If your senior parent, relative, or friend in Birmingham, AL or surrounding areas seems to be struggling, Express Senior Care can help. Our professional in-home companion and homemaker service combines comfortable human interaction with “extra assistance” for daily living activities. As a result, your loved one can maintain independence and a healthy lifestyle in the privacy of their residence.

What are Companion Care and Homemaking Services?

Companion Care and Homemaking services are non-medical, basic supervision services to ensure your loved one’s safety and overall well-being. Overall wellness is not only physical health but also includes emotional health, so care must also place emphasis on social awareness. Social isolation is a growing problem among our elderly citizens. Loneliness can have a detrimental effect on health and quality of life, making it less likely that family members will notice signs of illness or worsening symptoms of chronic disease. Having scheduled in-home care visits from Express Senior Care professional caregivers can boost the general well-being of your loved one. We can also help your loved one remain independent while offering care and support.

Our companion care service is designed to be appropriate for both the traditional home environment as well as independent or assisted-living residents. From simple companionship to sharing their favorite pastime, our caregivers seek to encourage all clients to bathe, get dressed and take their medication, to go out for various social activities, and more.

In-Home Companion Care and Homemaking Services include (but are not limited to):

• Socialization and companionship
• Meal planning and preparation
• Transportation to activities and social events
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Shopping and errands
• Escorting to physician appointments
• Medication reminders
• Planning and encouraging social activities
• Organization of mail and paperwork
• Safety, comfort, and peace of mind
• Pet and houseplant care

Our professional companions can spend selected days in a week or a few hours a day with your loved one. These services provide isolated seniors with social interaction and regular companionship, ending the cycle of senior isolation. This service can also double the safety supervision for those living alone.

Express Senior Care Understands the Challenges You Face

Adult children living far away from their elderly parents find it difficult to provide daily-living support and security for a parent or grandparent who needs it. That is why our compassionate caregivers go through detailed reviews before being allowed into your loved one’s home. Our reviews include employment and criminal background checks, drug testing, reference, and work experience checks, annual medical history updates, Alabama licensing and insurance, and bonding by Express Senior Care. Our goal is to pair the perfect caregiver with your family member.

A Trusted Solution For Your In-Home Elderly Companion Care Needs

We created Express Senior Care because of our own firsthand experiences with aging parents and the tough decisions that need to be made proactively to ensure their health and well-being. Life is already complicated, but when faced with the added responsibility of caring for a parent and making life-changing decisions, it can be overwhelming both physically and emotionally.

We have gained the trust and confidence of elderly family members for years by delivering affordable, high-quality, in-home senior care services – even becoming a part of the “extended family” when the family cannot be here. We put your mind at ease knowing that your loved one is safe and very well taken care of by a friendly face and dependable hands.
