Love and Care for
Seniors
Daughters On Loan offer an instant support system for Seniors. From logistics to loving care and advice, we’ll step in when your family cannot.
Concierge Service for Seniors
As we age, everyday tasks can often become more difficult to manage independently. Activities like grocery shopping, attending appointments, handling household administration, or preparing for a move can feel overwhelming. Daughters on Loan offers a solution—a bespoke Concierge Service for Seniors, designed to provide compassionate and reliable assistance tailored to individual needs.
The term “concierge” stems from the French comte des cierges, or “keepers of the keys,” reflecting a tradition of trusted helpers who attend to the unique needs of their clients. At Daughters on Loan, this tradition is honored through thoughtful and attentive support, ensuring seniors maintain their independence and dignity while easing the burdens on their families.
Daughters on Loan steps in to assist with tasks that may have become too challenging for seniors to handle on their own. More than just a helping hand, this service offers peace of mind for families, reducing the stress that often accompanies caring for aging parents. Open communication is central to the service, with regular updates provided to families, concerns promptly addressed, and proactive solutions implemented to improve quality of life for everyone involved.
Relocations
When family members live far away or are unable to assist, Daughters on Loan steps in to provide the care and support of an instant family. With a hands-on approach, we take the load off your shoulders, transforming what might seem like an overwhelming task into a seamless and positive experience. Our goal is to ease the burden on your family and ensure every step of the process is handled with care and efficiency.
We specialize in assisting with transitions, offering services that simplify and streamline the process. From researching and securing a suitable retirement home to settling into a new residence, we’re there every step of the way.
Daughters on Loan will research and recommend retirement homes, assist with viewings, and help complete application forms. We help declutter and organize by recycling, donating, consigning, or facilitating the sale of goods. Household goods are inventoried for easy tracking, and reputable removal companies are engaged, with quotes provided and a clear timeline created.
We organize storage facilities when necessary and manage change-of-address notifications to ensure nothing is missed. On moving day, we oversee packers, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Once at the new residence, we handle the setup—arranging furniture, connecting phones and TVs, hanging pictures, planning the space, and stocking cupboards and the fridge to create a comfortable, welcoming home.
After the move, we supervise the cleaning of the vacated property, oversee the handover, and handle any loose ends, so you and your loved ones can focus on adjusting to the next chapter with peace of mind.
Care, wellness and nurture
Caring for your senior parents’ health and wellness can be challenging, especially if you live far away or there is no permanent support system in place. Daughters on Loan provides compassionate and dependable assistance to ensure your parents’ well-being, whether they live independently or in a care facility.
Our services are designed to address every aspect of their care with sensitivity and attention to detail. We assist with recuperation, including hospital discharge, packing personal belongings, and settling into a home or step-down facility. As part of a palliative care team, we coordinate equipment rentals, carer schedules, and communication with doctors and nurses, while offering both practical and emotional support.
We handle Medical Aid administration to ensure claims and paperwork are managed efficiently and on time. From supervising domestic workers and caregivers to managing maintenance, we oversee all supplier and contractor relationships to keep your parents’ environment running smoothly. If needed, we source, interview, and recruit suitable staff to provide additional support.
Our team consults with medical practitioners and pharmacists, facilitates safety and comfort enhancements in the home, and continuously assesses and redefines needs as they evolve. We also arrange personal services, such as grooming or nutritional support, and check expiration dates on medicines and food to maintain safety.
During times of illness or bereavement, we are there to provide unwavering support, ensuring your parents are cared for with the respect and dignity they deserve.
Administration and Errands
At Daughters on Loan, we take care of the never-ending “to-do” lists, no matter how big or small. Our reliable assistance ensures seniors can enjoy a worry-free, well-supported life. With us by their side, your parents can handle their responsibilities with ease and confidence, even if you’re far away. Our mission is to simplify daily tasks, providing comfort, security, and peace of mind.
We assist with everyday errands like grocery, retail, and clothes shopping, ensuring groceries are delivered and unpacked into the fridge or cupboard. Laundry drop-offs and pick-ups are managed seamlessly, and we even take pets to the vet when needed. For travel needs, we help complete visa application forms, pack suitcases, and accompany seniors to the airport.
We handle accounts reconciliation, administrative tasks, and medical aid support as a trusted third-party provider. Basic IT skills are taught to improve confidence with technology, and maintenance or repairs are organized and overseen with care.
Decluttering and spring-cleaning tasks, such as sorting closets, are managed efficiently, while staff rosters are coordinated to ensure smooth operations at home. Appointments are scheduled, correspondence is handled, and house or pet sitting is arranged for when seniors travel. We even water the plants to make sure nothing is overlooked.
With Daughters on Loan, every task becomes manageable, and your loved ones are supported every step of the way.
Companionship and Social Interaction
Aging can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness, which may impact mental health. Maintaining relationships and staying active are essential for healthy aging, yet this can be challenging for some seniors. With Daughters on Loan as a trusted concierge service, you can feel confident knowing your parents are receiving the care, companionship, and attention they need to thrive.
We make connections meaningful, starting with simple check-ins over a cup of tea. Transportation for outings and appointments is arranged with ease, and we coordinate visits, activities, and special events to keep life engaging and joyful.
For those with low vision, we offer to read books aloud, and for moments of leisure, we play cards, games, music, or complete puzzles together. A stroll in the garden, knitting, or needlework can be shared as relaxing pastimes.
We also bring joy to special occasions by organizing birthdays and anniversaries, purchasing gifts for loved ones, or helping plan High Holy holidays and Festivals. Memberships in clubs and societies are sourced to encourage connection and community involvement.
With Daughters on Loan, your loved ones are supported not only practically but also emotionally, fostering a life filled with companionship and vibrant moments.
Transportation
Mobility challenges shouldn’t prevent seniors from enjoying life, running errands, or attending important appointments. At Daughters on Loan, we go beyond being a simple transportation service. We offer a personal, door-to-door experience, ensuring seniors have everything they need before leaving home and staying with them throughout their outing to ensure their comfort, safety, and overall well-being.
We accompany seniors to medical appointments, going into the practice with them and even joining the consultation when permitted by them or their family. For errands like grocery, clothes, or retail shopping, we provide friendly assistance and transport to local malls.
For those undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, we offer reliable and compassionate transport services. We also handle trips to hair and beauty appointments or outings to parks, restaurants, the seaside, or the theatre, ensuring seniors remain socially and actively engaged.
When it’s time to travel, we provide transport to and from the airport, offering peace of mind throughout the journey. With Daughters on Loan, your loved ones have a trusted companion to help them stay connected, active, and confident wherever life takes them.
