Reliant Home Care Services
We are here to help you with all types of services to take care of the ones you love.
We Are Here to Help You
When you’re facing the challenge of caregiving, you need to know you don’t have to do it all by yourself. This doesn’t just mean calling in friends or other family members, either, although they can certainly provide care, too. In fact, in many cases, care is a community effort—family members take turns helping their loved one, while friends stop by regularly to provide breaks for the caregivers.
However, we know not everyone is fortunate enough to have this type of support network. For some, they truly are the only person their loved one can rely on. The task of caregiving falls to them. We hesitate to use the term “burden of caregiving” because spending time with a loved one shouldn’t be a burden. That said, over time, caregiving can become a source of stress and start to feel like it is a burden.
When that happens, it’s time to look at other options. It’s not a weakness or a failing to need to ask for a little help. In fact, it’s the responsible, most loving option. By reaching out to Reliant Home Care Services, you’re ensuring that you are able to take the time you need to care for yourself so you can be at your best when you’re with your loved one. When you’re tired and burnt out, you can’t give anyone the care they need, and that includes yourself.
We offer home care services that focus on specific types of patients. These services are considered non-medical and include activities of daily living, such as dressing, preparing meals, and other tasks. We strive to provide the best care for your loved one, regardless of what challenges they’re facing.
Our team treats every patient with the dignity they deserve, no matter how old they are or what care they need. We will help them retain as much independence as possible in their own homes. This means communicating regularly with them and making sure they understand what we’re doing. No one should ever feel uncomfortable in their own home or with anyone who is providing them care. We pledge to do our best to ensure that never happens.
Senior Home Care Services
As we age, our bodies begin to show signs of wear and tear. Sometimes it’s a minor issue like the occasional shoulder pain. Other times, it’s more serious and can impact a person’s ability to walk up steps or remain steady on their feet for more than a few minutes.
When a loved one starts to develop these issues, they often start to wonder what it means for their future. Few people want to move into an assisted living or care facility. They want to remain independent and comfortable in their own home. We understand that. There’s something about being in the space you selected and carefully decorated over the years that makes a person feel safe and secure. This is especially true for those who have lived in the same home for decades and made many great memories there.
If your loved one is having difficulty completing daily tasks in their home, they may feel that their only choice is to move into a facility, even if they don’t want to. This can lead to depression, even before they make the move. They may feel defeated, outdated, and no longer needed just because they aren’t able to do everything they once did.
This is where senior in-home care services come in. Our team of caregivers can ensure your senior loved one is able to remain at home for years. They can make the decision to move to assisted living in their own time rather than feeling like they were forced into it. We provide everything from conversation to handling daily tasks such as bathing and taking medication. Your loved one will have the independence they want, while you can rest easy knowing that they have someone there to help them with things they may not be able to do comfortably.
Reliant’s senior home care services are flexible and customizable. We work closely with you and your loved ones to ensure they receive the care needed when it’s needed. We can also provide you with a range of resources to help you learn how to best support your loved one.
Veteran Care
Veterans often find themselves in need of a little extra help, but they’re one of the most underserved groups. According to the National Institute of Health, around 44 percent of veterans don’t seek out the home care they need, despite resources such as the VA. These individuals are often struggling with both physical injuries and conditions as well as PTSD.
Veterans have unique health and home care needs because of what they have experienced. While they may be dealing with some of the same health issues that other adults and seniors are, there’s also the added mental and emotional component that has to be addressed. Veterans also often suffer from different health conditions due to the environments they were exposed to during service. It’s important that an in-home care provider fully understands all of this.
For example, some veterans struggle with crowds and with loud noises. We can help with this by doing shopping or picking up medications. We assist those who have lost limbs in combat continue to live independently and work with individuals struggling with depression and stress disorders. If your loved one is a veteran, we will work with you to make sure they are getting the care they need.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care
Caring for a loved one who is struggling with Alzheimer’s or dementia can be especially difficult. Often, you’re not just watching your loved one deteriorate physically, you’re also watching them slowly lose who they are. It’s physically tiring, but even worse, it’s emotionally exhausting. You may not be prepared for the toll it will take, especially as the condition progresses.
