Seniors often face difficulties when it comes to getting up in the morning or going to sleep at night. As people age, they may experience changes in their sleeping patterns, such as difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night, or not feeling rested after a full night’s sleep. Additionally, some seniors have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning due to physical limitations and pain. In addition, new mothers, people with disabilities and individuals recovering from an injury or surgical procedure can encounter physical limitations that make getting up in the morning or going to bed a challenge.

Not getting enough sleep can have long-term consequences on physical and mental health. Studies have found that not getting enough sleep can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. It can also increase the risk of depression and anxiety, as well as impair cognitive function. In addition, inadequate sleep has been linked to an increased risk of accidents due to impaired judgment or reaction time.

That’s why at J&M Homecare Services, we offer our Rise and Shine/Tuck In Service to people in Stockton, San Ramon, San Rafael and throughout surrounding communities in the Bay Area. Our program has helped individuals wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night since 2001. Our professional in-home companions provide support with getting out of bed, dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting and other Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). We can also help with taking medication, preparing meals and light housekeeping.

Rise and Shine

Rise and Shine focuses on helping seniors, new moms, disabled adults and people recovering from an injury or chronic illness get out of bed and start their day right. Although some people who have trouble getting out of bed in the morning rely on family caregivers to help them out, many family caregivers run into trouble with providing this level of care because having to help a loved one in the morning can make them late for work or other obligations. Thanks to our in-home companions, your loved one can get the support they need when they wake up for the day while giving you peace of mind.

Here are some ways Rise and Shine can help your loved one:

• Getting out of bed
• Getting dressed in clean, comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
• Putting on compression socks
• Bathing, brushing their hair and brushing their teeth
• Making the bed
• Navigating the hallway and using the stairs
• Preparing breakfast
• Reminding them to take their medication
• Encouraging light exercise
• Companionship
• Transportation to any appointments they have in the morning

Tuck In Service

Our Tuck In Service helps people get ready for bed in the evening. Creating a relaxing nighttime routine can make it easier for your loved one to get a restful night’s sleep, which will help them be more active and alert the next day and improve their quality of life. Going to bed can be difficult if you’re experiencing physical limitations or feel too stressed out to go to sleep. Fortunately, our in-home companions can help your loved one with their nightly routine and make sure they sleep soundly throughout the night.

Our in-home companions can assist with:
