MEDICATION REMINDERS

Failing to take medications when prescribed can compromise one’s health, and missing or duplicating a dose can make conditions worse.

​

• remind people when it’s time to take medication(s)

• pick up prescriptions

• help review dosage and timelines for taking each dose

• ensure that medications are taken with food, water, or other requirements

​

COMPANION & RESPITE CARE

Being isolated or away from family can take an emotional toll. Many people simply want to spend a few hours chatting, sharing a meal, playing cards, watching TV, or even enjoying a meal outside the home. If you or a loved one need some time to run errands, require longer-term care, want a vacation or a weekend getaway, our caregivers will provide the respite care you need.

​

TRANSPORTATION 

When you or a loved one are no longer able to drive, it can create stress and mental anguish. Aside from the ability to remain at home, it’s often perceived as a “last link” to independence. That anguish can be relieved by utilizing our transportation services.

Transportation Examples Include:

• medical appointments

• church services

• shopping & errands

• restaurants / dining out

• visiting family & friends

• movies or other entertainment

• weddings, family reunions, school reunions or holiday celebrations

• picking up or renewing prescriptions and other pharmacy items

• taking pet(s) to veterinarian or groomer

​

LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING

A clean and tidy home is a much more pleasant place to live and provides invaluable peace of mind. We help with many tasks that may have become challenging in some cases, no longer safe or physically possible.

​

MEAL PREPARATION

Caregivers can manage special diets, help meet nutritional needs and assist with every step of the meal preparation process: menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and clean up.

Depending on specific needs, our caregivers can:

• prepare 1-3 meals per day

• make and freeze meals for a later time

• assist with set up and eating

• provide companionship and conversation during meals

• create grocery lists, maintain food inventory, and grocery shopping

• wash dishes and kitchen clean up

• monitor nutrition, intake and encourage hydration

​

DRESSING & GROOMING

You don’t have to forego grooming routines, just because they might be a little more difficult to manage. Maintaining good personal hygiene can drastically improve overall mood and attitude. Regular showering can protect skin integrity, improve circulation and even provide better rest at night. We want you to be warm, clean and comfortable. Starboard Homecare can help with daily tasks such as putting on socks and shoes when bending becomes difficult. We can also help comb and style hair, shave, apply make-up, or even provide transportation to the barber or hair salon.
