Lawrenceville at Home Companion Services
iCherish Home Care provides companion services for senior older adults and people in need throughout Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County. Companion care is a kind of home care service that is non-medical, supplying emotional support and socialization. These services do not involve any tasks that require caregivers to touch the client. Rather than bathing and dressing, companion care involves shopping trips, doctor visits, housework assistance, and meal preparation, for example. It is lovely when family and friends provide social engagement to their loved ones. Still, it is not always an option for a variety of reasons. Whether family and friends are in the mix or not, companion care is critical. It is a way to enrich someone's life by being there for much-needed socialization.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition Guidance
When older people and those with disabilities live alone, they rarely eat a balanced diet. It is easy for a senior not to want to cook for one. And forget to eat, rely on unhealthy junk food, or miss meals for many reasons. Meal preparation is where iCherish caregivers can help. As part of the companion services we offer in Lawrenceville, we prepare delicious meals to help our clients stay nourished. Eating right promotes good health and consistent energy levels.
Medication Compliance Reminders
One of the most confusing daily tasks for our clients is managing their medications. Multiple prescriptions to take at different times do not make it easy for most. Nearly all our Lawrenceville clients have daily medications to take. Missing doses or accidentally taking too much can have serious complications. Take the worry out of managing medications. A reliable iCherish caregiver will nicely make sure your loved one takes their meds as prescribed.

Of course, when a client refuses prescribed medication for any reason, we alert the family or physician at once.
Temperature and Respiration Checks
Accurate temperature and respiration checks have never been as critical as they are today. The iCherish caregivers screen temperature and check breathing for clients every visit. We train our caregivers to seek nurse assistance or call 911 if they detect irregular temperatures or breathing.

We monitor and check the blood pressure and blood glucose levels of our clients each visit. This practice helps avoid the extreme high and lows that quickly lead to a health crisis. Of course, for urgent situations, our caregivers are trained to contact the nurse or 911.

Plan of Care
The Plan of Care is a written outline of the specific medical interventions and treatments recommended for a client needs to heal or maintain health at home. Our licensed iCherish nurses conduct in-home client assessments to devise a Plan of Care. This Plan of Care considers medical diagnoses, symptoms, physician instructions, prescriptions, and client goals and preferences. All personnel will refer to the Plan of Care for the individual client to provide the best care during each residential Lawrenceville home care visit.
Clinical Assessments
At iCherish, nurses determine the needs and status of a client with various clinical assessments. In-home clinical assessments often occur when creating a Plan of Care but can occur at any time during Lawrenceville home care services. These assessments assess the range of motion, mobility level, wound care, along with health issues. Nursing, alongside the Plan of Care, is the senior home care you may need.
Administration or Set-Up of Oral (PO) Medications
Seniors and the disabled need an easy-to-understand system for taking their meds as directed to ensure no contraindications. Having a professional nurse to organize and set-up a medication schedule is the service our clients appreciate most. Be sure that our nurses also collaborate with Lawrenceville client physicians to keep medication plans is up-to-date and accurate.

iCherish can help when clients need assistance in taking routine oral medications and injectables like insulin. The administration of insulin injections requires a visit from an iCherish Registered Nurse (RN).
Medication Monitoring and Titration
Our nurses not only set-up med-taking systems and administer medications but also monitor medication and provide titration to inform drug adjustments—when necessary.
