Non-medical in-home care is sometimes confused with home health care. While the two services can work hand-in-hand, their goals and outcomes are different.

Home health care typically addresses skilled medical needs, such as wound care, IV medication administration, and physical or occupational therapy. Non-medical in-home care, on the other hand, focuses on support with daily activities like bathing and dressing, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.

At Safe and Sound Home Care, we can help you determine which type of care is most appropriate for your current needs. Call our office today at 662-234-1221 to speak with a member of our team.

Caring for a loved one is an act of devotion, but it can also place unexpected strain on family relationships. When the responsibilities of caregiving become overwhelming, stress and burnout can impact even the strongest bonds.

Non-medical in-home care can provide reliable support with daily tasks, personal care, companionship, and routine needs, professional caregivers allow family members to step back into their roles as daughters, sons, spouses, and friends. With the right support, families can focus on meaningful moments again, while knowing their loved one is safe, comfortable, and receiving the attentive care they deserve.

If you’ve noticed tension or exhaustion in your family’s caregiving routine, compassionate help is available. Call us today at 662-234-1221 to learn how our services can help you and your loved one!

The holiday season, while often filled with generosity and goodwill, can also create opportunities for fraud and financial abuse, especially for vulnerable adults and seniors.

You may need to take a closer look if you notice that your loved one:
• No longer has basic necessities or comforts they once could easily afford
• Gives unusually large payments, “tips,” or gifts in exchange for care or companionship
• Has a caregiver who manages their money but does not adequately meet their needs
• Has experienced sudden, unexplained changes to important documents, such as a power of attorney, property titles, or a will

If any of these warning signs are present, it may be time to ask questions, seek professional guidance, and ensure your loved one’s financial safety.
