Home Care Services In Northern, VA

Whether it’s due to injury, illness, or aging, sometimes, older adults need little extra help, especially at home. However, family members and friends can’t always be there 24/7 to assist their aging loved one. That’s where KB Healthcare Services comes in. Our personalized care plans and compassionate caregivers help seniors live independently in their own home and continue to do everything they love.

• • Help with going to bed or getting up
  • Help with meal preparation (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack)
  • Assistance with medication
  • Toileting/continence care
  • Assistance with personal care, i.e. bathing, washing/personal hygiene
  • Moving and handling – using acceptable manual handling equipment and techniques
  • Assistance with shaving, washing hair/styling/combing (this excludes wet shaving)

Even though home care may not necessarily have a direct effect on your health, it can help you feel better. The reduced stress alone can improve various aspects of your health. On top of that, you will have more time to do things that can be used to enhance your quality of life.

Exercise is the key to staying independent and fit, especially with advancing age. Feeling a little intimidated by the idea of regular exercise is understandable; physical confines and the fear of injury are common concerns, especially if we are not as mobile as we used to be. Thankfully, KB Healthcare Services offer senior-friendly fitness classes and tailored exercise programs to fit the needs of residents and home care recipients alike.

The KB Healthcare Services approach to health is holistic, which is why we are proud to offer assistance in establishing an easy and enjoyable exercise routine for our seniors. This not only helps the seniors maintain physical health but also improve their overall quality of life while keeping a sense of independence.

• Senior Chair Exercises
• Yoga & Tai Chi for Seniors
• Stretching Exercises for Seniors
• Walking Exercises for Seniors

These physical activities will keep seniors busy and they’ll have something to look forward to with each session day after day. We even encourage our seniors to set exercise goals. Aside from having a sense of accomplishment when these goals are met, they also gain better health over time with the increased fitness activities they’ve undertaken.

When an older adult lives with a chronic illness or a disability, they’re in need of support and care for daily help with meals, personal care, and other activities. The needs may not require an intensive level of care like that of a nursing home, but at a higher level than what’s received at home.

Assisted living is part of a continuum of long-term care services that offer services in combination with housing, personal care services, and healthcare that help residents in need of assistance with everyday activities in a manner that encourages maximum independence.

The possibility that you or a family member could have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia is scary. In fact, because there’s a kind of stigma attached to this disease, people are more inclined to hide their symptoms. Never take this approach! Tell your family and friends so you can manage the disease in the most efficient way. The support from loved ones can prove to be invaluable during this difficult time.

Our caregivers also play a role in relieving the burdens faced by family caregivers who may be overwhelmed by the duties that come with caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. We provide routine check-ins, regular monitoring, and after-hours line so that you and your family have the maximum peace of mind.
