Home Care Services
Yiayia’s Care specializes in providing medical / non-medical, in-home companion and personal care for the elderly. We offer many in-home services including companionship, light housekeeping, laundry, meal planning and preparation, incidental transportation, errand running, and personal bathing and grooming assistance.
Yiayia’s Care provides personalized home care services to people of all ages, physical conditions and cognitive levels. We specialize in quality in-home senior care, including professional nursing, personal care, Alzheimer’s care, dementia care, and many home care services in the home, the hospital, long-term assisted living facilities and other places of residence.
Hourly Care (8-hour, 12-hour or “Around-the-Clock” 24-Hour Care)
Yiayia’s Care offers full time care each day, from 8 hours a day to “Around- the-Clock” 24 hour care. This type of care typically is scheduled in 8 to 12 hour shifts and often requires 5 to 10 different Personal Assistants.
This type of care is billed at an hourly rate because Caregivers are awake and alert the full 24 hours. These services are most often for clients who require more assistance such as someone dealing with severe dementia or Alzheimer’s, is bed ridden, has Hospice, or gets up frequently during the night and requires assistance to do so.
Live-In Care
A “Live-In” is a Caregiver who “Lives” with a client and is available on a 24-hour basis. A Live-In provides the appropriate level of personal care and support services for clients who need the security of another person in their homes throughout the day, but do not require constant shifts of care. “Live-Ins” provides safety and companionship under reasonable work conditions.
If a client needs a “Live-In” seven days a week, usually two to three Caregivers will serve 2-5 consecutive days each week. As much as possible, Yiayia’s Care strives to keep the same Caregivers on regular and consistent schedules. However, there may be times and circumstances out of our control that require us to place different Assistant(s) in and as a result, Yiayia’s Care is not able to guarantee 100% coverage of care 100% of the time.
Overnight Care
Overnight care provides the opportunity for the primary caregiver to take a break and get a good nights rest. A Caregiver will be at your home for 8 to 12 hours throughout the night to ensure that bathroom visits, sleep walking, wandering or other activity that should be supervised to ensure health & safety.
Peace of mind is what the primary caregiver gets, knowing the care is covered while they get a solid, and often badly needed, good nights sleep. Typically the Caregiver will read a book, watch television quietly, or some kind of quiet hobby (i/e: quilt, laptop computer, etc), readily available as soon as any activity is seen or heard. This service is basically “Senior Sitting” where the activities are often minimal and/or limited to how often the individual wakes each night and what the needs are when awake.
