Personal Care and Health Support

I bring a level of experience, competence, and compassion that allows me to be attentive to all of my clients’ needs. The services that I am able to provide include, but are not limited to:

• Mobility support, transfers, fall-prevention oversight
• Assistance with Self-administered medication including oxygen and reminders and organization
• Monitoring for changes in condition and communicating concerns to the designated person or provider
• Pre and post-hospital and procedure support
• Basic wound observation (non‑clinical and within scope of practice)
• Safety checks and home risk reduction

If someone is considered a “patient” with a care plan, licensed healthcare professionals such as CNAs, LPNs, and RNs are specifically trained in safe patient practices in accordance with a provider’s orders. It is for this reason that I recommend that the appropriate level of care be considered when needed.

Transportation & Errand Support

One of the biggest barriers to healthcare is transportation. Unfortunately, this includes screenings and other preventive healthcare. I’ll get you or your loved one safely to appointments on time, signed in and registered, and I’ll patiently wait during the visit.

I can assist with:

• Transportation to and from:
  • Doctor and Dentist appointments
  • Pharmacies – Prescription pickup and drop-off
  • Grocery stores, shopping and other errands
  • Physical therapy
  • Social events and outings
  • Veterinarian appointments
• Appointment scheduling and coordination

I’ll ensure a comfortable ride home and gladly stop at a pharmacy or other store to ensure that everything needed is available.

Companionship & Lifestyle Support

Families want someone they can trust with their loved ones. Individuals need human contact through people they can rely on to be honest, trustworthy and engaging.

Examples of services include:

• Conversation and social engagement
• Walks, exercise encouragement, pool monitoring, and outdoor time at parks and the beach (sunset)
• Games, hobbies, and mental stimulation
• Emotional support and presence

Scheduled safety check-ins also available to ensure ongoing wellbeing and early awareness of any concerns. Unfortunately, people sometimes aren’t checked on until the mailbox is overflowing and newspapers are piling up.

Home Safety & Emergency Preparedness

Hidden risks can go unnoticed and be dangerous. Identifying and correcting them can be the difference between years of continued independence, or premature long-term care. Living in Florida, we must all be prepared for emergencies and evacuation level events. I’ll provide a custom plan based on needs and location.

Services available include:

• Home safety assessments
• Fall-risk evaluations
• Expert emergency preparedness and evacuation planning
• Smoke detector, CO detector, and fire extinguisher checks and monitoring
• Pool Safety
• Basic first-aid kit setup
