Personal Care

Our non-medical in-home eldercare services include the following:

Companionship Care

Seniors’ need for companionship and socialization is well-known and is often a significant factor in their decision to move into assisted living communities or nursing homes. However, some seniors find the prospect of moving into a nursing home or retirement facility overwhelming and restrictive. That’s where TexMed’s Companionship Care services can make a difference. As part of our Personal Care portfolio, our services are designed to provide seniors with the companionship they require to maintain an active, happy, and healthy lifestyle.

Our friendly caregivers undergo thorough screening to ensure their suitability for the role. They build strong bonds with their clients and actively engage them in various aspects of life, which are vital for maintaining mental and emotional well-being as they age.

Once we have carefully matched your loved one with a compatible companion who possesses the unique qualifications and characteristics to cater to their personality and interests, that caregiver will engage them in a range of healthy activities, including:

• Meal preparation with a focus on nutrition
• Crafts, scrapbooking, and playing games for mental stimulation.
• Going on outings together to encourage human interaction.
• Discussing life experiences while reminiscing about past events
• Conversing about current and historic topics for memory enhancement
• Outdoor activities like gardening or other yard work
• Walking outside or other forms of exercise that promote overall body and mind health.

Household Duties

Aging adults often require assistance with household chores for various reasons. Some may face physical limitations that prevent them from safely performing certain tasks, while others may struggle with memory issues that make it challenging to remember how to complete them. At TexMed, our certified home health aides are here to alleviate your burden by providing support to those who are unable to manage light housework on their own.

With a focus on promoting independence, our compassionate caregivers can lend a hand with a wide range of household duties, including:

• Dusting and vacuuming

• Assisting with general pet care
• Cleaning out and organizing closets
• Meal preparation and cleanup

Meal Planning

Seniors often face challenges in meal planning due to a decline in cognitive abilities and physical health. Research shows that older adults who live alone are at a higher risk of malnutrition due to poor meal preparation and eating habits. Additionally, health-related food restrictions prescribed by doctors can make it difficult for seniors to meet their daily nutritional needs. This is where our Meal Planning services at TexMed come into play.

Our caregivers at TexMed are equipped to assist with various aspects of meal planning. They can help with grocery shopping, meal preparation, and serving food, ensuring that seniors receive nourishing meals. Furthermore, our caregivers provide essential nutritional counseling to help clients make informed and healthy choices. This counseling becomes especially crucial for seniors with health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure, as it helps them stay on track with their dietary goals.

Home Health

Delivered by licensed medical professionals, we also offer these more specialized in-home services:

Intravenous Therapy

IV therapy, also known as intravenous therapy, involves the direct delivery of medication or other treatments into a patient’s vein. This can be accomplished through a needle inserted into the arm or by using a catheter to access a larger vein in the body. IV therapy is commonly utilized to administer fluids and medications to individuals who are unable to take them orally, for blood transfusions, or for other necessary treatments.

The advantages of IV therapy are numerous. It allows patients to receive essential medications and treatments promptly and conveniently. In certain situations, it may be the sole method available for delivering specific treatments and medications. IV therapy is generally considered safe and easy to administer, making it beneficial for patients who are unable or unwilling to take medications orally.

At TexMed Home Health, we have a team of experienced nurses prepared to deliver high-quality care to patients in need of IV therapy. Our skilled nurses ensure the efficient and reliable administration of treatments and medications while prioritizing the well-being of our patients.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a rehabilitation practice that aims to assist individuals with disabilities in regaining and enhancing their skills, enabling them to engage in everyday activities and live as independently as possible. A primary goal of occupational therapy is to support patients in returning to work. It is also valuable for individuals with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities.

For example, someone who has experienced a stroke may require assistance in relearning how to use their hands and arms, while an individual with chronic depression may benefit from guidance in redeveloping socialization skills.

At TexMed Home Health, our team consists of highly skilled and experienced occupational therapists dedicated to helping patients restore their ability to perform daily activities. Our Occupational Therapy services encompass a wide range of support, from assisting individuals in relearning how to eat, dress, use the restroom, or drive, to teaching adaptive techniques and introducing assistive devices when necessary.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) offers a range of advantages for patients in the process of recovering from injuries or surgeries, as well as for those managing chronic health conditions. By addressing pain, stiffness, or weakness, the primary goal of PT is to assist patients in regaining strength, mobility, and ultimately improving their overall quality of life.

TexMed Home Health provides an extensive array of Physical Therapy services to aid in the healing process following an injury or surgery, or to effectively manage a chronic condition. Whether you require inpatient or outpatient care, our team of experienced therapists will collaborate closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that caters to your specific needs.
