Sometimes, just a little support with the housework or gardening means you can enjoy living at home without worrying about how you’ll get everything done. We understand the tremendous impact that a helping hand with the day-to-day tasks of life can have. As such, we offer a range of services to help you with the household chores.
Make a list of the chores you’d like done for example: changing the bed sheets, laundry, cleaning the house, washing the dishes, watering the plants, dusting etc.
Help with cooking
If you’re finding it difficult to cook, and do not want to eat ready meals from the supermarket, or the frozen or chilled meals, Elmur Community Services can help you out by cooking fresh and hot meals for you daily.
Help with gardening
Doing small jobs around the home and garden can be a chore whatever your age, but especially if you aren’t as mobile as you used to be. If your garden becomes too much to manage, you could look for Elmur Community Services to assist you with gardening activities in your home. Gardening can offer a myriad of health benefits for people living with disabilities and seniors by providing exercise, friendships, stimulation and relaxation. With some planning and consideration, an accessible, productive and pleasant garden can be developed.
Help with laundry
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of freshly cleaned sheets. We can assist you to do your laundry, including washing and drying clothes and linen, as well as folding, sorting, ironing and putting them away. We can also help with hand washing.
A housekeeping assistant can take care of this on a designated weekly ‘laundry day’, or help you to keep on top of things at regular times each week. Because our cleaning and laundry services are flexible to suit your requirements, you still have complete control over what support you receive. Priorities can change each day or each week, so it means you can ask our assistant to focus on the tasks that are more important at that particular time.
Help with errands and shopping
While many people consider care to be support with personal care or medication administration, we also focus on the other tasks many may forget such as running errands, grocery shopping and support with social activities. Our personal assistant can complete shopping tasks, paperwork, attend appointments with you, offer help to access your local community. By following your direction and instructions we will be able to assist in your life, exactly where you need it.
Help taking care of yourself
You can get help with personal care such as eating and drinking, going to the toilet and personal hygiene, as well as support taking care of your appearance. We believe in the importance of a continuous service and the same familiar faces, especially when it comes to personal care. In getting to know you as a person, your care plan will outline your likes and dislikes, the hygiene or beauty products you want to use and what – and who – you feel most comfortable with. Each carer is expertly trained to provide personal care in a way that is discreet and respectful of your personal boundaries. They undertake extensive training where they learn the importance of enabling your dignity and independence at all times.
Like all forms of care, support with personal care is built completely around your individual needs and personal routines. If you like to wash before breakfast or have a bath before going to bed, a carer will happily follow your schedule, letting you live the way you want.
