In-home personal care services are essential for those living with an illness, disability, injury, memory impairment, or when age begins to limit mobility. UHC services range from personal hygiene support to companionship and wellness visits. We have a compassionate team that truly cares about each client we work with and show up to serve and help out.
Personal hygiene care
Personal hygiene care in your home with familiar settings provides a more comfortable and relaxed experience. We will conduct a home assessment, and make suggestions on eliminating any hazard that can be a barrier, and how to create a safer environment. We help you safely shower, bathe, move to and from the toilet, assist with dressing, brush or comb your hair, and apply any personal products to help you feel your best.
Wellness visits
Wellness visits can promote better health and give your loved ones peace of mind and sense of security. UHC visits also allow us to identify any health issues early and recommend medical assistance or additional care as needed.
Companionship
We all need human connection. Companionship is essential for our mental and emotional health, which benefits our overall quality of life. At UHC, we’ve seen the benefits it provides our clients to simply have a conversation, read aloud, play board games, go for walks, listen to music, etc.
Arranging transportation
Whether it’s for appointments, shopping, or social gatherings, we make sure you get to and from your destination safely. This includes ensuring that the vehicle is wheelchair accessible and, if a transportation company is involved, coordinating with drivers.
At Umbrella Home Care, we understand that hiring in-home personal care services for yourself or your loved one can be challenging. You want a professional, dependable, compassionate, and honest team you can trust. Our caregivers are qualified, trained, and experienced, and genuinely provide the type of care that we would give to our own families. Our in-home consultation allows us to get to know your needs and for you to determine whether we’re a good fit for you and your family.
