Senior Home Care

Since 2004, Axis Home Care Services has been providing non-medical in-home care for those who are recovering from an injury, illness, are permanently disabled or have become too elderly and are incapable of managing their daily activities without some help.

Providing homecare assistance is what we do. For example our in home care for seniors will provide non-medical care such as personal care, homemaker services and companionship services. Below are descriptions of some of the regular services which our senior helpers provide to make senior living at home as independent and comfortable as possible.

Bathing

Bathing is essential to an individuals sense of well-being. It refreshes the spirit, provides relaxation while cleansing the skin and stimulating circulation.

Mobility

Activity and exercise are vital to a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of movement to both physical and mental health are seen in everyday life. Benefits include increasing stamina, strengthening the heart, lowering blood pressure, improving digestion and sleep.In addition it improves mood, releases stress and increases mental alertness.

Moving or placing a person into a correct posture position encourages the functional activity of the bodies many systems. It assists ineliminating pressure areas on the skin, reducing atrophy andstiffening of muscles, encourages proper breathing, digestion,and elimination.

Incontinence Care

The inability to control urination or defecation is embarrassing toindividuals and can become unsanitary if not taken care of correctly. Our caregivers understand the sensitivity of this situation and approaches to caring for individuals who need assistance.

Oral Hygiene

Proper mouth, teeth, denture and gum care are essentials to good oral and dental hygiene. Daily oral care can prevent bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease and assist in prevention of other diseases.

Toileting

Elimination is an important and normal body function. However, it is usually an activity that is private and one that is not openly discussed. The individual often faces embarrassment along with a sense of loss of independence. Our caregivers strive to provide an acceptable, comfortable and safe environment for all types of toileting needs.

Feeding

We understand that it is usually hard for an adult to accept the idea of not being able to feed themselves. The reasons are varied, however the sense of loss of independence is real. Our caregivers understand the feelings this can cause and take the extra effort to make the environment and mealtime special.
