While older individuals living alone enjoy their independence, loneliness and daily tasks can become hurdles. An in-home caregiver can be the answer.

At Assisting Hands West Austin, our trained caregivers provide more than just safety. They become companions, offering friendship to combat loneliness and helplessness.

Meal Preparation

Our caregivers are trained to assist with all aspects of meal preparation, including grocery shopping, preparing ingredients, cooking, cleaning up, and assisting clients with eating. We even personalize each meal plan, considering allergies and preferences.

We create balanced, filling meals seniors will enjoy. Just tell us their dietary needs and preferences, and we’ll ensure they have delicious, easy-to-reheat leftovers for the next few days.

This approach to meal prep eliminates the stress of deciding what to eat and ensures seniors get the nourishment they need. Plus, it creates opportunities for socialization by sharing a meal with a caregiver.

Light Housekeeping

Keeping up with housework can become challenging as we age. Our companions are here to make everyday living easier by assisting with light housekeeping tasks. We’ll take care of dusting, mopping floors, and cleaning windows. We can even lend a helping hand with pets when needed, and ensure your furry companions are fed.

Need something else done? Don’t hesitate to ask. We’re happy to accommodate your requests whenever possible. While deep cleaning or outdoor tasks like power washing might fall outside our scope, we focus on making your loved one’s indoor environment safe and comfortable.

Overnight Care

For seniors needing constant supervision, we offer comprehensive live-in care. This ensures a caregiver is present 24/7, prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise.

Live-in care providers will stay with your loved ones and help with daily daytime or nighttime activities, including personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation and more. We’ll assist them with bedtime routines and remain readily available throughout the night.

Our caregivers work shifts, which ensure they can provide the best possible care. To facilitate this, we kindly ask you to designate a comfortable space for them to rest and recharge between shifts.

Benefits of Companionship

Independence is important at any age. But a sudden illness or fall can be especially worrisome for seniors living alone. However, a little extra support can make a huge difference. While family provides love and comfort, our trained caregivers can offer a helping hand.

Our caregivers ensure the safety and well-being of your loved one, while fostering a friendship and connection. Let us be the listening ears and helping hands your loved one needs. We’ll keep you updated on their well-being and alert you of any emergencies. If needed, we can also accompany them outdoors on errands to save time.
