These days, many surgical procedures are conducted on an outpatient basis. However, that does not mean that once the patient arrives home that they are fully capable of resuming their daily activities.
Dignity’s post-surgical caregivers take care of your daily tasks and give you a chance to heal without worry.
Our caregivers prepare healthy meals, assist you with running errands, drive you to appointments, and coordinate visits with therapists so you can rest easy and focus on getting better.
Respite Care
Caring for a loved one in their home allows them to retain their dignity and independence for as long as possible. However, 24/7 care takes its toll on the family member. By caring for your loved one in their home, you provide them with the most generous, selfless gift you can give. But everyone, no matter how determined, dedicated, or self-sacrificing, needs a break once in a while.
Dignity Helpers at Home provides caring, conscientious respite care so that you can refresh, recharge, and renew your connection with life outside of care.
Our respite care services are available for short or long-term engagements, weekends, holidays, or whenever you need a break.
Dementia Care
Dignity Helpers at Home offers non-medical dementia care for clients with early, moderate, and advanced stages of dementia. When caring for a family member with dementia, one can easily become overwhelmed. Families may consider moving their loved one into a care facility, both for safety and peace of mind.
With the right care and support, your loved one can stay at home in familiar surroundings, which may help them—and you—lead a happier and more settled life. We understand the challenges you face when living with a loved one with dementia, and we want you to know there is help here for you when you need it.
Personal Hygiene
Maintaining good personal hygiene is vital to one’s dignity and comfort. If you or a loved one struggles with mobility issues, some of the basic daily activities might be dangerous and challenging to perform. In such cases, some elders choose to avoid them. They might feel self-conscious about asking for help, even though they cannot do it themselves.
Inattention to personal hygiene is more than just embarrassing – it could cause bacterial infections, viruses, and skin irritation that negatively impact one’s comfort and quality of life.
Our caregivers help with a wide range of personal hygiene tasks, including:
Bathing and Grooming
Toileting
Dressing
Laundry
And more
Medication Reminders
Medication is part of a wellness protocol set out by your primary care physicians and clinicians. To ensure the best possible healthcare outcomes, medication reminders are essential. However, this can sometimes be a challenge, especially in the presence of cognitive decline, depression, or mood disorders that cause the patient to resist treatment. Medication reminders are one of the many ways in which we help our clients stay on track and maintain their doctor-prescribed health regimen.
Dignity Helpers at Home provides non-medical in-home care for elders and individuals facing significant health or mobility issues. Medication reminders is just one way in which we help our clients stay on track and maintain their doctor-prescribed health regimen.

Meal Preparation/ Diet Monitoring
Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy, happy life. However, it’s often too easy to let dietary needs slip, especially when there are so many other things to attend to.

Dusting
Laundry
Dishes

Dignity Helpers at Home is actively monitoring the progression of the coronavirus, COVID-19, to ensure that we have the most accurate and latest information on the threat of the virus. As you know, this situation continues to develop rapidly as new cases are identified in our communities and our protocols will be adjusted as needed.
While most cases of COVID-19 are mild, causing only fever and cough, a very small percentage of cases become severe and may progress particularly in the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions. Because this is the primary population that Dignity Helpers at Home serves, we understand your concerns and want to share with you how our organization is responding to the threat of COVID-19.
We are following updates and procedures from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) State Department of Health, local and county authorities, the Home Care Association of America and other agencies and resources. Our response and plans may adjust according to the recommendations from these organizations.