Reliant’s caregivers have a full understanding of these diseases and how they affect individuals. We strive to provide them with the best care while also supporting them emotionally. For example, we know they may not remember who their caregivers are, so we make certain to introduce ourselves each time. We know it can be difficult to trust someone with your loved one when they’re fragile, and we appreciate that you put that trust in us. Whether you need someone to sit with your loved one and keep them company or assist them with taking their medications and eating a healthy meal, Reliant is here for you.
Family Care
While we do often provide senior home care services and assist veterans, we understand that they’re not the only individuals who need a little help. Young people who were born with certain health conditions or complications need help, too. Our caregivers are here for them, too. We work with parents to determine the best course of care for these young patients, especially those who may need long-term or life-long care.
Often, younger patients are scared. They’re facing health conditions that would frighten an adult. Some may want to know more about their condition, especially if it’s something new. Others may do their best to ignore it or may not be aware of it. Before we provide care, we will work closely with the child’s parents and other family members and care providers to understand what approach is the most appropriate for the child. Our goal is to always make them feel safe and secure, even if they’re facing some of the most challenging health conditions.
Respite Care
Being a caregiver is one of the most commendable jobs you can take on. However, it also involves sacrifice. You may have willingly made this sacrifice to help your loved one, but you still had to give something up. For some, it means leaving school or not going to college at all. Others sacrifice their careers or even their relationships. Even if you haven’t given up something, the time and effort you put into being a caregiver will impact your job, your family, and even your health.
If you’ve been running yourself ragged taking care of your loved one while also managing your own life, you need a break. That’s what our respite care offers. We give you the time you need to handle your own tasks, attend to your needs, or simply take a break. Rest is important. You can’t be at your best if you’re tired and burnt out. There’s nothing shameful or weak about needing a break from your loved one. It doesn’t mean you don’t love them or want to care for them. It just means you’re human.
Our respite care can involve everything from simply keeping your loved one company to helping them with basic tasks while you’re away. Your loved one benefits from getting to meet someone new. They can share all of their stories with us while you’re out running errands or taking a break. In return, they benefit from hearing our stories and having conversations with someone new. We can provide respite care for a few hours every week or for an entire day as needed. It’s up to you. In the end, you get the rest you need, your loved one is able to share stories and knowledge with us, and we have the privilege of making a new friend.
Staffing Solutions
In addition to providing care for loved ones at home, Reliant also works with local physician’s offices, hospitals, and other medical centers to ensure that they have the staff necessary to provide top-level care. We match independent LVNs, registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, and other medical experts with care facilities in need of help. Sometimes these contracts are for a week or so. Other times, they’re long-term contracts. If you’re an independent care provider looking for contracts or a care agency in need of assistance, reach out to Reliant today. We will find the perfect match for your needs.
While the services we provide are non-medical, our staffing solutions do include both medical and non-medical positions.
Often, younger patients are scared. They’re facing health conditions that would frighten an adult. Some may want to know more about their condition, especially if it’s something new. Others may do their best to ignore it or may not be aware of it. Before we provide care, we will work closely with the child’s parents and other family members and care providers to understand what approach is the most appropriate for the child. Our goal is to always make them feel safe and secure, even if they’re facing some of the most challenging health conditions.
How We Work
Getting help shouldn’t be difficult, nor should it be a long, drawn-out process. When you reach out to work with Reliant, we want to make the process easy, but we also want to be certain we’re providing the right type of care. All of our care programs are customized for each patient, so every individual receives a personalized care program.
To do that, we first begin with an assessment. We will answer any questions you may have and then schedule an in-person meeting at your loved one’s place of residence. At this meeting, we will answer any additional questions and walk everyone through the process, making certain your loved one is heard and is completely comfortable with all decisions.
During this visit, we will also do a home safety assessment. We will walk your home looking for things such as loose rugs, steps, and other areas that could be safety hazards. We have plans for addressing these common risks, and often, they can be mitigated with a few simple changes or additions to your home such as handrails or rug tape.
Next, you meet with the care coordinator. Here, you will build a detailed plan of care. This plan includes how often a caregiver comes to help your loved one, what the caregivers will do, and other information. The care coordinator will provide a very thorough explanation of every step of the plan. We want to let your loved one know that they and their home will be respected and treated with the utmost care and respect.
This is an extra meeting that some providers skip by rolling it into the home assessment, but we believe it’s important that you work with a professional expert throughout the entire process. It’s also important that you and your loved one have some time to absorb information and think about your needs. We don’t want to rush anything or put any extra pressure on you, so it helps to split these tasks up.
