Care & Companionship For Our Seniors in the Metro Atlanta Area

At Discovery HomeCare, our senior care services are tailored to meet your needs. Seniors receive one-on-one care from a professionally trained caregiver that understands their personal needs.

Overnight Care

Overnight care is frequently needed as seniors age. They often have trouble sleeping or wake up during the night disoriented and afraid. Our trained caregivers can be there to assist your loved one with using the restroom, supplying fluids, snacks or simply provide comfort. Our overnight caregivers can provide several personal care services, such as:

  • Bathing
  • Skincare & make-up
  • Continence care
  • Dressing and grooming
  • Personal hygiene
  • Restroom assistance
  • Active range-of-motion assistance
  • Transfer & ambulatory assistance
  • Companionship
  • Medication reminders

Respite Care

Respite care is not only for the elderly and disabled adults, but also for the primary caregiver. Primary caregivers can become overwhelmed with the day-to-day responsibilities of caregiving. They too need a break to run errands, go to dinner or simply spend time with friends. These services allow the primary caregiver to take that much needed break. Whether it is for an afternoon or a few hours in the evening, we are there to look after your loved one and take care of their needs. Some of our respite services offered:

  • Housekeeping
  • Personal care
  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Travel companion
  • Appointments
  • Grocery shopping
  • Errands

Transportation Service

Losing the ability to drive doesn’t have to mean seniors can’t do the things they once enjoyed. Our caregivers offer them the freedom and experience of independence they once had. Let us be their chauffeur.

  • Doctor’s appointments and/or therapy
  • Medical procedures
  • Hair appointments
  • Visits with friends or family
  • Religious services
  • Special events (weddings, birthdays, graduations )
  • Pick up prescriptions
  • Shopping

Home Care for Alzheimer's, Dementia, & Wander Risk

Our caregivers understand the difficulties faced by seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Advanced symptoms like confusion, withdrawal, or wandering can present a challenge for families. Our team members have received training in taking care of patients with various conditions. When you entrust the care of your loved ones to us, rest assured they will be treated with kindness, patience and compassion.

Help with Symptoms

Symptoms of the diseases include difficulty concentrating and remembering simple items or tasks. Advanced symptoms like confusion, withdrawal, wandering or getting lost can present a challenge for families. Our specialized care is one way to give seniors the help they need to cope with such challenging health situations.

The Extra Mile

Our caregivers understand they may have to reintroduce themselves to your mom or dad every time they come through the door. We prepare meals accordingly if utensils become too difficult to manage. We stimulate your loved ones short term memory through cognitive and interactive activities, while encouraging them to reminisce about happy memories from the past.

Personal Care

We aid with non-medical needs and activities of daily living. Our caregivers help keep your family member looking and feeling their best.

Our caregivers provide sensitive, confidential care in a way that respects your loved one’s dignity and well-being while helping them remain independent for as long as possible.

  • Safe bathing environment
  • Personal hygiene assistance
  • Diet monitoring
  • Meal planning
  • Assistance with dressing
  • Walking assistance
  • Assistance with restroom use

Companion Care

Companion care is one of our most popular senior homecare services. We help keep your loved one engaged at home.

Whether you live across the country or next door from your aging family member, it helps to know they have someone nearby when they need support. Having a friendly, compassionate companion who visits regularly to sit, chat, and reminisce will give you the peace of mind you need, and gives your family someone they can trust. We can also accompany them to visit family, friends or attend social events.

  • Social events and friend visits
  • Shopping & errands
  • Personal correspondence and memoirs
  • Medication reminders
  • Home projects
  • Safety & security

Safe Transition

Whether leaving a hospital, rehabilitation center, treatment center, or out of surgery, you can count on our support and care. We provide flexible, affordable, dependable services.

  • Pick you up at the facility or hospital on discharge day and take you home;
  • Pick up essentials from the grocery store or pharmacy and deliver to your home;
  • Make sure you are properly settled in your home;
  • Communicate any needed medical follow-up information;
  • Ensure medication is administered according to the doctor’s prescription;
  • Provide housekeeping and 24 hour service.

Life Management (aka Geriatric Care Management) & 24-hour Care

When seniors need life management support, it doesn’t have to mean leaving their home. If you are a family caregiver, you know that a poor night’s sleep can affect their health. Our life management services mean that a caregiver lives in your home to help with anything from spontaneous needs to planned outings. Live-in caregivers also need a good night’s sleep in order to provide the best care possible for your loved one. Therefore, our caregivers rotate shifts to ensure someone is always alert in order to help your loved one.

  • Bathing
  • Skincare & make-up
  • Continence care
  • Dressing & grooming
  • Personal hygiene
  • Restroom assistance
  • Active range-of-motion assistance
  • Transfer and ambulatory assistance
  • Accompaniment
  • Reading
  • Medication reminders

Day Saver

Our trained caregiver can stay with mom or dad when you need to step out for the day. The caregiver will adhere to your established routine to eliminate any confusion.

Concierge Homecare Services for Seniors

Choosing a homecare provider for a loved one is quite an emotional process. Our concierge service can help you identify the needs and devise a senior homecare solution that works for you.

Our qualified caregivers have been the key to our success. Before assigning a caregiver, we will take time to listen to your needs and identify all areas of concern. Our goal is to get to the heart of the matter and offer solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Together you and your caregiver can determine the list of services needed and select a plan accordingly.
