When a loved one begins to need extra support, finding the right care can make all the difference. At Home Instead Northeastern, CT, our professional caregivers—also known as Care Professionals—offer more than just assistance with daily routines. They provide meaningful companionship, peace of mind, and trusted non-medical care, helping older adults maintain independence at home.


What Does a Home Instead Caregiver Do?

Our Care Professionals provide a wide range of non-medical services that enhance quality of life and help seniors remain safe and comfortable in their own homes.

Personalized Non-Medical Support

Each client receives a personalized plan of care tailored to their unique needs and lifestyle. Care Professionals assist with non-medical personal care, which may include help with grooming, dressing, and mobility, all designed to support daily comfort and dignity.

Meaningful Companionship

More than just providing assistance, our caregivers offer meaningful social interaction. Whether it’s enjoying a conversation over coffee, playing a favorite game, or going for a short walk, Care Professionals build relationships that help reduce loneliness and bring joy to everyday life.

Light Housekeeping and Meal Prep

Maintaining a clean and organized home is essential for well-being. Our caregivers help with light housekeeping tasks such as vacuuming, laundry, and making beds. They also prepare nutritious meals based on client preferences and dietary guidelines.

Errands and Transportation Support

From grocery shopping to picking up prescriptions, Care Professionals can assist with errands as part of a client’s non-medical care plan. They also provide transportation to appointments or outings when needed, offering added peace of mind for families.

Medication Reminders

Our caregivers can provide reminders for medications that clients typically take on their own. While they don’t administer medications, they can help support a consistent routine.
