Homemaker

A homemaker is a worker whose primary concern is to assist an elderly or disabled client to maintain a clean and safe home environment and complete basic household tasks. The homemaker works on an hourly basis.
A homemaker usually has no formal caregiver training but has knowledge of proper nutrition, marketing, food storage, cleanliness and safety, and home management. 

​

A Homemaker can:

• Maintain the home in an optimum state of cleanliness depending upon the client's resources

• Perform general homemaker functions, such as preparation of meals, laundry, and shopping

• Participate in planning and organizing household tasks

• Stabilize the client when walking, as needed, by holding the client's arm or hand

• Perform casual, cosmetic assistance for the client, such as brushing hair or assisting with dressing as allowed

• Report any unusual changes in the client's behavior to the program director, RN, and/or administrator of the nurse registry

• Schedule hours at the request of the family or client

Home Care Arrangements

We are able to arrange for a care-giver as needed by the client and family.  Care-givers can be provided in either an Hourly or Live-In basis as described below.

​

Hourly

The hourly care-giver works the hours as requested by the family to meet the unique needs of the client.  A typical request is for a care-giver to be at the client's home 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.  However, we can make arrangements to provide a care-giver who works 4 hours every other day up to care-givers who are present 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the client.

​

Live-In

The live-in care-giver remains in the home around the clock. Live-in services are provided seven days a week. The needs of the client determine the type of live-in assigned to a case. A live-in may be a Homemaker or a Personal Care Aide, depending upon the amount of hands-on assistance required by the client.
