What is In-Home Care?

Personal care services make everyday tasks easier to complete for elderly people, people with physical disabilities, or people suffering from Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

Personal Care Services in Texarkana, Arkansas

We know that it is important to our clients that they remain as independent as they can for as long as possible. And this means staying in their own home for as long as possible. This is especially important for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia who need familiarity and routine to remain comfortable and lucid. 

We know that we don’t just work for the well-being of our seniors but of their entire family as well. Our highly qualified staff of professionals can provide the care your loved one needs to put your mind at ease when you can’t be there. We offer services for a few hours at a time while you run errands or take some time for yourself or we can work out half-day, full-day, or even 24/7 in-home care options. We’ll work with you to determine how much and what type of care your loved one needs to be comfortable. 

We assist in everyday activities, but we also sit and visit with your loved one to help stimulate them socially. Often, our clients are able to use the time we free up for them to pursue interests and activities they haven’t had time for like crafting, reading, or visiting friends. 

24-Hour Home Care in Texarkana, Arkansas

24-hour in-home care is a big decision. We respect that and we’re here to answer all your questions and walk you through it every step of the way. 24-hour home care can be divided up and practiced in a few different ways – two caregivers with twelve-hour shifts or three caregivers with eight-hour shifts. 



If your loved one has a history of accidents or falls, wanders at night, or leaves the house and often becomes lost, a shift of three caregivers may be best so they’re fresher and at their most alert. 



However, if your loved one has Alzheimer’s or dementia, fewer shifts may be less confusing for them as it means fewer unfamiliar faces and routines. Our Alzheimer’s and dementia clients benefit from in-home care because being surrounded by familiar spaces and objects calms and comfort the mind, making it less likely for them to panic or become confused. 



24-hour in-home care can include respite care services and care for clients transitioning home from a hospital or rehabilitation facility. We also provide services for clients with post-stroke, COPD, diabetes, or other debilitating illnesses. But most of all, we’re offering peace of mind for you – the family. You can’t take care of your loved one 24-hours a day without sacrificing your own health and happiness – and that’s not something your loved one would want. 



If you need hospice in Texarkana, Southern Caregivers also offers 24-hour end of life care. We can help with your loved one’s pain management while giving you the time and space to rest and grieve during this draining time. 

Respite Care in Texarkana, Arkansas

Respite care is meant to do just that, offer a break for the current caregiver of your loved one – you. You deserve a break. We know how difficult it is to trust other people with your loved one’s care, especially if you’ve been doing it for a long time and developed a routine that works. We acknowledge that we will never know your loved one as well as you do – how could we?



But that’s why we make it a point to sit down with you to talk about your cares and concerns. Nothing is too small. The more we know about our clients, the better we can care for them as a whole person. And the more we know about them and can personalize their care, the happier and more comfortable you’ll be allowing us to care for them.  

Alzheimer's and Dementia Care in Texarkana, Arkansas

We provide caregiving services for seniors with Alzheimer’s and Dementia who need extra assistance to stay in their homes. We pride ourselves on our continuing Alzheimer’s and dementia care education – our caregivers are always trained in the most up-to-date caregiving practices and requirements. 

We provide in-home care for our clients suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia, but we also offer care for clients in independent living facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and assisted living in Texarkana. We know that it is not always possible, or safe, for your loved one to stay in their home – especially as dementia progresses. We can help you make that transition more smoothly, and often the same caregiver who was with your loved one in their home can care for them in their new facility – which can give them a familiar face and routine in a new and confusing environment. 

 If you’re looking for senior care in Texarkana, contact Southern Caregivers. Our team of compassionate, trained professionals can help you develop a care plan for your loved one that makes their life – and yours – easier and more pleasant.
