Gentiva Personal Care offers the same non-medical services as home care, in-home care, and personal home care. We assist people who struggle with prolonged illness, Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia or memory loss, recovery from surgery, physical or developmental disabilities, or simply the challenges of aging. Gentiva Personal Care coordinate medical, personal, and social service resources and have built a strong reputation for dedication to the highest standards of compassionate, attentive in-home care.
Our best affordable senior services are a testament to our commitment to providing quality care at a reasonable cost. We assist with activities of daily living such as personal care, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. Gentiva can also provide referrals to other agencies, such as home health, palliative care, and hospice care.
At Gentiva, we understand that the right caregiver can make all the difference. That's why we take extra measures to match the most appropriate caregiver to the client, considering their skill level and personality. Our caregivers are not just contractors; they are our employees, bonded and insured. We conduct thorough background checks, provide ongoing training, and conduct supervisory visits to ensure the highest quality, professional home care.
What is personal care assistance?
Personal care assistance offers you extra help keeping up with the activities of daily life, allowing you to recover from illness or surgery, or to manage a chronic condition in the familiar surroundings of your own home. This might include things like bathing and dressing, light housekeeping chores, and laundry. Our caregivers can prepare healthy meals, provide transportation, run errands, and help clients maintain their medication schedules. They can also be a caring companion—someone you can rely on to help you during hard times and celebrate with you during good times.
Personal Care Services Gentiva Provides
Alzheimer’s, dementia, and memory care
• Our experienced caregivers are specially trained to best care for older adults who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia or memory loss. Managing behavior changes, calming people during times of agitation and confusion, and making sure they’re kept safe from wandering are all key components of the care we provide.
Post-hospital care
• Our attentive caregivers can help you or a loved one recover from a hospital stay and reduce the risk of rehospitalization. Along with transportation to and from the hospital, we offer in-home care services such as medication reminders, fall prevention strategies, and assistance in staying mobile after surgery. Care may also include preparing nutritious meals and helping with other personal care tasks to keep you comfortable.
24-hour daily care
• Round-the-clock care allows older adults to remain at home comfortably and safely, thereby avoiding a move to an aged care facility. Caregivers work in shifts, with a schedule that ensures you’ll see the same care team, week in and week out. Our caregivers love providing this level of care because of the strong bonds they form with the people they care for and the entire family.
Light housekeeping, meal preparation and transportation
• Our caregivers help your loved one enjoy a neat and tidy home as well as a nutritious diet. Our light housekeeping covers everything from changing linens and making beds to watering plants, shopping for groceries, handling laundry, and more. Our caregivers provide transportation for medical appointments, hospital visits, and even trips to the hairdresser. They can also run errands, or any local outings for fun, stimulating activities.
Respite care for family caregivers
• Respite care can provide relief for family members who currently provide care for an older adult or a loved one with disabilities. We can also sit with a loved one during a hospital stay to provide companionship and monitor for safety. Our expert, attentive in-home care helps reduce the risk of falls or other accidents.
