Right at Home caregivers can help with any of the Home Care Services, as well as support hospice care where available.

Housekeeping and meal preparation. In-home caregivers keep the home clean, do laundry, and remove fall hazards inside and outside the home. They can go to the grocery store and prepare meals with ingredients and preparation methods as instructed by the client's healthcare provider.
Companionship. Loneliness and inactivity increase post-stroke depression and make it less likely that patients will follow their treatment plan. In-home caregivers help clients avoid a debilitating sense of isolation. And having a caregiver at the ready gives patients the confidence to follow their healthcare provider's recommendation for physical activity.
Support for family caregivers. Family caregivers play an important role in the recovery of their loved one. In many cases, the availability of family support makes it possible for the patient to recover at home rather than in a nursing home. But caring for a stroke survivor is hard work. Many family members report feeling unprepared for the tasks they must perform. They feel torn between their caregiver tasks, job duties and other responsibilities. Those who live at a distance worry constantly and may need to make many trips back and forth at a high cost.
