What Is Elderly Care?
Our elderly care services support seniors with activities of daily living (ADLs)—the essential tasks that enable independent living. Whether your loved one is recovering from illness, managing chronic conditions, or simply needs extra hands with day-to-day routines, our caregivers provide professional, compassionate support in the comfort of home.
We serve seniors throughout Fairfield County, with particular expertise serving families in Fairfield, Westport, and Greenwich. Our RN-led approach means every care plan is designed by a Registered Nurse who understands both the clinical and emotional dimensions of aging.
What Our Elderly Care Includes
- Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Bathing, showering, grooming, dressing, and personal hygiene assistance tailored to your loved one's needs and preferences
- Mobility and Transfer Assistance: Safe help with walking, transfers from bed to chair, and navigation throughout the home to prevent falls and injuries
- Medication Reminders and Management: Our caregivers remind seniors to take medications on schedule and can track what's been taken
- Nutritional Support: Meal preparation, feeding assistance if needed, and encouragement to maintain healthy eating habits
- Incontinence Care: Discreet, dignified assistance with toileting and continence management
- Housekeeping and Light Cleaning: Keeping the home safe and comfortable, including laundry and tidying
- Companionship and Engagement: Meaningful social interaction to combat isolation and maintain emotional wellbeing
Who Is Elderly Care For?
Our elderly care services are perfect for seniors who are:
- Living alone and needing support with daily tasks
- Recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalization
- Managing multiple chronic conditions with complex medication schedules
- Experiencing difficulty with mobility or balance
- Wanting to age in place and remain at home rather than move to a facility
- Recently widowed and adjusting to living independently
Many families find that with our support, their elderly relative regains confidence in their ability to manage daily life—and families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe and well-cared for.
How TruAura's RN-Led Approach Makes a Difference
Most home care agencies assign caregivers through coordinators without clinical backgrounds. At TruAura, every care plan is designed and overseen by Shelly McConnell, an RN with 13+ years of hospital experience. This means:
- Clinical expertise from day one: We assess not just what tasks need doing, but the health conditions that affect your loved one's care needs
- Early detection of health changes: Our caregivers are trained to recognize subtle signs of infection, medication side effects, or declining health—and report to the RN immediately
- Coordination with doctors: We work directly with your loved one's physicians to align care with medical recommendations
- Caregiver selection and training: Our team is carefully vetted and trained in safety, dignity, and compassionate care under RN supervision
- Person-centered care: We treat your loved one as an individual with preferences, dignity, and a right to maintain their independence as much as possible
Signs It Might Be Time for Elderly Care
Many families wait too long to seek help, or feel guilty about asking. Consider elderly care if:
- You or a family member are struggling to help with bathing, toileting, or dressing
- Your loved one has fallen or expressed fear of falling
- Medication reminders are becoming inconsistent or forgotten
- Meals are being skipped or nutrition is declining
- Your loved one expresses loneliness or isolation
- You're taking on caregiving tasks that are affecting your own health or work
- Post-hospitalization recovery is slower than expected
What to Expect: Our Onboarding Process
Initial Consultation: We start with a free phone conversation to understand your loved one's situation, health history, and care preferences. This helps us determine if we're the right fit for your family.
In-Home Assessment: Shelly or another RN visits to assess your loved one's home, health status, mobility, and specific care needs. We discuss goals, preferences, and any concerns from the family.
Care Plan Development: Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized care plan outlining what support will be provided, the schedule, and how we'll measure success.
Caregiver Introduction: We introduce you to the specific caregiver(s) who will provide care. You'll have time to build trust and communicate preferences before regular care begins.
Ongoing Monitoring: Throughout the engagement, our RN stays involved—monitoring health, adjusting the care plan as needs change, and maintaining communication with your loved one's physicians.
