Tasks Handled by Our Employees of Village Caregiving
How Does Home Care Work?
Home care is about helping people stay safe and comfortable in their homes as they age or face health challenges. Caregivers come to your home to provide support with daily tasks like cooking, bathing and taking medications. With this assistance, you maintain independence and retain your daily routine. Also, you can tailor services around your needs, whether it’s assistance with cleaning or personal care like bathing. And as your needs change, so does your care plan. Home care also gives families peace of mind so everyone feels supported and cared for.
Services Offered
What Type of Home Care Is Right for You or Your Loved One?
Home care is helpful for those experiencing challenges with daily tasks, recovery from illness or surgery, or chronic conditions. However, you’ll need to consider your specific needs, preferences and lifestyle requirements before choosing the appropriate care plan. Assess the level of daily assistance you require, your companionship needs and budget before talking to potential caregivers and discussing your options.
For flexible, attentive care, trust Village Caregiving to provide the compassionate support you need. We tailor services to meet your preferences. Here are some of the tasks our employees perform.
Respite Care
Balancing caregiving with your responsibilities can be challenging when caring for a loved one. Our respite caregivers can step in temporarily, handling your loved one’s needs while you go to appointments, run errands or take time for yourself, knowing that your loved one is in capable hands.
Errand Assistance
Whether buying groceries or escorting you to a doctor’s appointment, our errand services are tailored to your needs to support self-sufficiency and engagement in daily life.
Hygiene Assistance
Our compassionate and attentive caregivers offer support for personal grooming tasks for people with limited mobility. We assist with bathing, dental care and grooming to help you or your loved one maintain dignity and independence.
Bathing Assistance
As we age, mobility decreases and maintaining hygiene can become challenging. Our caregivers assist with bathing so you can maintain healthy skin and avoid infections, dryness or irritations.
Ambulation
As we age, walking, sitting and standing can become harder, especially for those living alone. Our caregivers provide essential mobility and ambulation support to help your loved one remain active, maintain their strength and stay healthy.
Appointment Transport
It’s not always possible for seniors to travel to appointments alone. For family members, balancing responsibilities can make it hard to support loved ones with appointments. Our appointment transportation services help older adults get where they need to on time and safely.
Companionship
At Village Caregiving, we understand the importance of meaningful companionship for seniors’ well-being. Our personalized support eases loneliness and fosters genuine connections through conversations and activities.
Toileting
Let us assist you or your loved one with using the bathroom safely, transferring from the bed or chair to the toilet and personal hygiene. Our understanding caregivers provide safety and dignity while assisting with these sensitive tasks.
Laundry
If you or a loved one finds it difficult to manage household tasks like laundry, Village Caregiving is here to help. Our caregivers go beyond simply handling linens to help with all your laundry needs so you can enjoy clean, fresh clothing and quality of life.
Light Housekeeping
Most seniors prefer the consistency that aging at home provides but need help maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Our caregivers perform light housekeeping tasks so older adults can enjoy their golden years in hygienic and familiar surroundings.
Cooking and Eating Assistance
Look forward to meal times with our cooking and eating assistance. We’ll make your life easier by handling the preparation of balanced, nutritious meals and keep you company during meal times.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care
Individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia often need home care due to memory loss and safety concerns. Our caregivers assist with daily tasks while providing companionship, which reduces anxiety and supports emotional well-being.
Dressing Assistance
We assist with choosing clothing, fastening buttons and zippers and ensuring balance while getting dressed. The support we provide minimizes strain, reduces the chance of falls and enhances comfort, providing seniors with confidence in their daily routines.
Veteran Home Care
Our empathetic caregivers promote good health and foster emotional well-being with in-home support services to enable veterans to live safely in their own homes as long as possible.
Why Choose Home Care Over a Nursing Home?
Home care agencies and services give seniors the help they need in the comfort of familiar surroundings, so they don’t have to adjust to a new space and routines in a nursing home. Notable benefits of caring for seniors at home include:
Affordability
Home care is usually more affordable than a nursing home.
Health & Safety
Remaining in your home limits exposure to contagious diseases.
Privacy
In-home care allows you to retain your privacy rather than sharing facilities with others.
Home care is the ideal solution for individuals who need assistance with daily tasks. It offers personalized support, safety, comfort and peace of mind. Whether you or a family member needs help with mobility, personal care or companionship, the dedicated and empathetic caregivers at Village Caregiving offer reliable, in-home care tailored to enhance quality of life in familiar surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions
General
Why Should I Use Village Caregiving Instead of a Private Caregiver?
