What Our Community is Saying
I've been a caregiver with Interim going on 4 years. It's very rewarding experience and I love and treat my clients like family. No regrets with this company. They are always there when I need them.
My caregiver exercised with me so I might be stronger. She helped me get from her doing most of the work to me being able to do somethings on my own again. Terry has been my lifeline.
Interim HealthCare has amazing caretakers. My grandmother is always so happy to receive a visit from her caretaker!
Excellent company to work with. They will never leave you without coverage. Their prices are fair, also. We highly recommend them.
Interim is very prompt, responsive and professional to work with and has compassionate staff! Highly recommend!
I have been very pleased with the services received from Interim HealthCare. Not only are they very knowledgeable in what they do, they are also very caring and trustworthy. I feel at ease now that I know my father is being well taken care of by such great professionals in the comfort of his own home.
Interim Healthcare is a great place to work. The team is caring, compassionate and supportive. Their focus on providing hands on quality services and overall client satisfaction can be seen across the company. Making a difference everyday, is our focus and I believe Interim delivers that each and every day to our clients and their families.
I just want to applaud Brooke. She does a fantastic job with my mom. When she found out that my mom liked music she brought her keyboard and played for my mom! Also yesterday she texted me that my mom was communicating really well and remembering a lot from her past and asked me if there were pictures that she could pull out and talk to my mom about-this was so sweet

As the summer season heats up, it's essential for caregiver professionals to take extra precautions to ensure the well-being and comfort of their clients. The elderly, in particular, are more vulnerable to the effects of heat and dehydration. Here are some comprehensive summer tips to help you and your clients stay safe and enjoy a comfortable season.
1. Stay Hydrated: Hydration is key? Ensure that both you and your clients drink plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can be a serious concern, especially for the elderly. Keep a water bottle handy and offer drinks regularly. Consider incorporating hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and strawberries into meals and snacks.
2. Dress Appropriately: Encourage your clients to wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing to stay cool. Don't forget comfortable, breathable footwear!
3. Sun Protection: Protect against harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Make sure to cover all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Wearing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses can also help shield your skin and eyes from the sun. Whenever possible, seek shade during peak sun hours (10:00am-4:00pm)
4. Monitor Medications: Some medications can increase sensitivity to the sun and heat. Review your clients' medications and consult with their healthcare providers if necessary. Ensure medications are stored at appropriate temperatures to maintain their efficacy.
5. Plan Indoor Activities: On extremely hot days, keep your clients entertained with engaging indoor activities. Reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, and light exercises like chair yoga can be great alterntives to outdoor activities. This helps avoid the risk of heat-related illnesses while still keeping your clients active and stimulated.
6. Check the Weather: Stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared for heatwaves. Use this information to plan your day and avoid scheduling outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day. Having a flexible schedule can help you and your clients stay comfortable.
7. Use Fans and Air Conditioning: Ensure that living spaces are cool and well-ventilated. Use fans, air conditioning, or cooling devices to maintain a comfortable environment. If your clients don't have air conditioning, consider spending time in air-conditioned public places like malls, libraries, or community centers.
8. Watch for Signs of Heat-Related Illness: Be vigilant for symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, and rapid heartbeat. If you or your client experience any of these symptoms, love to a cooler place, hydrate, and seek medical attention if neccessary. Early detection and response are crucial.
9. Encourage Healthy Snacks: Offer refreshing and hydrating snacks like fruits and vegetables with high water content. Options like watermelon, oranges, cucumbers, and grapes can help with hydration and provide essential nutrients. Avoid sugary drinks and snacks that can lead to dehydration.
Stay Cool, Stay Safe, and Enjoy the Summer!
