Our Services

Personal Care

When it comes to personal care, such as toileting or bathing, many people are uncomfortable to receive help from a family member. Our compassionate caregivers are highly experienced in providing personal care to older adults while maintaining their dignity.

At Colrespect we provide services such as:

• Bathing
• Toileting and incontinence care
• Feeding
• Grooming
• Dressing
• Personal hygiene

Companionship

As we are becoming more civilized, we have less opportunity to spend time with each other. Loneliness is one of the prime challenges for North American older adults, and the situation is getting worse due to the recent pandemic. ColRespect Quality time Companionship program is a personalized plan that maximizes the time we spend with you. It is not just another hour which you pay for a service, it is the time that enhances your quality of life. We customize the companionship program based on each client’s interests and needs.

Here are only a few ways we offer companionship:

• Reading
• Letter writing
• Eating with a companion
• Attending a theater or movie
• Visiting a shopping centre
• Walking
• Outings to the beach, park or picnic
• Attending beauty salons
• Attending Seniors Events
• Grocery Shopping

Recreational Activities

At Colrespect, one of our goals is to keep clients active and socially engaged. We believe this is a major contributor to a happy and fulfilled life. However, in practice, finding the most suitable program is not as easy as it seems. Our activation coordinator specialist designs customized activities based on a thorough initial assessment which focuses on each person’s interests, strengths, and weaknesses. Not only do these activities improve physical endurance but also cognitive and memory capabilities.

A few examples of the activities we provide are:

• Physical activities such as walking, swimming, dance, fitness
• Gardening
• Crafts and art
• Games like playing cards, board games, bingo and computer games
• Reading together
• Cooking
• Carpentry

Home Support

Keeping a home clean and tidy requires a tremendous amount of work. When older adults find themselves unable to take care of their home, they may feel a loss of independence. ColRespect has designed homemaking services to support seniors who need some help living in their homes.

Home support may include:

• Dusting
• vacuuming
• Cleaning bathrooms
• Making the bed/changing linens
• Doing laundry and ironing
• Taking out the garbage
• Cleaning the kitchen
• Running errands

Meals & Nutrition

The opportunity of working with a food specialist has shown us that food can be a crucial part of elderly life. At ColRespect, we believe food is not only a mixture of some ingredients but is an element of a happy life. The taste, texture, aroma and atmosphere of eating can bring joyful memories of the past which is an extremely important factor in seniors’ healthy life.

Here are some services that are offered at ColRespect:

• Initial assessment to know more about food taste, meal preferences and cultural choices
• Searching recipes and letting the client choose the desired one
• Providing personalized meal based on the initial evaluation
• Making table setting and food presentation in an appealing fashion
• Focusing on childhood recipes, especially for dementia patients

Minor Home Maintenance

You do not need to live in a dangerous and unclean home. Most older adults prefer to stay in their own homes, but for many, handling the household chores might be a huge challenge. ColRespect can help you to maintain a clean and safe environment at home through regular maintenance. We can also assist seniors to arrange for a professional repair.

A few of our services are as follows:

• We regularly check the fire alarms and/or extinguishers to make sure they are working.
• We do minor home repairs such as, leaking faucet, small painting, fixing broken wall, changing light bulbs, repairing broken lock, and so on.
• If there is a need for professional repair, you do not need to worry about dealing with repair companies; we do the negotiation for you if you wish.
