Personal Care

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

Companionship Care

We all know how important it is for seniors to have companionship and social interaction, which can often influence their decision to move into assisted living communities or nursing homes. However, not everyone is keen on the idea of relocating, and that’s where TexMed’s Companionship Care services come in. As part of our comprehensive Personal Care offerings, these services are carefully designed to provide seniors with the companionship they need for an active, happy, and healthy lifestyle.

Our friendly caregivers go through a thorough screening process to ensure they’re a good fit for the role. They build strong connections with their clients, actively involving them in various aspects of life that are crucial for maintaining mental and emotional well-being as they age.

Once we’ve thoughtfully matched your loved one with a compatible companion, selected based on their unique qualifications and qualities that resonate with your loved one’s personality and interests, the caregiver will engage them in a variety of enjoyable 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

For aging adults, help with household chores is often necessary due to diverse factors. Physical constraints can hinder the safe execution of certain tasks, while memory challenges may make it difficult to remember how to complete them. At TexMed, our certified home health aides step in to lighten your load, offering assistance to those who cannot manage light housework independently.

Emphasizing the enhancement of independence, our caring caregivers are primed to aid with an array of household responsibilities, encompassing:

• Dusting and vacuuming
• Laundry and ironing
• Making beds and changing linens
• Dining out with clients at restaurants
• Accompanying clients on appointments, errands, or social functions
• Assisting with general pet care
• Cleaning out and organizing closets
• Meal preparation and cleanup
• Taking out the trash

Meal Planning

Meal planning can be a formidable task for seniors, often stemming from a decline in cognitive abilities and physical health. Research underscores that older adults living alone face an elevated risk of malnutrition due to challenges in meal preparation and consumption habits. Moreover, doctor-prescribed dietary restrictions can further complicate meeting daily nutritional requirements. This is precisely where our Meal Planning services at TexMed step in.

At TexMed, our caregivers possess the expertise to assist in various facets of meal planning. They extend aid with grocery shopping, meal preparation, and serving, ensuring seniors receive nourishing meals. Additionally, our caregivers offer crucial nutritional counseling, empowering clients to make well-informed and healthful choices. This guidance holds particular significance for seniors contending with health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure, as it aids in adhering to dietary objectives.

Our budget-friendly and dependable senior meal assistance services encompass:

• Recipe research and meal planning (Including your loved one’s favorite dishes!)
• Grocery shopping
• Caloric monitoring and proper nutrition
• Meal preparation
• Establishing an appealing eating environment

Medication Supervision

Every year, a significant number of seniors end up in hospital emergency rooms due to medication mistakes. TexMed is committed to providing reliable Medication Supervision services, with the goal of enhancing the health and safety of older individuals. Our tailored program is designed to help seniors effectively manage their medications, ensuring they take the prescribed doses at the right times. Additionally, we can assist in scheduling medical appointments and provide educational resources on various health topics.

Here are some additional ways our experienced in-home caregivers can enhance your medication management routine:

• Setting up an organizational pillbox
• Ensuring proper medication storage
• Logging and reporting medication use
• Prescription refill reminders and pickups

Home Health

Administered by certified healthcare experts, we also provide the following specialized in-home healthcare services:

Intravenous Therapy

Intravenous (IV) therapy, also known as IV therapy, involves delivering medications or treatments directly into an individual’s bloodstream through a vein. This can be done using a needle in the arm or a catheter to access a larger vein in the body. IV therapy is commonly used to provide fluids and medications to individuals who can’t take them by mouth, for blood transfusions, or for other essential treatments.

IV therapy offers a range of benefits. It allows individuals to receive necessary medications and treatments quickly and conveniently. In some cases, it may be the only feasible way to administer certain treatments and medications. IV therapy is generally considered safe and straightforward, making it a valuable option for those who can’t or prefer not to take medications orally.

At TexMed Home Health, our team of experienced nurses is ready to provide high-quality care to individuals in need of IV therapy. Our skilled nurses ensure the efficient and reliable administration of treatments and medications, all while prioritizing the well-being of our valued patients.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a rehabilitation approach that aims to help individuals with disabilities recover and improve their abilities, empowering them to participate in everyday tasks and achieve maximum independence. One key goal of occupational therapy is to assist people in returning to their daily routines, which is valuable for those with physical, mental, or emotional challenges.

For example, someone who has experienced a stroke may need help regaining hand and arm function, while a person dealing with chronic depression could benefit from improving their social interaction skills.

At TexMed Home Health, our dedicated team includes skilled and experienced occupational therapists who are committed to helping individuals regain their proficiency in daily activities. Our Occupational Therapy services cover a wide range of support, from assisting individuals in relearning tasks like eating, dressing, using the restroom, or driving, to teaching adaptive techniques and introducing assistive devices when needed.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) offers a wide range of benefits for individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or dealing with chronic health issues. Its main goal is to help patients regain strength, mobility, and improve their overall quality of life by addressing pain, stiffness, or weakness.

At TexMed Home Health, we provide a comprehensive range of Physical Therapy services to assist in recovery after injuries or surgeries, as well as expertly manage ongoing health conditions. Whether you choose inpatient or outpatient care, our experienced team of therapists works closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
