Reliant Home Care Services
Home Care
Many people take on the responsibility of caring for another, whether that person is an aging parent, a seriously injured partner, or a child who was born with special needs. It’s incredibly selfless and commendable to dedicate your life to taking care of someone else. However, one thing we’ve seen time and again is that many of these caregivers feel like they have to do everything. They see it as their responsibility and feel like asking for help or even thinking about it is betraying their loved one.
It’s not. It’s okay to ask for help. In fact, having someone step in every now and then to care for your loved one while you take a break is one of the most responsible things you can do. No one can provide care 24/7/365 without beginning to feel burnt out. Sometimes, you do need to take time for yourself, even if it’s just to pay your bills or go grocery shopping.
This is where Reliant Home Care comes in. We can provide the help you need, whether it’s a few hours every now and then or every day.
What Our Home Care Services Include
When you reach out to Reliant, we will work with you and your loved one to determine the best care options. Here are some of the services we can provide:
- Assistance dressing, preparing meals, and other daily activities.
- Help with light housework.
- Provide transportation to appointments with doctors and other care providers.
- Remind your loved one to take their medication on time.
- Ensure your loved one doesn’t fall when standing and walking.
- Sit with your loved one so you can attend to your own needs.
- Provide conversation and socialization for those who aren’t able to attend social events.
We can provide any or all of these services depending on what your loved one needs. We will work closely with you to ensure that we’re always providing the right services for your loved one. Some individuals may only need someone to keep them company for a few hours to ensure that they don’t fall or need anything. Others may need help with many daily activities as well as assistance in getting to the bathroom or moving from the bed to a chair. We tailor all of our services to what your loved one needs to allow them to live as independently as they are able.
We Also Help with Home Safety Audits
In addition to providing home care services, we also assist in making your loved one’s home a safe space. There are many risks that we simply don’t think about because they have always been in our homes, and they’ve never been a risk before. You may have a short step down into your garage that’s never been an issue, but if your loved one is starting to suffer from joint issues that are affecting their mobility, that little step is now a tripping hazard. The same is true with rugs, cords stretched across the room, and slick floors in the bathroom.
One of the first things we will do after you partner with Reliant is a home audit. We will look for hazards that could lead to falls and other injuries that take into account your loved one’s health. For example, if your loved one has poor eyesight, we will look at the lighting in areas such as the kitchen. In low light, your loved one may accidentally cut themselves with a knife or fail to see a glass on the counter until they’ve knocked it off. The end result is that your loved one will be safer and be able to remain in their home for longer.

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.
