“Almost everyone loves their home and wants to stay in it for as long as possible. But sometimes people run out of energy and can’t take care of themselves and their household so that they can lead a full and dignified life on their own. The cause may be chronic or current illness or a decrease in the forces associated with old age or overwork. At such a moment, the solution may be to help the staff of nursing services, “says councilor JUDr. Petr Lachnit.
Few of the public know that the care service is provided not only to the senior public (people over the age of 65), but also to people with physical and disabilities over the age of 35 or families with triplets and multiple children aged 0-6 years. At the same time, these people must meet the criterion that their actual residences are located in the city district of Prague 5.
Field care service
The care service is provided in the field, which means that caregivers come to clients’ homes. One of the goals of the care services provided is for the client to maintain the maximum level of self-service and therefore not become dependent on the service in areas where it is not absolutely necessary. To this end, the scope and scope of services provided are defined with the client: before signing the contract, the social worker and the applicant (if the applicant so wishes, and in the presence of his loved ones) define in great detail what and how exactly the client needs help. After concluding the contract, we will take over this client’s order from the coordinator, who will ensure a specific care plan, and the client will start fulfilling it from the agreed date in cooperation with the caregivers. If his abilities and skills change with the client, the coordinator (based on the client’s wishes is his family) initiates communication and together adjusts the form and scope of care provided so that the cooperation corresponds to the current state and abilities of the client.

The caregiver will also take the dog out
The nursing service provides a wide range of activities. Client caregivers can help with hygiene, prepare and serve food and drink, support him in moving safely around the apartment or outside, help clients with dressing and undressing, carry out errands (to buy food, medicine, etc.), wash they hang the laundry in the washing machine, hang it, iron it and deliver it to the closet, perform basic household cleaning or deliver lunches from an external supplier to the clients’ household. Clients use the transport of Taxík Maxík vehicles, in the case of free caregivers’ capacity, they can request a walk of domestic animals and their feeding, or an escort for a walk, purchase or a social event.
Psychic opera
Caregivers and coordinators are not only the “surrogate” hands and feet of the client, but (especially in the case of lonely people) often their only psychic support and confidence in difficult times. It often happens that personal care services are the only people the client talks to throughout the day.
Each of us is aware that we will get to the point where we will not be able to take care of ourselves, and each of us is afraid of that. When we need the care of another person, we want them to be professional, kind and kind. And we set the same standard for our care service. We want you (when you need us) to find nice and helpful staff who will help you even when you stop believing that your situation can be handled with dignity and show you that the world is still a good place to live.