Several reasons: 1) Village Caregiving has backup caregivers in the event of emergencies, call-offs, etc.; 2) Village Caregiving handles all tax withholdings, insurance, workers’ compensation, unemployment, etc.; 3) Village Caregiving employees are thoroughly vetted and insured; and 4) Village Caregiving can provide services 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Will I Be Tied Into a Contract?
Village Caregiving does not require contracts. You can increase, change, or cancel services at any time according to your needs.
How Will Our Relationship Work?
Village Caregiving will make the process as easy as possible for your family. Depending on payer source, we do not require contracts, deposits, or hourly minimums to begin services. Clients have open lines of communication 24 hours a day and 7 days a week with owners, managers, nurses, and caregivers. Our process is very simple, transparent, and based on common sense.
What Are Village Caregiving’s Limitations?
Though we pride ourselves on flexibility, as a home care agency, we do have limitations. Because we provide services in clients’ own homes, there are times when shifts are missed or caregivers are late. We will always do our best to provide backup caregivers, but we are not an emergency service and cannot provide on-demand caregivers in certain situations. When shifts are missed, it is incumbent upon clients to let their local manager know of the situation.
We are not a skilled care agency. As a result, our caregivers cannot administer medications. We can provide basic reminders, but we cannot administer medications. This means we cannot give a shot, apply a topical cream, provide wound care, or do any other activity that is considered medication administration, skilled care, or medical care.
Village Caregiving often provides ambulation assistance for the elderly who are unsteady on their feet. However, please know that Village Caregiving can never restrain a person in any way. You or your loved one are always free to move about your home. While Village Caregiving employees will do their best to help prevent falls, Village Caregiving cannot prevent all falls.
Village Caregiving can offer meal assistance, but Village Caregiving cannot make you or your loved one eat or drink. All Village Caregiving clients have the right to refuse.
Village Caregiving will call 911 during emergencies. We are not paramedics or an emergency medical service.
How Are the Safety and Security of the Elderly Ensured While Receiving Services?
While proper nutrition, medication reminders and supervised ambulation are essential for your loved one, our family caregivers also prioritize companionship to prevent feelings of social isolation. We believe in balancing physical and mental care to give you and your loved one peace of mind.
What Sets Your Company Apart From Competitors?
Our branches are not franchises, and our company was founded by three friends with a shared goal of making a difference. Our founders know from first-hand experience how challenging it can be to find quality help for your loved one, which sparked their desire to establish Village Caregiving. Since then, we built a team of friendly, compassionate Executive Directors who genuinely care about the communities they serve.
What Type of Business is Village Caregiving?
Village Caregiving is the nation’s largest privately owned and operated home care agency. We are not a franchise, chain, or big business. There is no red tape or bureaucracy. Our decisions are driven by the needs of our clients. Our company’s reputation was built with hard work, dedication, love for the communities we serve, and a commitment to common sense and doing the right thing. Learn more about Village Caregiving here!
Do You Prevent Falls?
Village Caregiving cannot prevent all falls, and Village Caregiving cannot and will not restrain a client. However, Village Caregiving’s caregivers can help to mitigate fall risks.
Do You Guarantee Safety?
Village Caregiving cannot ever guarantee safety, but it can attempt to mitigate risks and provide services and support that allow you or your loved one to remain in their home for as long as possible.
Can You Make My Loved One Eat and Drink?
Village Caregiving cannot make your loved one eat or drink. We can provide meal preparation and assistance, though.
Caregivers
Who Will Arrive at My House?
Your local Village Caregiving manager will work to match you or your loved one with a caregiver who fits. This fit is based on schedule and basic care needs. All Village Caregiving employees are able to pass a background check.
Can I Meet With the Caregiver Beforehand?
If you would prefer, we will send our Executive Director or nurse to meet with you before services start. They will use that information to select the ideal caregiver to suit your loved one. Then, you can even meet the potential caregiver to make sure the fit is acceptable.
What Is the Average Years of Experience of the Caregivers?
While we don’t require a set number of years of experience, we do look at the applicant’s qualifications and previous experience to determine whether they are the right fit for the role. Plus, all our family caregivers go through background and reference checks.
Do Any of Your Caregivers Speak Foreign Languages?
In some cases, we can pair your loved one with a caregiver who speaks a foreign language. Feel free to get in touch with our Executive Director to find out if we have a caregiver who speaks the same language as you or your loved one.
What If I Don't Like the Caregiver Assigned to Me or My Loved One?
Be sure to contact the Executive Director anytime you aren’t satisfied with your services. The Executive Director will assess the situation and assign your loved one a different caregiver as soon as possible.
What if a Caregiver Misses a Shift?
Despite best efforts, shifts may be missed. If you or your loved one has an appointment, remember to have a backup plan. You or your loved one must let us know if a shift is missed. When a shift is missed, Village Caregiving will make all reasonable efforts to provide a replacement caregiver.
