One of the most popular services of Southcare Senior Services is our Home Delivered Meals. Our seniors enjoy a hot and nutritious meal delivered at the door of their homes.

Preventative Maintenance
and Repairs


As people age, they are less eager to climb ladders, use power tools, or engage in the tasks necessary for the maintenance of their residences. At the same time, however, it is essential that homes be maintained to keep costs down and prevent possible injury to the elderly, thereby allowing them to remain in their homes as long as possible.

Southcare’s objective is to take care of minor emergency home repairs immediately, preventing further deterioration of homes. We will also provide preventative maintenance and repair services to manage the upkeep of our client’s residence. Our preventative maintenance and repair services include plumbing and electrical systems, painting, roofing, and re-insulation.

Transportation

Mobility not only contributes to the enjoyment of life, but is essential to the provision of health care and other
services. Southcare provides transportation services for the elderly for shopping, banking, medical and dental treatment.

Clients may request transportation by making arrangements directly with our office.

Homemaker, Companion &
Sitter Service

The companionship and interpersonal interactions between the older person and one of our staff members will go hand in hand with our Meals on Wheels program. This will allow us the opportunity to provide substantial support for the elderly by listening to their concerns and by assessing the overall condition of their homes. Companion services are designed to provide the client with homemaking assistance. Our emphasis is on providing a healthy and secure environment for elderly residents in their own familiar surroundings for the longest possible time.
 


 

-OUR SENIORS-

Case Study:
M
arlene

A senior in her late sixties, Marlene lives alone at her little home on the outskirts of City of Alachua. She walks with the help of a cane and the entrance of her home had exposed roots and very steeps stairs leading to her front door. It was a dangerous situation for her. We immediately took action as a preventive measure. The old entrance was
replaced with a nice new stair and walkway. She feels much safer now and feels happy with her new safer home.
