What is In-Home Care?

In-home care is a form of assistance provided to older adults residing in their own homes. At Ohana Care, we offer elderly home care assistance in live-in facilities, retirement homes, or private residences. This care allows seniors to remain in a familiar home environment, surrounded by their belongings and cherished memories while receiving personal, medical, or home support.

Our in-home care includes:

  • Meal Assistance

Our Senior Home Care Services

The following services are provided by Ohana Care’s professional Licensed Practical Nurses and Health Care Aides, who undergo regular training sessions to address a variety of needs beyond health care.

At times, seniors can feel isolated. Our team specializes in companionship, offering mental and social stimulation through activities such as chatting, shopping, walking, and more. We will accompany your elderly loved ones to ensure their happiness and well-being.

If your family caregiver is planning a vacation or has other personal obligations, we’re here to help. Our care team can provide family caregivers with assistance, ensuring senior clients receive the care they need while the caregiver takes a well-deserved break.

Our dementia care services support those on a slow mental decline. Our experts know how to support all forms of dementia and seek to reduce any anxiety, concerns, and confusion that you or your loved one may have.


Dressing Assistance

Our team will ensure you are always dressed in comfortable attire, whether you are staying home to rest or going shopping. When we look good, we feel good.

Bathing Assistance

It’s important to lend a helping hand every time our elderly loved ones step in the shower to prevent the risk of a serious injury from a slip or fall. That’s why our team members are equipped to ensure a safe and comfortable bathing experience.

Medication Assistance

We will ensure you or your loved one receives the right medications on time, every time. This is of utmost importance, and we will make sure your loved one always keeps up with their medications so they can focus more on what they love doing.

Meal Assistance

As we age, our bodies change in the way we metabolize food. Our trained staff will assist you in preparing your preferred meals while keeping a nutritious diet, whether for a single meal or for the entire week. Simply call us, and we’ll arrange a meeting to discuss your own needs and dietary requirements.

Around-the-Clock Care

Need someone to look after your loved ones 24/7? We’ll send our staff to your home to make sure you have a person looking after your loved one at all hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re a licensed and bonded company and perform criminal and vulnerable sector police checks on all of our home care employees. Your loved one’s safety is our top priority.

When returning from the hospital

Going from 24/7 assistance to being alone can be unsafe and scary. LPNs and HCAs can help you cope with your return and set you up for a speedy recovery.

LEARN ABOUT RESPITE CARE

When you or your loved one has an unexpected fall

Daily check-ins, company, accompaniment to medical appointments, driver to go to social activities, errands, help around the house, presence when contractors come in (landscape, electricians, plumbers, etc.), assistance with activities of daily living, regular home risk consultations, and help with technology.

When independence is at stake

Respite for the primary caregiver, help around the house, companionship during social activities, intellectual stimulation, transportation to and from a day program, and guidance for the senior living with dementia to assist with chores.

When care is becoming too much for the primary caregiver

If family caregivers are increasingly frustrated and tired or hurt themselves, there are now two clients. We can care for the household and assist with chores to alleviate stress and give everyone time to enjoy each other’s company!

When the primary caregiver is going away

Ohana Care can send caregivers for short-term contracts as well.

When learning of a new diagnosis or going through new treatments

New medications can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects, and conducting daily wellness checks may not be feasible. Our LPNs and HCAs can provide assistance by monitoring your vitals, skin, moods, balance, and more. Additionally, they are equipped to provide care if you have severe nausea, get very weak, are at risk of falling, or if your judgment is impeded.

We’re registered with the Veterans Affairs for health services, Veterans Respite, and Veterans Independence Program.

Health Care Aide (HCA)

HCA

Typically, a Health Care Aide will spend more time with clients, getting them ready in the morning, assisting with breakfast, and providing medication reminders. Our Health Care Aides also support our client's quality of life by changing bedding, doing laundry, respecting their regular routine, and being a companion.

Health Care Aides also serve as companions when clients experience “Unscheduled Care Needs,” which refers to requiring assistance throughout the day that cannot be scheduled. These needs include incontinence, transfers, asthma pumps, PRN medication (aches, diarrhea, constipation, headaches), and more.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

  • Head to toe assessment
  • Foot and hand care
  • Dressings

  • Wound management
  • Blood pressure monitoring
  • Vitals
  • Insulin injections
  • Communication with other healthcare professionals

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) primarily concentrate on the medical aspects of client care. Their visits may be as brief as one hour, during which they ensure there aren’t any significant changes in the client’s health, verify that HCAs are adhering to the care plan, assist with more complex care needs, and assess the client’s overall well-being. LPNs may only visit clients immediately following their discharge from the hospital or when implementing a new care plan.

In our initial meeting, we will collaboratively assess what suits you and your family best. We will consider factors such as gender, medical conditions, and any additional requirements. If at any point you are dissatisfied with the caregiver entering your home, please let us know as soon as possible. It's important you feel safe and respected and know you are in control of the situation.

We charge for a minimum of four hours, but we encourage you to make the most of this time. During this period, we can perform a home safety check, wash the dishes, fold laundry, inspect items in the refrigerator to ensure they haven’t expired, assist with phone calls, help type emails, and other basic care needs. However, some exceptions may apply to the minimum hours. Book your free consultation to find out more.

We provide real-time web access to your care information from anywhere, on any device, through our Family Portal. You can add as many people as you want to have access to your full schedule of visits, care team, care plan, visit update and invoices. To learn all about our Family Portal, click here.

You can also call or email your Care Manager at any time to discuss.
