Arlington, VA Home Care Services
In Arlington, about 20,500 people are 65+ years old, which is about 11% of the area’s total population. Understandably, most seniors prefer to stay in their homes for as long as possible, retaining their independence and maintaining their familiar surroundings.
This desire has increased demand for in-home care services in the Arlington, VA area. Georgetown Home Care is a reliable resource, providing seniors and their families with the necessary support to remain safely self-sufficient at home.*
Our experienced caregivers offer a range of services that include:
Welcome Home Program (Transition From Hospital Stay)
Getting home from the hospital can be a little stressful for everyone involved. Our caregivers can provide three different methods of transporting your senior loved one back to their home: accompany them in an Uber Health services vehicle, drive them in the caregiver’s vehicle (the client will be charged for mileage), or the caregiver can drive the client’s own vehicle.
As a part of our Welcome Home Program, the caregiver will also provide or facilitate:
- Helping the client to get changed, comfortable, and situated
- Grocery pickup to fill the fridge and pantry
- Prescription orders/pickup/refills
- Medication reminders
- Laundry and linen changes
- Light housekeeping for appearance, health, and safety (see more below)
- Assistance with bathing and toileting
- Companionship
These services—combined with longer-term home care if needed—significantly reduce a patient’s risk of hospital readmission.
Learn MoreCompanionship
Leaving home to interact with the public can be daunting, even with assistance. But, social interaction is critical to keep seniors from becoming reclusive, isolated, or even depressed.
Seniors living in Arlington, VA might want to leave the house and do something “touristy” like visiting Theodore Roosevelt Island Park or the Arlington Farmers Market might be reluctant to take such an excursion.
Georgetown Home Care’s companionship services address this need by providing positive social interaction in the comfort of the client’s own space.
Activities can include:
- General conversation
- Playing cards or games
- Watching TV or movies
- Exercising
- Reading out loud
- Listening to music
- Sitting together quietly on a patio or yard
This is considered a “hands-free” service, meaning our caregivers do not initiate touch. However, they will gladly provide physical support when needed. This could include helping to stand up from a chair, offering a steadying hand, or giving a comforting hug when requested. Anything beyond that, however, is considered part of our personal care service offerings.
Learn MorePersonal Care
Our personal care services aim to support any of the 20,500 Arlington, VA seniors who are living alone in their homes. We tailor our care to each client’s specific needs and circumstances.
Our personal care services for seniors include:
- Help with daily activities like bathing and dressing
- Medication reminders and health monitoring
- Consistent companionship to reduce isolation
- Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation
Additionally, our experienced caregivers are knowledgeable about local senior resources. We want to help seniors maintain independence and quality of life as they age in place, connecting them with their community while simultaneously providing quality in-home care.
Learn MoreErrands and Transportation
Studies show that, especially for seniors, consistent interaction with the community around them is essential to their well-being. Whether heading to Virginia Square for some people-watching or checking out the beautiful flowers at Netherlands Carillon—our goal is to keep your senior loved one in touch with the world around them!
While not stand-alone services, errand running and transportation assistance can be combined with personal or respite care services. Using Uber Health (or the patient or caregiver’s vehicle if that is agreed upon), our caregivers can accompany seniors out and about town to:
- Run errands
- Grocery shop
- Pick up and fill prescriptions
- Handle dry cleaning
- Attend family and social events
- Maintain medical, health, and beauty appointments
- Attend a movie or theater performance
- Dine out at their favorite restaurants
- Attend religious services
- Answer phones
- A short trip to one of the many wheelchair and walker-accessible area parks, like Potomac Yard Trail, to benefit overall health and well-being
Respite Care
Sometimes, primary caregivers just need a break. This is when you can tap into our respite care services. We offer respite care for several hours, an entire day, or 24-hour care shifts—allowing primary caregivers to enjoy a weekend or longer-term vacation away from the responsibilities of caring for their senior loved one.
Respite care services are highly recommended to prevent primary caregiver burnout, keep the senior’s schedule intact, and allow the senior to:
- Maintain their appointments
- Attend family functions
- Enjoy social time with friends or family
- Take advantage of self-care
- Go on a walk, hike, or to an exercise class
- Take a vacation
- Non-Senior Home Care (Adult Day Care)
We also provide in-home, non-senior home care for adults with disabilities or mobility issues that inhibit them from completing daily tasks without assistance. This service includes all of the services listed above.
Non-senior home care services are also geared towards adults who are post-operative and need support at home for the first days, weeks, or months as they rehabilitate.
