Halcyon was created to deliver quality and compassionate care to those in need. The Halcyon bird is said to be the first to fly out from Noah’s Arc. This kingfisher is also known to breed about the time of the winter solstice in a nest floating on the sea, and to have the power of charming the winds and waves into calmness. At Halcyon they aspire to create a calm and idyllic setting for you in the most difficult times. They are passionately dedicated to provide assistance to you and your family, in order for you to live comfortably and have peace of mind.

Companionship
At Halcyon Private Home Care our caregivers act as trusted partners to your aging family members while offering a
friendly ear and capable hands. Aging parents can become lonely and isolated, especially when family members don't live nearby. Companionship can be a great service to alleviate some loneliness, as well as to provide some basic help and safety.

At Halcyon we understand that maneuvering in the kitchen and preparing meals becomes difficult as we age. Our staff will help prepare and encourage proper diet and nutrition based on each clients individual needs and desires. Our staff can also assist in menu planning taking into consideration dietary restrictions and other limitations such as low sodium diets and low sugar (diabetic) diets while monitoring food and fluid intake.
Medication Reminder
Seniors use more prescription and over the counter medications than any other age group. The proper administration of multiple medications throughout the day can be a challenge for most people.
Managing medications properly is vital to your loved one's health. At Halcyon, we offer around the clock home care services to ensure that our clients get the attention they deserve. Our caregivers can assist in medication management by tracking medication times and reminding clients to take their medications on schedule as well as reporting side effects of these medications to family members and appropriate medical staff. We can conduct a complete inventory of medications upon start of service, and our staff can update as needed.
