Home Care Services

 

Live-in Home Care

MIMI Cares Personal Care Services are designed for individuals who need increased assistance with more personal areas of care. These services may be required due to decreased physical capabilities of an individual or diminishing cognitive abilities of the individual. MIMI Cares Personal Care Caregivers undergo special dementia care training which provides them with the tools to work with cognitively impaired individuals in unique and creative ways. Having a caregiver with specialized training is key to obtaining a higher level of cooperation and reduced anxiety for the client.

• Assisting with mobility, ambulation and transfers

Companion Services

Companion Services offer special advantages to those individuals that might spend a lot of time alone or who may struggle to keep their daily activity at a high level. Having a kind and friendly caregiver provides emotional support and can be a great encouragement for an individual. Maintaining activities and remaining engaged has been shown to increase independence and improve an individual’s overall well being as they age.

​

Transition Care Services are provided in order to assist senior adults through challenging or difficult transitions – whether it is a move from a private home to a senior living community or a transition from the hospital back to their home. As we age, physical relocation can cause a variety of stressors resulting in extreme agitation, emotional outbursts, depression, or exacerbation of previously managed chronic illnesses. Personal Care can provide caregivers to accompany and advocate for individuals who are hospitalized or in a skilled nursing facility or accompany them after discharge from these facilities back home. Helping a senior adult adjust to a new living environment can also be very valuable in allowing them to adjust to the changes in their daily routine. Smoothing out these transitions can help reduce not only the stress and anxiety but can also contribute to a reduction in avoidable hospital readmissions. It is very beneficial for the individual to have a feeling of safety and continuity during these times of transitional change.
