often seniors don’t feel like cooking anything or default to a frozen meal. We can help!
• Occasional transportation. From grocery shopping to doctor appointments, our Caregivers ease your burden of providing or arranging transportation.
• Medication reminders. 1 in 2 seniors fail to take medications as prescribed (DHHS). If pills haven’t been taken that day, our Caregivers can provide reminders.
• Light housekeeping. We all want to live in a home that is clean and tidy. Our Caregivers can help with cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, etc.
• Personal Care (dressing, toileting, bathing). Our Caregivers aid in proper hygiene, essential aspects of well-being and dignity.
• Mobility assistance. From simple balance concerns to safe transfers using a lift, Sunlight Caregivers make sure you or your loved one is safe at home.
Hiring a Caregiver is a big decision. In Lincoln, Omaha Des Moines, and Council Bluffs, let Sunlight help answer your questions so you can make the best care decision for your specific situation!
