Capital Home Care Companionship and Homemaking services include the following:
-
Diet Planning
Having a healthy diet helps you maintain and possibly improve some of your ailments. While we are not able to recommend specific diet plans, we are able to support our clients in making food decisions and meal plans based on the diet plan that has already been prescribed for you by your dietician/nutritionist. Our caregivers will ensure adequate fluid and caloric intake for those who may have decreased appetite and may therefore be at risk for malnutrition. -
Meal Preparation
Our caregivers can help you prepare well-balanced meals so that you are properly nourished and well hydrated. Caregivers will prepare meals for you based on your preferences and based on your prescribed diet. For instance, if you are advised to follow a pureed diet, our caregivers will ensure that your food is pureed (and of course, as tasty as possible!) -
Light Housekeeping
In order to deliver quality care in a safe, healthy environment, it is important that your living area be kept clean, organized and free of clutter. Our caregivers are able to perform basic housekeeping tasks for you. Examples include: wiping down kitchen after meal preparation, doing laundry, folding laundry, taking the trash out, changing bed linen and cleaning up around you after doing your personal care tasks. -
