Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Personal care home health services often include assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding. These basic tasks can become challenging for individuals with physical limitations or cognitive impairments, and having professional assistance can greatly improve their quality of life.
Medication Management
Managing medications can be complex, especially for individuals with multiple prescriptions. Personal care home health services may involve medication reminders, assistance with medication administration, and medication management to make sure that individuals take the right medications at the right times.
Mobility Assistance
For individuals with mobility issues or those recovering from surgery or injury, mobility assistance is essential for safety and independence. Personal care home health aides can provide support with transferring, walking, and using mobility aids such as walkers or wheelchairs.
Staying Active Is Fun!
At Juniper, the ConnectionsSM Activities program places residents at the center of attention. It provides a diverse array of recreational and leisure programs, each designed around their unique interests and preferences.
Maintaining physical fitness is also straightforward at Juniper. The on-site fitness center is readily available for the exercise needs of each resident, while the spa and salon offer opportunities for relaxation and self-care.
Meal Preparation & Nutrition
Keeping up with a healthy diet is important for well-being, but if an individual is dealing with limited movement or cognitive issues, creating nourishing meals can be tough. That’s where personal home health services come into play. They can help out with planning meals, grocery shopping, cooking the meals, and even assisting with eating to make sure residents are getting the nutrition they need.

Light Housekeeping
Keeping a clean and organized living environment is important for both physical and mental health. Personal care home health aides can assist with light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, dishes, dusting, and vacuuming, helping individuals maintain a safe and comfortable home environment.
Companionship & Emotional Support
Loneliness and social isolation can have a significant impact on mental and emotional well-being, especially for older adults living alone. Personal care home health aides not only provide physical assistance but also offer companionship and emotional support, engaging in conversation, accompanying individuals on outings, and participating in programs together.
Transportation Assistance
For individuals who are unable to drive or have difficulty using public transportation, personal care home health services may include transportation assistance to medical appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, or social events, making sure that individuals can access essential services and maintain social connections.
Care Coordination
Personal care home services often involve collaboration with other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, therapists, and physicians, to oversee coordinated and comprehensive care. This may include regular communication, medication management, and assistance with healthcare appointments.
Connect4Life
Juniper’s’ Connect4Life program is an integrated care for older adults. It’s designed to provide individualized, coordinated care by integrating clinical providers, their services, and communication protocols. The goal is to make care easy to access and well-coordinated.
The program makes sure that residents have convenient access to appointments and provider consistency. The Connect4Life model includes on-site comprehensive therapy, medical care, pharmacy, and lab services, all coordinated for the benefit of the residents.
