Rapid City Comprehensive In-Home Care Services
We want our clients to live full lives, so our in-home care services aim to maximize their capacity by assisting them with everyday tasks that they may find challenging. As our clients’ requirements evolve, we will provide ongoing needs assessments to change how we help and ensure we can continue filling gaps in their functioning.
Elderly Care and Caregiver Support
We all age differently, so the level of care we receive should reflect our specific needs as we age. Standardized care packages can cover most everyday needs, but there will always be people with particular requirements that these plans exclude.
To be fully inclusive, we tailor our care plans to reflect the individual needs of our clients. Our process is simple but thorough. We will first conduct a client consultation to discuss the client’s needs and preferences with the client and their family. Then, we will do a detailed needs assessment to examine the finer details, like daily tasks, transport and mobility assistance. Finally, we will discuss how much family members will involve themselves in the care process.
Choosing us means working with professional caregiver support for the client and their family. Care is all about people, and we want to make offering assistance easy for everyone. We are happy to provide family members with information, offer respite to primary caregivers and provide peace of mind that their loved one is in the hands of a professional.
Social Companionship and Assistance
The aging process can leave people with less mobility, a shrunken friend group and a family that’s far away, which can lead to loneliness and social isolation. Our caregivers offer companionship to help clients achieve the benefits of socializing.
Part of how we choose a caregiver for a particular client is their connection. We want them to form a bond so that their client has regular social interactions and becomes close to a new person. They can participate in a range of activities together, such as watching movies, playing games, gardening and baking.
A foundation of our service is assisting with daily living activities. We want our clients to have a home that’s clean and tidy. Our daily living activity assistance includes:
- Cooking and eating
- Light housekeeping
- Laundry services
- Hygiene maintenance
- Dressing
- Toileting
Our customizable care plans allow us to adapt these services as client needs evolve over time.
Personal Hygiene Assistance
Limited mobility and aging can make keeping up with standard hygiene practices challenging, but hygiene is vital to preventing other health issues and keeping people feeling good about themselves. Our caregivers will help clients maintain these habits with dignity. We offer assistance with personal grooming practices like handwashing, shaving and hair washing and brushing. If clients require help bathing and dressing, our caregivers can also help them with these practices.
Proper oral care is another vital hygiene task we help our clients maintain. Bad breath, cavities and gum disease are all factors that influence how a person feels. We want our clients to have a smile they can be proud of so they can remain confident in social settings and maintain good overall health. Flossing, brushing, denture cleaning and mouthwash help are all part of our hygiene assistance.
Along with maintaining good hygiene, our caregivers can provide medication reminders and management. We cannot administer medicines as we aren’t a skilled care agency, but we can keep our clients on their medication schedules and remind them to take their medications.
Meal Preparation and Transportation Services
We can also help with cooking so your loved ones can eat nutritious food regularly. We use fresh, healthy ingredients and create meal plans that consider dietary restrictions and preferences. As part of providing companionship, our caregivers can sit and enjoy the meal with their clients, providing conversation during meal times.
A large part of maintaining independence is traveling outside the home. Our appointment transportation service helps clients keep their autonomy while providing practical benefits like accompanied transport to medical appointments, running errands or even social events.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Navigating through the care process is rewarding and challenging. Feeling stressed is common for primary caregivers, and time to recharge is a necessity. For this reason, we offer temporary assistance with our respite care. This care can be short term, if you need to leave for an afternoon to attend a dentist’s appointment, for example, or longer term, like if you want to go on vacation for a few days. If you wish to schedule respite care more regularly, we can accommodate you.
Burnout can affect the quality of care you can give your loved one as the primary caregiver. By looking after yourself properly, you are looking after your loved one.
Why Choose Village Caregiving?
There is a reason we are the largest private in-home care service in the United States. Our excellent employee training, treatment and benefits draw people in. We foster an atmosphere of compassion and empathy for our clients and provide them with a top-quality care experience. Our benefits, flexible schedules and ongoing training make us one of the most popular in-home care services to work with. We treat our people well so they can remain happy and compassionate and pass on that warmth to the people they provide services to.
We pride ourselves on our flexibility. Where other places may say no, we say yes. If it’s safe and will improve a client’s mood or health, it’s okay to do. For example, if a client wants their favorite ice cream, we would encourage the caregiver to get it to them the next time they come for their shift. This may seem small, but these small acts of kindness add up and go a long way in strengthening the bond between caregiver and client.

Accepting Medicare and Medicaid
We want to be as inclusive as possible to ensure everyone gets a high standard of care for themselves or their loved ones.

The following is a list of some of the payment options we will accept:
- Long-term care insurance
