The idea of “aging in place” has become a goal for many families in The Villages — and full-service home care makes that dream a reality. But if you’re exploring options, you may be wondering: what services are actually included in home care?
Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of support our caregivers provide.
🧼 Personal Care & Hygiene
Helping with daily routines that maintain comfort and dignity:
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming assistance
- Toileting and incontinence support
- Assistance with mobility, transfers, and walking
This type of hands-on support is especially helpful after surgery, during recovery, or for those facing chronic health challenges.
🍽️ Meal Support & Medication Reminders
Keeping seniors nourished, hydrated, and on schedule:
- Meal planning and healthy food preparation
- Grocery list assistance and light shopping
- Reminders to take prescribed medications at the right time
Many of our clients in The Villages appreciate help maintaining their independence while staying on top of their nutrition and wellness routines.
🏠 Household Help
Light chores that keep the home environment safe and comfortable:
- Light housekeeping (laundry, dishes, tidying)
- Organizing living spaces for safety and ease
- Taking out trash and changing linens
This kind of support prevents clutter and falls — especially important in retirement homes or single-level residences common in The Villages.
💬 Companionship & Social Support
Meaningful interaction to prevent loneliness and promote well-being:
- Friendly conversation and mental stimulation
- Playing games, listening to music, or reading together
- Going for walks or rides in the golf cart
Whether it’s a daily visit or weekly check-in, social care is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle.
🚗 Transportation & Errands
Helping your loved one stay active and connected:
- Rides to medical appointments
- Help running errands like pharmacy pickups
- Transportation to social events or club meetups
We often support seniors attending appointments, shopping at Lake Sumter Landing, or even heading out for lunch with friends.
📋 Care Plans Tailored to Your Loved One
Every senior’s needs are different — so every care plan should be, too.
At The Villages Home Care, we take the time to understand your loved one’s personality, routines, and concerns. Then we match them with a caregiver who fits both their needs and their lifestyle.
