Nurtured Nest is available to provide clients with company and engage in conversation, or to sit down to share a meal together. Social contact such as this is proven to enhance the health, happiness and quality of life of seniors. 

Nurtured Nest helps clients look and feel their best. These services enhance clients’ mental as well as physical well-being, helping them feel positive about their appearance. Bathing not only cleanses the skin, but goes deeper to refresh the spirit, provide relaxation and stimulate circulation. 

Nurtured Nest can assist clients as needed with mobility to help them maintain as active a lifestyle as possible. Being able to get out and about offers both physical and mental health benefits to seniors. Physical health benefits of activity include increased stamina and energy, a strengthened heart, lower blood pressure, improved digestion and sleep. In addition, activity improves mood, releases stress and increases mental alertness. 

Nurtured Nest caregivers are trained to move and place clients in a correct posture position to promote health, safety and proper functioning of the body systems. Proper transferring and positioning from or into beds and chairs eliminate pressure areas on the skin, reduce weakening and stiffening of muscles, and encourage proper breathing, digestion and elimination. 

Nurtured Nest compassionately and sensitively care for seniors and other adults, helping them maintain dignity and self-esteem as they receive help with the activities of daily living. Through this caring approach, our caregivers help to lessen clients’ embarrassment associated with the loss of independence related to incontinence and the need for toileting assistance.  

Our Caregivers can help with daily routines such as guided range-of-motion exercise, walking support, and gentle stretching to promote mobility, circulation, and overall well-being. 

Depending on each client’s needs, Nurtured Nest can provide from just a few hours of service a week to full-time in-home care. Through our 24-hour care service, the team at Nurtured Nest coordinates caregiving responsibilities in shifts around the clock. This offers clients and their family’s full-time peace of mind. Specific non-medical home care services can be tailored to meet each client’s needs. This type of continuous in-home care service is ideal for clients who are at risk when unattended, such as people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementia-related conditions.  

Nurtured Nest can provide a customized Plan of Care that adheres to the surgeon’s discharge plans as well as transportation assistance to and from surgical or hospital facilities.

Nurtured Nest can prepare hot, delicious, and nutritious meals, allowing clients to help with preparation according to their ability. Many seniors do not have the opportunity to eat a well-balanced meal, so this service helps seniors get the nutrition they need to enjoy healthier living.  

Some adults may need help feeding themselves. This loss of independence can be difficult to accept. Nurtured Nest understands and will make the extra effort to turn mealtimes into an enjoyable social time. In addition, our caregivers can help make certain that seniors and other clients stay on prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide variety of medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. And in general, we enable our clients to eat a well-balanced diet that provides the energy needed for active living and nutrients for disease prevention, healing and healthy living. 

These home care services can be done in either the client’s home or a laundromat and include washing, drying, ironing and putting things away. Nurtured Nest will involve clients to make sure laundry is done according to their preferences.  

Nurtured Nest light housekeeping services include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms (sinks, tubs, showers and toilets), cleaning kitchens (sinks, appliances, counters, taking out trash), straightening all rooms, organizing closets and drawers, and cleaning any interior windows that can be reached without a ladder. Please note, heavy duty and outdoor cleaning are not part of our services. 

Nurtured Nest provides transportation such as taking clients to medical appointments, barbershops and beauty salons, to the grocery store, on errands, shopping or wherever else a client wants to go. Getting seniors out and about is good for their mind, body and spirit, as well as an integral part of Nurtured Nest Interactive Caregiving.   

Nurtured Nest can assist by reading labels and reminding the client when it is time to take prescribed medication. Although Nurtured Nest Homecare cannot administer medications, they can help ensure that clients take their own prescribed medication
